Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon 6610C/000G-B631

About This Watch

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon combines two of horology's most demanding complications: a minute repeater that chimes the time on demand and a tourbillon that counteracts gravitational effects on timekeeping accuracy. The caliber 2755 TMR is one of the most complex movements Vacheron Constantin produces, with the repeater mechanism chiming hours on a low-pitched gong, quarter hours as a paired low-high strike, and minutes on a high-pitched gong. The tourbillon is visible through a dial aperture at 6 o'clock, its cage bearing the Maltese cross motif. The 44mm white gold case is designed with acoustic performance in mind, with the case back acting as a sound chamber. The slate grey dial maintains elegance despite the mechanical extravagance within. A minute repeater requires the most skilled watchmakers, as each striking mechanism must be individually tuned and timed to produce clear, well-separated tones. Combined with the tourbillon, this watch represents the pinnacle of Vacheron Constantin's traditional complication watchmaking and commands a price reflecting decades of accumulated expertise.
