About This Watch
The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon houses the remarkable caliber 2160, featuring a peripheral rotor winding system that provides an unobstructed view of the tourbillon mechanism through the dial opening at 6 o'clock. The peripheral rotor, a ring of 22k gold that rotates around the movement's circumference, eliminates the need for a central rotor that would obscure the view through the caseback, allowing full appreciation of the hand-finished movement from both sides. The tourbillon cage is crafted from titanium to minimize weight and bears the Maltese cross motif, Vacheron Constantin's symbol of quality since 1880. The 80-hour power reserve is exceptional for a tourbillon, providing weekend-spanning autonomy. The 41mm rose gold case and slate grey dial create a sophisticated, contemporary presentation for this traditional complication. The Traditionnelle design language, with its fluted case middle and applied gold markers, frames the tourbillon aperture beautifully. Geneva Seal certification confirms that every component meets the most demanding standards of accuracy, reliability, and aesthetic finishing.
