Technical sophistication and sophisticated technique The Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin in pink gold showcases the technical sophistication of the ultra-thin Calibre 1120 QP/1. This self-winding movement, a mere 4.05mm thick, incorporates a perpetual calendar and moon-phase display – one of watchmaking's most challenging complications. Like a miniature mechanical computer, it automatically adjusts for the complexities of the calendar, requiring no manual correction until 2100. Comprising 276 components, including 36 jewels, Calibre 1120 QP/1 is a feat of miniaturisation that epitomises Vacheron Constantin’s approach to watchmaking. #VacheronConstantin #TheQuest #VC270

The Quest: 270 years of seeking excellence The founding of Vacheron Constantin in Geneva in 1755 marked the beginning of a unique quest for excellence. This quest, to which the Maison has maintained unwavering commitment for 270 years, defines every element of Vacheron Constantin’s identity to this day. The quest for technical excellence is expressed through the mastery of mechanical complications, timekeeping precision, miniaturisation, original displays, fine finishing, and a vocation to always innovate. The quest for artistry fosters not only the creation of elegant designs and intricate decoration but also enduring support for craft and artisans, including long-standing patronage of the Arts and culture. The human quest is manifested not only in a passion for continuous learning and improvement but also through a deep commitment to the transmission of knowledge and savoir-faire. This quest, encapsulated in the words of François Constantin in 1819 to "Do better if possible, and that is always possible", has served as the ultimate inspiration for a Maison focused on creativity and innovation for 270 years. #VacheronConstantin #TheQuest #VC270
