From Geometry to Artistry 

A Vacheron Constantin watch is far more than merely the sum of its parts. Starting from a sketch, a geometrical drawing and its technical extensions, a whole world of shapes, colours, and textures is born. The complex structures of mechanical engineering combine with design; meticulous detail gives life to grace; artisanal intelligence sparks emotions. 

Based on formal, mathematical study, Vacheron Constantin timepieces are thus endowed with a touch of soulfulness and elegance representing the ultimate expression of artistic talent. This year at Watches and Wonders Geneva, the luxury brand released a range of timepieces that vividly illustrate this alchemy within which artistry is inspired by geometrical shapes. 

We are thrilled to present the new releases from their Overseas, Patrimony and Égérie collections. 

First Sunburst Green Dials in the Overseas Collection

Intense green has been added to the dials and interchangeable straps of four new Overseas models in rose gold, a first for this collection.

In perfect harmony with the spirit of travel, this new hue can now be found on the dials of the 35mm gemset, 41mm date, 42.5mm chronograph and 41mm dual time models.

Water-resistant to 150 metres, each of these new timepieces is equipped with a top-quality self-winding calibre featuring meticulous finishing. The movements feature an oscillating weight engraved with the collection's emblematic compass rose.

On these four models, just as on all Overseas watches, the rose gold bracelet with a folding clasp is easily adjustable. It can be replaced by a calfskin leather strap or a green rubber strap, each with an interchangeable pin buckle.

Patrimony: Two Decades of Minimalist Modernity 

The perfect balance between rounded curves and taut lines: inspired by the minimalist watches of the 1950s, Vacheron Constantin’s Patrimony collection has been celebrating purity of style and the quest for essentials for 20 years. 

New diameter, new dial and strap colours, customisation: the collection continues to be firmly rooted in the modernity of its era with three new models. 

Patrimony Manual-Winding 

Already appreciated for its 40mm size, the new case sculpted in rose or white gold now features a classic 39mm diameter. 

The aesthetic is echoed on the collection’s signature convex dial, whose sunburst-finished surface is attired in a new old-silver-toned colour. This shade providing a hint of retro styling contrasts with the rose gold of the Patrimony collection’s characteristic slim hands, hour-markers, and circular ‘pearl’ minutes track composed by 48 polished 18ct gold pearls. 

In addition to these stylistic evolutions, the alligator leather straps are available in original new azure blue or olive-green colours, adding a fresh touch to the naturally understated nature of the Patrimony. As a final aesthetic detail, the closed case-back enables the owner of the watch to personalise it with a text or design of their choice, delicately engraved in gold. 

While understatement may be the order of the day, precision is clearly every bit as important. At the heart of the case beats manual-winding Calibre 1440. Developed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin, this movement is just 2.6mm thick and endowed with a 42-hour power reserve. 

Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date

Heir to the Maison’s great stylistic and technical tradition, the new Patrimony moon phase retrograde date watch also favours timeless understatement, with a 42.5mm white gold case featuring a new dial colour.

The sunburst old-silver-toned shade creates a subtle contrast with the rose gold of the hands and hour-markers, giving a two-tone twist to this model driven by in-house self-winding Calibre 2460 R31L powering two complications.

The first is a moon-phase indication in an aperture at 6 o’clock, graduated to correspond precisely to the moon’s cycle of 29 days, 12 hours and 45 minutes. This precision moon phase requires just one correction every 122 years. The second consists of a retrograde date display in the upper part of the dial, a Vacheron Constantin technical and style signature. 

Through the sapphire crystal case-back, this in-house calibre displays the emblem of the Maison: a Maltese cross whose shape has inspired that of the open-worked 18ct gold oscillating weight. 

The elegant, pared-down and visually harmonious new Patrimony moon phase retrograde date watch also adopts a new dynamic, enlivening the wrist with an original touch of colour thanks to the new olive-green alligator leather strap. 

A Creative Collaboration with Yiqing Yin – Égérie: The Pleats of Time 

A creative collaboration between Vacheron Constantin and talented designer Yiqing Yin results in two unique new timepieces. This includes an exclusive 100-piece limited edition bearing Yiqing Yin’s name engraved on the case-back. 

Égérie Moon Phase Limited Edition

This interpretation of the moon phase, adorned with lilac mother-of-pearl and festooned with diamonds, is undeniably dreamlike. For a variety of delightful looks, the watch is accompanied by three easily interchangeable straps: alligator, grained calfskin and satin effect calfskin. 

Elegance pervades the entire timepiece, expressed in the contours of the 37mm diamond-set rose gold case, in the slender hands reminiscent of dressmakers' nimble fingers, as well as in the Égérie collection's characteristic asymmetry: a crown set at 2 o'clock aligned with the moon phase and the Vacheron Constantin inscription at 8 o'clock.
