VACHERON CONSTANTIN TRADITIONNELLE - JULY 2024 NEWS
TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION
The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle collection is the supreme expression of the most demanding Geneva Haute Horlogerie traditions inherited from the 18th century. Explore the exceptional timepieces from this collection at J Farren-Price.
Imbued with history and a sense of rigorous discipline, Traditionnelle timepieces showcase technical refinement conveyed through eminently horological characteristics.
Born out of a prestigious line of exceptional timepieces, the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle collection is a continuation of the watchmaking craftsmanship and know-how of centuries past. For over 260 years, tradition has been a living art within the Maison, where the value of transmission takes meaning.
Intimately linked, form supports function to give this collection all its noble character. With timeless elegance and contemporary stringency, only the most wilfully talented watchmakers can bring works of mechanical art to life – works unanimously recognised today and doubtlessly so in the future.
Subtly fashioned and infinitely refined, Vacheron Constantin's Traditionnelle creations are anchored in the heritage of their line. Featuring a stepped round case, a fine bezel and fluted case back, a railway minute-track, applied “Geneva baton” hour markers and dauphine-shaped hands, each of the collection’s models perfectly combines creativity with technical prowess.
Rich and timeless, this collection is made up of both sophisticated complications and simple, elegant creations. Thus, each piece conceals a Manufacture mechanical movement – whether manual or self-winding – of unrivalled precision and reliability, while still boasting a remarkable level of finishing.
Discover a spectacular demonstration of the art of watchmaking by Vacheron Constantin when you browse Traditionnelle timepieces available at J Farren-Price, 80 Castlereagh Street, Sydney.
