Vacheron Constantin - Exclusivity in Everything
As the result, watch connoisseurs are given the joy to listen to the purest possible sound that is improved by the Les Cabinotiers Skeleton's sapphire crystal case back and dial. The Vacheron Constantin caliber 1755 has two tones. The lower pitch is for the hours, the higher one for the minutes. The high and low pitch sounds for the quarter-hour.Vacheron Constantin has one more reason to be especially proud by presenting its Les Cabinotiers Skeleton Minute Repeater - the brand values the tradition of developing beautiful platinum watches.Initially, the brand's watchmakers took time to disassemble a 1940s wristwatch. To work up the concept of a new Minute Repeater, they had to draw up plans, buy necessary equipment. The idea of a new Minute Repeater could be realized just by a solidary team of the most skillful and passionate watchmakers. The team came through four years of research and hard, yet enjoyable work. As a result, in 1993 Vacheron Constantin was proud to present the first piece, the caliber 1755. The choice of 1755 is obvious - the watchmakers honored the year of the company's foundation. Les Cabinotiers Skeleton Minute Repeater watch has been equipped with this legendary caliber.The movement comprises more than 330 parts, while it is just about 3.30 mm thick, as it has already been mentioned - it is the slimmest in the world. The process of developing such a movement naturally consists of numerous stages, so each wonder takes not less than 320 hours to be created. Each part of the mechanism and case is handcrafted.
