Live from WWG25: highlights from the Vacheron Constantin new releases
The theme of the year is, of course the 270th anniversary celebrations of the founding of Vacheron Constantin. We have covered the highlights in this commentary article, and also in detail, the Ultra Grand Complication. The two signatures of the 270th anniversary in the form of a special guilloché dial, with a special Côtes Unique, all the releases come with pink, grey or blue straps and all limited editions. The guilloché is hand guilloché for the complicated watches, and stamped or engraved on the others.

Details also on Terence’s commentary. The 42.5mm case does feel a bit large on small wrists, but on my flat 7.5″ wrist is is perfect.
Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon
In 42mm case crafted from platinum. As this is part of the complicated series, the pattern on the dial, inspired by the Malteze cross is hand guilloché. A new caliber is created for this, the Cal 21 62 QP/270. We will do a full review soon.
