A century has passed since Vacheron Constantin presented its first Chronomètre Royal pocket-watch in 1907. Its sturdiness, reliability and precision earned it legendary renown and were a delight for devotees living in extreme climates hitherto not conducive to the smooth running of timepieces. To celebrate this historical milestone and in tribute to this model so emblematic of the Geneva Manufacture and the values it conveys, Vacheron Constantin now presents a new Chronomètre Royal 1907 within its "Historiques" line.
Created in the spirit of the era and highlighting the work of skilled artisans, the Chronomètre Royal 1907 - issued this year in a limited edition of 100 exclusive watches - is distinguished in particular by its classically inspired case and its Grand Feu enamelled dial crafted in harmony with the finest watchmaking traditions.
Moreover, it also houses a new proprietary self-winding movement, Calibre 2460 SCC, equipped with a stop seconds mechanism and bearing double certification, respectively granted by the Hallmark of Geneva governing authorities and the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
With this Chronomètre Royal 1907, Vacheron Constantin is returning to its roots while combining creativity with historical exactitude. This rare model is quite clearly destined for connoisseurs and collectors, representing the perfect expression of the classic Haute Horlogerie values embodied by Vacheron Constantin for over 250 years.
Born of a determination to highlight the wealth of the Vacheron Constantin heritage, the "Historiques" line aims to revive the models symbolising the spirit and the know-how of the brand through contemporary interpretations of this legendary watches. As a registered Vacheron Constantin trademark since 1907, the Chronomètre Royal model is experiencing a genuine rebirth in 2007.
