LES CABINOTIERS – LA QUÊTE

A New Series of Les Cabinotiers Watches Named 'La Quête' in Honour of the Maison's 270th Anniversary

Vacheron Constantin celebrates its 270th anniversary and its enduring quest for excellence with a new series of Les Cabinotiers watches entitled 'La Quête', which pays tribute to astronomy and the odysseys of ancient times. Representing significant technical and aesthetic challenges, these watches highlight Vacheron Constantin's expertise in the creation of grand complication watches enhanced by the artistic crafts.

Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon Myth of the Pleiades

The Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon – Myth of the Pleiades watch refers to the 'Seven Sisters' of Greek mythology, which were transformed into stars in the constellation of Taurus and served as a vital navigation point for sailors in ancient times. These themes are represented by intricate hand-engraving on the case sides. The watch is equipped with Calibre 1990, a manufacture movement protected by four patents and incorporating a bi-axial tourbillon and bi-retrograde time indications.

Les Cabinotiers Cosmica Duo Grand Complication

The Cosmica Duo – Grand Complication, a single-piece edition, showcases two worlds thanks to an ingenious reversibility system: one dial transports observers to the stars, while the other immerses them in the kinetic artistry of the new Calibre 2756-B1. Astronomical functions are the main focus of this grand complication watch, which also incorporates a minute repeater and a tourbillon.

Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication High Jewellery Moon Dust

The Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication High Jewellery – Moon Dust watch illustrates this vision. Incorporating 16 complications and crafted in 18K white gold, engraved and guilloché by hand and set with diamonds, it offers a poetic interpretation of a journey from Earth to the Moon, celebrating the link between watchmaking artistry and celestial exploration.

Les Cabinotiers Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication

The Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication - Homage to Ptolemy and - Homage to Copernicus, are powered by the Manufacture movement Calibre 3600, first presented in 2017 in the Les Cabinotiers Celestia watch. Five years in development, the movement comprises 514 finely adjusted and meticulously decorated components and incorporates 23 astronomical complications. The double-sided calibre represents not only a significant technical achievement but also, with a thickness of only 8.7 mm, a notable feat of miniaturisation.

Les Cabinotiers Homage to Epic Warriors Minute Repeater

The Homage to Epic Warriors Minute Repeater watches celebrate great heroes of history and mythology, Alexander the Great, Antar (Antarah ibn Shaddad), Genghis Khan and Sasaki Moritsuna, while showcasing the craftsmanship cultivated since the Maison's very beginning. On each of the 18K 2N yellow gold dials, the hero of the piece is miniature painted in grand feu enamel against a background representing the landscape in which he performed his great deeds, hand-engraved with matt and shiny finishes.

Les Cabinotiers The Labours of Heracles

Les Cabinotiers The Labours of Heracles watches pay homage to the eponymous Greco-Roman demi-god, each illustrating one of the 12 legendary tasks that he performed in his quest for redemption. Miniature works of art, the two-level white gold dials showcase the beauty of grand feu enamel, miniature painting and micro-sculpture. Set in a 40mm white gold case, Calibre 1120 AT provides a fascinating and original time display, with wandering hours acting as a hand to indicate the minutes on a fixed scale.
