On the SIHH 2019 the Geneva luxury watch brand Vacheron Constantin launched three models, which are part of the newly interpreted ‘Patrimony collection’. The design of the models is as gentle as the one of the first models of the line from the 1950s. Especially lovers of minimalism should be convinced.

Patrimony Manual-winding, hours and minutes, calibre 1400

The first of the three new models, the Patrimony Majestic Blue Manual Winding (Ref. 81180/000R-B518) has a skinny 6.79 mm high case. Its curving hands move across the domed dial, embracing their own form. The applied hour-markers on the dial are completed with cone-shaped quarter-hour-markers and elegant signature pearl minute-markers.

The watch of the ‘Patrimony line’ is designed in the colour blue. By using sunburst finishes on the blue dial, it got a slightly shimmering surface. On the pin-buckle of the also blue alligator leather strap the Vacheron Constantin emblem is visible. Other than that the model offers the possibility of personalizing the watches caseback, so that the watch can become an emotional companion to its owner.

The caliber 1400 is manufactured out of 98 finely decorated pieces and is located inside a space merely mere 2.6 mm thick. The oscillating rate of the model is 28,800 vibration an hour, which is a frequency of about 4 Hz. The model has a power reserve of 40 hours.

For those, who prefer an automatic mechanism, Vacheron Constantin offers a second model, the Patrimony Majestic Blue Self-Winding (Ref.85180/000R-B515)  in the same blue colour, which indicates hours, minutes and seconds, as well as a date window.

The 196 individual pieces of the caliber 2450 Q6, including a 22K gold oscillating weight, can be seen through the transparent caseback. The alligator leather strap of the model und its pin buckle are inspired by the design of the 1950’s models.
