Vacheron Constantin FIFTYSIX self-winding 

SIHH 2018: The Vacheron Constantin FIFTYSIX collection

Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755, Geneva’s oldest watch Manufacture, is heralding a new chapter in its history with its FIFTYSIX collection. 

FIFTYSIX … Modern interpretation of the iconic reference 6073, launched in 1956 and inspired by the Maltese cross 

FIFTYSIX represents an important new step as this original line, inspired by a historical Vacheron Constantin watch dating from 1956.   

FIFTYSIX … The golden age of round timepieces, the 1950s represented the pinnacle of aesthetic refinement and remain an incomparable territory begging to be explored.

FIFTYSIX … There is a definite sense of kinship – in spirit as well as in substance – between the 6073 model presented in 1956 and its interpretation in 2018.

FIFTYSIX … For the first time in its history, Vacheron Constantin has decided to offer a classic collection both in gold and in steel, while treating the latter material according to the same high aesthetic standards as the precious metal.  

FIFTYSIX … The collection presented at the SIHH 2018 comprises three 40 mm diameter models – Date / Day of the week, date, power-reserve indicator / Complete calendar with precision moon phase – available in various steel or gold versions.

It meets the horological hurdle of being a practical wristwatch for traveling. 

So far I did not have the watch in my hands, I only got the technical description of the new developed calibre and these pictures …

What is a practical wristwatch for traveling? 

I invite you to read this short presentation of the Overseas Dual Time …

Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH)

Another four brands join the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in 2018

Good news from Geneva! The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie continues to grow, while the number of exhibitors at Baselworld has been dramatically declining. The central aisles of the SIHH in Geneva are extended for the arrival of Hermès, while a bigger Carré des Horlogers makes room for DeWitt, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud and Romain Gauthier.
