Vacheron Constantin Expands Its Traditionnelle Collection With A His And Hers Duo Of Classical Timepieces Dressed In Contemporary Hues Of Green

 

Counted in the realms of the top three watchmakers, Vacheron Constantin offers a portfolio of timepieces that describe the very essence of high watchmaking or haute horlogerie. The Maison’s Traditionnelle collection makes the focus on details, no matter how obscure or unseen to the naked eye a benchmark unbelievably close to perfection while upholding standards of tradition.

Embracing a contemporary allure for the freshly born additions to the Traditionnelle collection, the latest two models featuring a majestic green sunburst dial highlighted by a pink gold case are what turn engineering into sculpture. This time, the Manufacture pleases all wrists with a his and hers iteration offered as a duo of 33 mm diamond-set and 38 mm models.

Modern Aesthetic Codes Intertwined In Brand Legacy

Although there is nothing modern about a hand-wound time-only dress watch, the weight of heritage techniques and traditional execution sure make the product relevant across eras. Details like the striking contrast between the crispiest shade of green and the subtle appearance of pink gold breathe renewed life into an age-old aesthetic.

Attention to detail on the latest Traditionnelle manual-winding watches is second to none

The new Traditionnelle timepieces wear with an easy-to-guess traditional grace, one thing that Vacheron Constant is thankfully hesitant to change. Encased in beautiful proportions with the 38 and 33 mm models, the aesthetic codes of these dress timepieces resonate through the centuries. This watch has a legacy in its patrimony and beautifully upholds and elevates the same with a truly captivating allure.

The latest timepieces in the Traditionnelle collection are executed at the highest standards of dress watch excellence

The Maison’s Style and Heritage Director Christian Selmoni expresses, “The Traditionnelle collection embodies the full measure of Vacheron Constantin’s watchmaking legitimacy. These are models steeped in history and tradition, endowed with specific stylistic codes reflecting a timeless aesthetic, regardless of the mechanical complexity involved. Through this new dial color, Vacheron Constantin is pursuing its contemporary vision of the classic approach to design.”

The 38mm Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle

The larger (only when compared to the latter timepiece in 33mm) of the two timepieces gets a 38mm pink gold case with a polished bezel. Vacheron Constantin’s centuries-old design codes of traditional elegance are transposed with a unique contrast of colors set to captivate every eye.

The 38mm timepiece gets a polished bezel and runs on the Caliber 4400 AS

The 38mm Traditionnelle manual-winding watch gets Dauphine-style hands, a stepped case middle, and a railway-type minutes track punctuating the dial. It is equipped with the manual-winding in-house Caliber 4400 AS offering autonomy of 65 hours with its masterful finesse displayed for savoring through a sapphire case back.

The 33mm Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle

Feminine proportions and the jeweled elegance of a bezel set with 54 round-cut diamonds serve the 33mm Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle a bright contrast against its green sunburst dial. Parallel with its masculine pair, it gets a slim stepped profile, railway-type minutes track, and Dauphine-type hands.

The 33mm timepiece features a diamond set bezel and is powered by the Caliber 1440

The timepiece powered by the 42-hour autonomous in-house manual-winding Caliber 1440 gets a pairing of tone-on-tone alligator straps.

A Classical Legend Dons A Modern Hue

A striking and surprising alliance of tradition and contemporary aesthetics defines the latest Traditionnelle collection. The latest Traditionnelle Manual-Winding watches launched at Watches and Wonders 2023 Shanghai with green dials are perfect examples of a timeless design enveloped in a contemporary hue.
