Vacheron Constantin launches overseas tourbillon skeleton
Reimagining the particular understated tourbillon sports enjoy.
The secrets in a Vacheron Constantin athletics watch, the overseas tourbillon is slim, understated and also great value for money. Now it offers undergone a complete makeover.
Gone is the excess steel of the dial and links, creating a new overseas tourbillon skeleton. Titanium, available in a couple of metals, is particularly attractive since it is a metal rarely employed by haute horlogerie watchmakers.
Though aesthetically diametrically opposed, the Skeleton can be as beautiful as a standard international tourbillon. In terms of finishing, looks and watchmaking, the tourbillon skeleton is at the top involving its class not only in the luxurious sports category, but also inside the rest of the brand's products.
One reason is the well-proportioned case, which is 42. 5mm wide and only 10. 39mm high. This results in sophisticated, flat and generous dimensions that define the most desirable high-class sports watches. These symmetries give the watch a cool aesthetic, which is further increased by the black skeleton motion. By comparison, the base Overseas type is smaller in dimension but slightly thicker.
The movement inside of is known for balancing straightforwardness and complexity, which is ordinarily a challenge for skeleton motions. In comparison, I found the latest Noble Oak skeleton tourbillon to get too subtle, and the GENERAL PRACTITIONER Laureato skeleton tourbillon also clean.
Ti models are about 25% more expensive than steel types. While affordability is comparative, the tourbillon skeleton symbolizes pretty good value as there are number of comparables at this price point. Inside the brand's own list, skeleton watches are mostly far more expensive.
This timepiece is powered by california. 2169 SQ, cal-based movements. 2160 is found in the standard unit. as a derivative of california. 2160, the movement wil attract due to the tourbillon bridges obvious on the front and backside.
Thoughtful particulars are incorporated into the activity, such as the Maltese cross-shaped tourbillon cage and the compass rose-shaped barrel cover.
A key but underrated characteristic is the perimeter-winding rotor created from a narrow band connected with 22k gold. It sways around the circumference of the mobility so as not to obstruct the lovely view.
Like additional skeleton movements of the brand, it truly is impeccably crafted. Take the bevel cut of the bridge, which can be done in the traditional way together with pith wood. This technique permits a finer mirror finish off and curvature on the beveled edge.
