VACHERON CONSTANTIN UNVEILS LES CABINOTIERS ARMILLARY TOURBILLON DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE ROLLS-ROYCE AMETHYST DROPTAIL
Vacheron Constantin, the luxury Swiss watchmaking Maison with nearly 270 years of expertise and continuous history, is delighted to unveil a unique exclusive timepiece designed to fit into the dashboard of an exquisite Rolls-Royce Coachbuild commission – the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail.
The dashboard watch is a one-of-a-kind timepiece that combines the beauty and precision of Vacheron Constantin along with the luxurious craftsmanship of Rolls-Royce, which was created for a client with a passion for watchmaking and coach-built motor cars . Equipped with a bi-axial tourbillon and double retrograde display, the single-edition Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon is housed in a secure, removable holder custom- designed by Vacheron Constantin engineers to fit into the fascia of the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail. It features the Calibre 1990, a hand-wound in-house complication movement with a bi-retrograde display and an armillary tourbillon. The holders’ slightly curved outer frame is made of polished steel, with a bevelled steel inner frame laser-textured with a black PVD coating.
The watch is finished in a mauve color that matches the interior of the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail. The sapphire dial reveals the full beauty of the movement, including a mainplate with a NAC galvanic coating with a circular satin finish. On the dial side, the bridges are sharply cut, hand-bevelled and adorned with a Côtes de Genève pattern.
The watch is presented in a display case made of the same Calamander Light open pore wood and Amethyst leather used for the interior of the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail.
In recognition of their shared passion for precision, attention to detail, expert craftsmanship and providing the highest level of personalized luxury. Vacheron Constantin has created its first contemporary timepiece for the automotive world. This is a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence and craftsmanship.
