Symphonia Grande Sonnerie Symphony big self-willed 1860

In 2017, Vacheron Constantin is particularly focused on the development of superb watchmaking techniques, and to introduce the brand's first big self-timer watch: an extremely rare watch in the advanced watchmaking industry. This is an innovative interpretation of the ultimate watch function, easy to operate, simple and smooth lines as an example. Multiple uniquely designed safety devices to avoid possible damage to the parts due to improper operation, 727 parts of the movement will be chronologically chronograph, the chime mode (big and small self-Ming) through the bezel Adjust, but also through a crown button to activate the three asked the timekeeping function. This extraordinary work shows Vacheron Constantin's art of interpreting the highest complex functions with minimalist art.

The Symphonia Grande Sonnerie Symphony Grand Solstice 1860, at the exclusive Les Cabinotiers loft, presented at the 2017 International Geneva Haute Horlogerie, is the first large-scale watch in Vacheron Constantin's history to combine two extraordinary skills. Only a handful of watchmakers in the world can create this sophisticated and complex function that is easy and safe for the user. The new 1860 caliber, developed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin, is equipped with superior sophistication and sophisticated two-way hand-wound mechanical construction. The entire development process lasted 10 years and boasts an innovative safety system. This safety system protects the striking mechanism controlled by bezel and crown buttons from any undue human intervention. A watchmaker spent about 500 hours crafting 727 parts together. Perfect mechanical collaboration culminated in a number of rare yet highly sought after complications: big self-sufferers, small self-sufferers and interrogators. This custom platinum watch is a masterpiece of miniaturization technology, at the same time has a charming pure design. The traditional timekeeping mechanism is usually located in the bottom of the dial, and this original design through the bottom cover of a watch glitter mechanism. This Geneva Seal certified work continues the tradition of Vacheron Constantin excellence in watchmaking, inherited from the tradition of 57 complex functions, the world's most complex timepiece, reference number 57260, launched in 2015.

Vacheron Constantin: the culmination of sophisticated functions

In the "Hall of Fame" for precision technology and mechanical craftsmanship, watch chronographs can be one of the rarest and most respected features in clock complications. In addition to professional skills, but also requires a pair of ears have a tactile ability to tasting, such distinguished timepieces include: on-demand according to the time, carved, points for the third time function; and at the whole moment Big self-timer for automatic timekeeping and small self-timer for timekeeping only. Large self-timer function of the miniaturization process demanding, technical and musical process is extremely complex, run-time will consume a lot of power, it is widely considered to be the culmination of complex functions. This requires very high power and complex mechanical control, in order to hundreds of parts assembled in a watch. Due to the need for a large self-sufficient function has enough power (within 24 hours the agency will start 96 times, and 912 rings), but also to ensure pure and good chime sound, is a truly challenging challenge.

Vacheron Constantin: The real master craftsmanship

Although the Symphonia Grande Sonnerie Symphony Grande Sonnerie Les Cabinotiers Symphony Grande 1890 was the first big watch ever made by Vacheron Constantin, the brand acquired the skills required for this complex function in the 18th and 19th centuries, Ming pocket watch (1827) and the big self-timer pocket watch (1908). Vacheron Constantin has been an industry leader in this area since the mid-1800s and is dedicated to combining timekeeping with other complex functions such as timekeeping or astronomy. Into the 20th century, the watch was born and the rapid rise in the market, Vacheron Constantin also timely application of its watchmaking skills on the watch, for example: the launch of the 1755 ultra-thin three movements in 1991, the brand by 2005 250 Anniversary of the world's most complex double-sided timepieces, in addition to having three questions also has 15 other complex functions, as well as launched in 2013 the world's slimmest third movement 1731.

This large self-evident complex functions not only requires years of professional experience accumulated in the research, but also need to constantly develop and adjust. Since the birth of the first watch in 1992, only a handful of independent manufacturers and independent watchmakers have mastered this highly demanding skill in mechanical fabrication and miniaturization.

Vacheron Constantin's courage to challenge this new work, the big self-timer, small self-timer and mechanical repeater is mounted on a diameter of only 37 millimeters, the thickness of only 9.1 millimeters of movement space, which is a real art of watchmaking works.

Vacheron Constantin: superb mechanical technology

This unique Les Cabinotiers loft artisan, Symphonia Grande Sonnerie Symphony Grande Arnold 1860, certified by the Geneva Seal, marks a new level of craftsmanship and craftsmanship that exemplifies the brand's mastery of mechanical complexity, dynamics and acoustics.

The 1860 caliber, developed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin itself, is a bi-directional hand-wound mechanical movement composed of 727 parts and completely hand-tuned, decorated and assembled. This requires an experienced watchmaker to spend 500 hours of patient production. Hours, minutes, small seconds, big buzz, small buzz and three questions ... This integrated structure means that the striking mechanism is directly connected to the hour and minute functions, the movement must be considered as a whole and needs to be extremely large Powered to produce 96 rings per day, big self-timer function. Therefore, this watch is equipped with two clockwork boxes, one responsible for the operation of the movement, and the other is responsible for timekeeping agencies, can provide 72 hours power reserve and 20 hours big self-timer mode power reserve.

Based on its innovative design concept, its sophisticated mechanical architecture is outstanding in a variety of ways, including three time-ticking modes - big self-timer, small self-timer and mute - through an original design never seen before : By rotating the bezel 30 degrees, there is a dial on the bezel pointing to the hourglass logo engraved on the side of the case - PS, GS and SIL. The third question function is activated by the crown button at 3 o'clock. Knurling large crown clockwise for the movement of the chain, counterclockwise rotation can be added for the timekeeping agency.

Another key feature of the movement is the elimination of "phantom quarters", a manifestation of the brand's quest for harmony and regularity in the timing sound. The chime sounds are produced by striking a single set of gongs by two hammers. Normally, a brief pause between hours and minutes is called a "ghost minute". Whether the timepiece is the whole hour, the whole hour or the minute, the interval between each ringing is the same, the timekeeping rule is smooth and consistent.

In addition, the striking mechanism is equipped with a non-trailing "whimsical" jumper-spring to ensure precise timing of the whole hour and hour. This spontaneous mechanism activates only when the chronograph sounds, saving motivation and improving the accuracy of the movement.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that the 1860 movement of the rack, trigger shaft and snail wheel, which in the conventional design is located below the dial parts, thanks to the unique structure of this movement can be transparent sapphire crystal Table bottom cover a glimpse of. These sophisticated, acoustical and kinetic-related features have created this sophisticated movement. Make this movement unique, extraordinary complexity.

Vacheron Constantin: simple, safe and easy to use

The big self-timer is unique because its extremely complex mechanism is made up of hundreds of precision components. Therefore, it is not only necessary for the wearer to acquire certain knowledge when using but also to be careful and careful. Vacheron Constantin has developed a number of original safety systems in order to make this advanced and complex function more simple and easy to use. They ensure the proper operation of different timepiece functions while ensuring they are protected from human error. When setting the time, it is impossible to ring the time signal (either automatically or on-demand). By the same token, during the timekeeping - whether three questions or "automatic" timekeeping - the time settings are locked out before the time is up. When a timekeeping function is in progress, other timekeeping functions will not be activated. Therefore, if the mode is switched during the timekeeping, the timekeeping mode locking device ensures that the mode is switched after the timekeeping is completed. Finally, if the clockwork is not strong enough to support a complete stopwatch, the timekeeping mechanism will not start, either automatically or on demand.

Vacheron Constantin: simple and elegant custom

This is a pursuit of simple design of the timepiece. The sheer aesthetics concept highlights the complexity of the mechanical mechanism. The movement is housed in a 45-mm diameter 18-carat white gold case with custom designs on the outside of the case. The back of the case is engraved with the words "Pièce Unique" (unique watch), the case is exquisitely carved with stripes and the knurled pattern on the crown echo each other. Inspired by the brand's Antiques Timepieces pocket watch, the silver dial in 18K white gold exudes a touch of understated, creamy, round sand or scroll embellishments, bar-shaped hour markers and pointers in platinum, Oxidation of the two indicators.

Small seconds at 7 o'clock, 5 o'clock position for the power reserve indicator, 2 o'clock position power reserve time through a snake pointer, these combinations create a harmonious and generous effect and unique modern style. Vacheron Constantin's loft artisans also customize case and dial for this one-of-a-kind design to showcase the brand's excellence in craftsmanship and innovation, as well as Geneva watchmakers whose brands have been called "loft artisans" since the 18th century Tradition of classic design. The brand always insisted excellent watchmaking skills, personalized and exclusive production of the spirit.
