Housing the three most prestigious and classic high complications from the world of Haute Horlogerie, tourbillon, minute repeater, and perpetual calendar, the quintessence of the art of watchmaking, Traditionnelle Calibre 2755 is the ultimate expression of Vacheron Constantin’s horological art and craftsmanship. In keeping with the classic Calibre 2755 design, this Hong Kong & Macau limited edition is interpreted with a silvered opaline dial with blue coloured counters and a baguette cut diamond set bezel on its 18K white gold case of 44 mm in diameter -- a generous dimension perpetuating its previous models to keep the 602 components in place to power all the functions, as well as to give the minute repeater a remarkable resonance, which is optimised by the ingenious use of a stud linking the case to the striking mechanism.

The Ultimate Expression of Horological Art & Craftsmanship

At its heart beats the legendary calibre 2755, the Traditionnelle Calibre 2755 is a truly exceptional model: housing three extreme complications from the world of haute horlogerie, tourbillon, minute repeater, and perpetual calendar, this quintessence of the art of watchmaking is the most accomplished demonstration of Vacheron Constantin’s horological art and craftsmanship. Comprising 602 components, it powers the tourbillon, the minute repeater, the hours and minutes, the tourbillon seconds hand, the perpetual calendar with its day, month, date and leap year indications as well as the power reserve display on a bridge on the back of the movement. The minute repeater is a blend of horological technology and romanticism that transforms time into music; besides eliminating the effects of gravity, the tourbillon displays the charm of a diaphanous mechanism revealing the heart of the watch; the perpetual calendar, on the other hand, with its “memory of time to come”, follows the changes in the Gregorian calendar with no other operation necessary than adjusting the date every 100 years.

Always eager to push back the technical limits and concerned about making this multi-complication timepiece easier to use, Vacheron Constantin’s engineers and master watchmakers developed a centripetal speed-regulator in the striking-mechanism for the Traditionnelle Calibre 2755. This original device eliminates the noise interference normally experienced with pallet systems. What is more, special care has been taken to ensure that all the functions are clearly legible. Finally, extra-large counters and the subtle decent ring of the hour and minute hands have further improved legibility while highlighting the tourbillon cage.

Traditionnelle Calibre 2755’s case has been carefully designed and manufactured -- and the Hong Kong & Macau limited edition is imbued with a new aesthetics: it is updated with a silvered opaline dial with blue coloured counters and a baguette cut diamond set bezel of approx. 3.0 carats on a 18K white gold case, matched with a black Mississippiensis alligator leather strap with alligator inner shell, and a baguette cut diamond set 18K white gold folding clasp of approx. 0.8 carats. Its generous dimensions – 44 mm in diameter – give the minute repeater a remarkable resonance, which is optimised by the ingenious use of a stud linking the case to the striking mechanism.

The calibre 2755 manual-winding mechanical movement beats at 18,000 vibrations an hour and has a power reserve of approximately 58 hours, with the power reserve indication on display at the back of the movement. It is distinguished by the meticulous chamfering work of its bridges, with their Côtes de Genève decoration, and the circular graining of the plate. It is stamped with the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva by meeting all the demanding criteria of this symbol of durability and horlogical perfection.

Minute Repeater, Tourbillon and Perpetual Calendar: bringing these three extreme complications together in one timepiece represents a rarely accomplished exercise in style and expertise. Due to its complexity, the Traditionnelle Calibre 2755 can only be produced in a very limited series and the Hong Kong & Macau limited edition is only available in 3 pieces.
