One of the secrets of good watch design is how something almost bafflingly complex can be made simple and elegant. That’s exactly what this new perpetual calendar timepiece from Vacheron Constantin achieves.
It’s called the Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin and it’s available in three different versions. All three have a compact, 36.5mm case that’s available in 18K pink gold or 18K white gold, with the latter offered with or without a diamond-set bezel. That’s an important aspect of this new model, since it’s the first time the Traditionnelle has been made available without a diamond bezel – and thus the watch becomes more of a unisex piece than ever before.
