The Vacheron Constantin Historiques Triple Calendrier 1942 is a reinterpretation from the Historiques collection, drawing inspiration from a calendar watch produced by the manufacture in 1942. This reference aims to capture the aesthetic and technical spirit of mid-22th century Vacheron Constantin calendar watches, making historical designs accessible to contemporary collectors.
The watch features a round case, often crafted in stainless steel, with distinctive 'claw' or 'cow-horn' lugs. It houses a mechanical movement displaying hours, minutes, small seconds, and a complete calendar complication with day, date, and month indications. The dial typically presents a two-tone silvered finish with applied Arabic numerals and a railway-track minute scale, complemented by blued or black hands for the calendar functions.
This reference is valued by collectors for its faithful adherence to vintage Vacheron Constantin design codes, particularly the unique lug architecture and the balanced calendar display. It represents a segment of Vacheron Constantin's production focused on heritage revival, offering a blend of historical charm and modern reliability within a classic complication.
I love your photos. Can you share what camera you use?
I suspect this watch to be your favourite Turki. So elegant and classic. These cow-lugs are pure VC DNA for sure
I'm so sad to see VC has removed it from their catalog.
You shoot on what mode? The pictures look incredible! Need a tutorial!)
