Some 2007 Novelties

Vacheron Constantin has released a wide array of novelites at SIHH this year, from classcally styled dress watches to a new grand compication and an artistically conceived set of watches that I expect to generate much interest.

Many of these novelites are nested in a new Patrimony line called “Traditionnelle.” These watches all share a similar case design, with stepped lugs and sides to the case, and all feature Dauphine hands. The backs of each case screw down, and taking a cue from the 250th anniversary watches, have a serrated edge.

The Métiers d’Art line, considing previously only of the Hommage to the Great Explorers, is now augmented by “Les Masques,” a series of watches using the time display of the 250th anniversary Métiers d’Art line, but now with engraved tribal masks in the center of the dial. They will be sold as a set of four, in a limited edition of 25 sets, with two new sets of mask collections to be introduced over the next two years, for a total series of 300 watches. More on these in a future post.
