An innovative architecture to enhance performance |
Vacheron Constantin presents the new self-winding ultra-thin Calibre 2550, the culmination of 7 years of development. This innovative movement, which combines a micro-rotor, a suspended double barrel, and a compact single-level gear train, offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve and a thickness of just 2.4 mm. The Calibre 2550 makes its debut in a new 39.5mm-diameter watch in 950 platinum: the Overseas Self‑Winding Ultra‑Thin. |
