Vacheron Constantin's impressive Maître Cabinotier Retrograde Armillary Tourbillon
For those who may have missed the press release in News Central, please check it out here:
On the technical side, I'm happy to see Vacheron Constantin starting to employ advanced materials in its movement (silicon for the escape wheel and lever) and wonder if the brand will continue to broaden the applications for such materials in the future and in more conventional movements.
In terms of the aesthetics, I am not as keen. While the mechanism controlling the double retrograding time display is fascinating, I'd rather it be hidden behind a more traditional dial (while still leaving a view of the armillary tourbillon).
