Surprisingly thin, the Repetition skeleton minutes Rose Gold
Cabinotiers by Vacheron Constantin is a work of pure watchmaking art.
Born from meticulous artisanal work, and exceptional know-how, the
Repetition minutes skeleton Cabinotiers comprises an invaluable signed
Vacheron Constantin movement, delicately worked and then encased in
rose gold.<br><br>The Repetition minutes is without doubt one of the
highest achievements in horology. Each component of the open-worked
movement is decorated and engraved. The extremely thin sapphire dial
adds to the transparency and each part contributes to the overall
enchantment.<br><br>The art of squelettage: Providing an overall
picture of mechanical perfection, a wrist watch skeleton makes it
possible to admire the totality of its complications. The technical
constraints related to the miniaturization are immense, and few
watchmaking houses can hope to realize skeletonized pieces.<br><br>The
watch-making craftsmen of Vacheron Constantin dedicate their full
attention to the completion and decoration of their watch skeletons.
Even a hardly visible screw is adjusted and polished by
hand.<br><br>The art of the repetition minutes: Despite the technical
know-how of the watch industry, the realization of a repetition
minutes remains a great challenge to the watchmaker. Calling upon
centuries of experimentation and Genevese artisanal traditions, the
Repetition skeleton minutes constitutes one dazzling demonstration of
watchmaking art.<br><br>At the end of the 80s, Vacheron Constantin
envisaged a new Repetition minutes. Its watchmaking Masters imagined a
new realization. Drawing up the plans, getting the necessary tools,
they gathered a team of specialists likely to conclude such an
undertaking. After four years of patient research, the House could
eventually reveal its first piece, the Caliber 1755, released in 1993.
It is the ultimate example of this caliber which animates the
Repetition skeleton minutes Cabinotiers.<br><br>In spite of the more
than 330 parts, the movement of the Repetition measures just 3.30 mm
thick. The manufacturing process extends over at least 320
hours.<br><br>A work of art in its own right, each of the partsthat
make up the mechanism and case are handcrafted. The result is an
instrumentwith the purest possible sound, a sound enhanced by the
sapphire crystal of its case back and dial. Press lightly, and its two
gongs will strike the hours,quarters and minutes. This hand-wound
mechanical watch is fitted with an 'all-or-nothing' mechanism; if the
slide on the side of the case is not fully depressed, the mechanism is
not fully armed and so the gongs will remain silent hence, 'all-or-
nothing'. In Minute Repeaters that are not equipped with this device,
the chimes will be heard even when the slide is not sufficiently
depressed but the number ofstrikes will be fewer than the actual time.
This intelligent mechanism, invented in 1720, ensures the striking
mechanism functions to the utmost accuracy.<br><br>The Vacheron
Constantin caliber 1755 possesses two tones: the lower pitch marks the
hours, the higher pitch the minutes, while an alternating high and low
pitch chimes the quarter-hour. Each gong is patiently tuned by hand,
while the slightest modification to the mechanism can influence the
sonority of the watch.<br><br>Not only must the watchmaker demonstrate
an acute musical ear, but the two gongs must be perfectlyprecise: the
chimes indicating four hours, three-quarters and four minutes must not
exceed seven to eight seconds! It is clearly understandable why such
perfection is a collector's dream. <br> Vacheron traces its history
back to 1755 when Jean-Marc Vacheron established his watchmaking firm
in Geneva. Francois Constantin joined in 1819 creating Vacheron &
Constantin. In 1974, Vacheron & Constantin officially dropped the
ampersand from the company name, although its wristwatches had already
engraved with the newer title since the 1950s. Among its multitude of
watchmaking firsts, Vacheron Constantin invented the winding crown.
Today, Vacheron Constantin manufactures superb complications and
exquisite wristwatches coveted by even the most discerning collector.
