Vacheron Constanin Les Cabinotiers Dual Moon Grand Complication

With its time-related and astronomical complications regulated by a tourbillon and completed by a minute repeater, the manual-winding 2755 TMRCCQP calibre powering this watch is a masterpiece of complexity with its 774 components. Representing one of watchmaking’s most sophisticated grand complications, this white gold single-piece edition displays its indications in a perfectly legible manner. Stemming from an aesthetic quest dedicating elegance and purity of style to the service of technical sophistication, this timepiece is notably distinguished by the Maison’s characteristic retrograde function as well as by the refined finishes highlighting the double moon phase display that is the key feature of this watch.

The initial intention behind the Les Cabinotiers Dual moon Grand Complication watch was to pay an original tribute to the Moon. Often relegated to the background, the moon display is now very much in the forefront on this model, asserting its striking presence both by its colour code and by its size. As the idea was also to offer a vision of the Earth's satellite as it appears in the northern and southern hemispheres, the central moon phase indication, already a rarity in the watchmaking world, is therefore characterized by a double display. This complication, already featured in the Les Cabinotiers Tourbillon armillary perpetual calendar – Planetaria watch, makes a strong statement in this highly technical musical timepiece with an astronomical vocation and 11 complications.
