The Case:
Crafted in robust yet refined stainless steel, the 40mm case strikes the perfect balance between modern versatility and vintage-inspired design cues.

This dial is as mesmerizing as it is practical, promising to be a conversation starter for years to come.

Beautifully decorated with the Geneva Seal hallmark, its intricate finishing and precision engineering highlight the maison’s 250+ years of expertise. Watching the movement in action through the crystal back is a joy in itself, a reminder of the meticulous care that defines Vacheron Constantin.
