Vacheron Constantin: Pre-Watches and Wonders 2015.

Celebrating a heritage forged by 260 years of uninterrupted expertise and innovation, Manufacture Vacheron Constantin welcomes an exclusive new chronograph inspired by an iconic wristwatch developed by the Manufacture in 1955. Named Cornes de vache 1955 because of its distinctively-shaped ‘cow-horn’ lugs, it embodies a singular combination of bold design and absolute technicality. 

Featuring a central complication in line with the heritage of the Geneva-base Manufacture, the Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 is powered by hand-wound Caliber 1142, housed in a 38.5 mm diameter platinum case. 

This timepiece bearing the Hallmark of Geneva, is a contemporary interpretation of the first water-resistant and anti-magnetic chronograph presented by Vacheron Constantin 60 years ago. This now legendary timepiece symbolises the ancestral art of the Maison in creating high-end chronographs.
