Press Release: Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle World Time


An eloquent expression of Geneva’s most demanding Fine Watchmaking traditions, the 
Traditionnelle collection welcomes an exclusive version of the famous Vacheron Constantin
world time model presented in 2011. Simultaneously displaying 37 of the world’s time zones, this
travel watch with a three‐part dial is adorned with a hand‐enamelled gold world map. Depicted in
subtly graded shades of blue, the seas and continents composed a miniature work resulting from
patient and meticulous craftsmanship and brimming with graphic details and depth effects. A blend
of artisanal refinement and perfect technical mastery, the new Traditionnelle world time is
distinguished by its user friendliness enhanced by the crown‐operated activation of all functions.
This Hallmark of Geneva certified model appears attired in precious platinum for a 10‐piece limited
edition.

Sinn Basel 2017: 103 St Sa E pilot chronograph

PRESS RELEASE

103 St Sa E- The traditional pilot chronograph.

The classic pilot watches in series 103 are amongst the most traditional watches to be developed by our company. Their aesthetic design was and remains style-defining.

The 300-piece limited-edition 103 St Sa E is reminiscent of historical pilot watches with its luminous ivory-coloured coating on the hands, numerals and indices. Although classic in appearance, this SINN watch is every bit contemporary thanks to its high-tech features. For example, the 103 St Sa E has a captive pilot’s bezel with minute ratcheting, which is securely attached to the polished stainless-steel case. It is resistant to low pressure and can withstand pressures of up to 20 bar. The crystal and transparent back are made of curved sapphire crystal glass.
