Vacheron Constantin has been known for its fine craftsmanship and superlative complications since its founding in 1755. In recent years, its sporty Overseas collection has attracted collectors thanks to the clean design. Its new launch, the blue-dial Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin, is a technical feat, combining a perpetual calendar function within a super-slim caliber. To build an ultra-thin watch means that all of the components must also be super thin without compromising strength. That, coupled with the fact that the perpetual calendar requires so many extra parts, makes this accomplishment remarkable. The 276-part mechanical, self-winding movement is just over 4mm thick, so the finished watch measures just 8.1mm. With luminescent hands and markers, reading the calendar information at a glance - even in the dark - is easy.

To date, the company still strives to achieve the best artistry, agility and dependability, making its watches interactive and robust in a bid to both fascinate and serve its wearer.The limitlessness of the brand is reflected by the astrological inspiration of its collections. Even from its Traditionnelle line, the sculpted dragons and birds found on the watch surface prance around an eye-catching sphere of linear and triangular lines that allude to the horoscopic symbol. Similarly celestial, the Fistysix and Égérie collections depict the versatility of time through sun and moon phase displays and feature a complex, self-winding mechanism.
