TRADITIONNELLE Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar 42 Platinum (2019)

Designed and conceived with the user in mind, the Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar was originally launched in 2019. Equipped with a movement featuring two regulating frequencies – a high-frequency Active mode (5 Hz) and a low-frequency Standby mode (1.2 Hz) – and based on two gear trains powered by a series of coaxial barrels, this patented innovation now allows the movement's autonomy to be extended up to a remarkable 70 days without any loss of timekeeping accuracy.

This 70-day power reserve is achieved through an optimisation of Calibre 3610 QP, which has resulted in a 5-day gain.  A new openworked dial design accentuates its refined character and innovative spirit.

The perpetual calendar is a noble watchmaking complication that fulfils its promise provided the movement is constantly wound. It is distinguished by a cam mechanism that enables the watch's calibre to strictly follow the specifics of the Gregorian calendar until 2100 without intervention. The calibre's power reserve is therefore of paramount importance in the absence of an automated watch-winding device.

With Calibre 3610 QP, the watchmakers and engineers at Vacheron Constantin have addressed this issue from the user's perspective, with the aim of extending the autonomy of a perpetual calendar movement without compromising its operation and precision when the watch is not being worn. This gives full meaning to the term 'perpetual' in the name of this complication.

The Twin Beat® System

In 👉2019, following four years of research and development, the design of a dual-frequency system integrated into the 3610 QP calibre—one frequency for the wearer's active phases and the other for the watch's resting phases—marked a new milestone in power reserve management and, by extension, in the practicality of such a complication.

TRADITIONNELLE Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar 42 Platinum (2019)

The movement is equipped with two independent gear trains, powered by a series-connected coaxial double barrel. The first, featuring a high-frequency regulation (5 Hz – 36,000 vibrations per hour), ensures that the watch operates with precision in 'Active' mode, whilst the second, with a low frequency (1.2 Hz – 8,640 vph), reduces energy consumption during the 'Standby' phase.

One of the challenges of this system was to determine how much it would be possible to slow down the oscillation rate of the low-frequency regulator to ensure the longest possible power reserve, without compromising the calibre's accuracy. With a rate of 1.2 Hz, the watchmakers and engineers at Vacheron Constantin found a balanced compromise, giving Calibre 3610 QP a power reserve of more than two months in 'Standby' mode, with a constant amplitude throughout the duration. In “Active” mode, the calibre boasts a four-day power reserve.

To enhance ease of use, Vacheron Constantin's engineers developed a push-button-operated switching system set in the case-side at 8 o'clock, with a mode indicator displayed by a hand on the dial. This patented system maintains the display of the time and calendar information during the transition between high-frequency Active mode (5 Hz) and low-frequency Standby mode (1.2 Hz), switching instantly from high to low, and vice versa. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

By stopping one balance wheel to start the other, this causes no interruption in the calibre's energy chain, thus ensuring a constant display of the time and calendar indications.

The calibre's power reserve is extended by 5 days in Standby mode

Comprising 480 components and measuring just 6 mm thick, the hand-wound Calibre 3610QP has undergone further technical developments since 2019, particularly in relation to its three differentials.  To ensure smooth reading of the hours and minutes, a first differential facilitates the transition between the two gear trains.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

A second differential is specifically designed to split the energy from the mainspring, channelling it exclusively to the 1.2 Hz gear train, which then powers the 1.2 Hz balance wheel. This balance wheel for Standby mode, recognisable by its larger diameter, is fitted with a hairspring adapted to its rate. Specially developed for this movement, its minuscule thickness of 0.015 mm is far thinner than a human hair.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The third differential is used to indicate the power reserves. As energy storage is provided by a double barrel fitted with two springs, this construction allows, in addition to efficient energy distribution, the display of both power reserves by a single hand in a single counter featuring two scales – set at 12 o'clock on the dial.

To increase the power reserve of Calibre 3610 QP, further research focused on the instantaneously jumping perpetual calendar indications. Generally, this type of display affects the amplitude of the balance wheel, leading to a loss of precision. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

To address this, Vacheron Constantin's watchmakers and engineers developed a new double-gear spring-winding mechanism. Operating on a principle similar to that of the first version of the Traditionnelle Twin Beat, this patented system is designed to maximise energy-efficiency. Indeed, it requires four times less torque than conventional instant-jump mechanisms, making the date change much less energy-intensive. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

It is this optimisation, together with the refinement of the system as a whole – particularly in 1.2 Hz mode – that has enabled the power reserve to be increased by 5 days.

A contemporary aesthetic with an open-worked dial

The Twin Beat remains true to the design codes of the Traditionnelle collection, with the rounded shape of its case, slim bezel and fluted caseback. With a diameter of 42 mm, the platinum case measures just 12.3 mm in thickness.

On the dial side, the watch adopts an aesthetic resolutely contemporary in style on different aspect. The sapphire dial, has an engraved and inked railway-track minute track and applied white gold baton hour markers, it comprises two distinct parts. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The lower sapphire section reveals the movement's mainplate, which is sandblasted and treated with NAC galvanic coating. The upper part of the dial is defined by an 18k gold plate, finished in a slate-grey hue and hand-guilloché with a radiating pattern. The hours and minutes are indicated by faceted white gold Dauphine hands.

The same NAC galvanic treatment is applied to the back of the movement. Beneath the bridges, which are hand-bevelled and finished with Côtes de Genève, the mainplate is also sandblasted, while the cover of the imposing barrel is given a circular satin finish. Echoing the two-tone aesthetic of the dial, the reverse of Calibre 3610 QP also offers a striking contrast between the anthracite grey of the fixed components and the golden yellow of the moving parts.

To optimise the readability of the displays, the power reserve, day and month counters have been modified and laser-etched glass gives them a frosted appearance that contrasts with the colour of the movement and the guilloché upper dial. The contemporary aesthetic is enhanced by a strap in textured calfskin with a pin buckle in 950 platinum.

QUESTIONS FOR CHRISTIAN SELMONI, MAISON'S LEGACY & STYLE DIRECTOR 

What prompted Vacheron Constantin to follow up on the first Traditionnelle Twin Beat?

The Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar unveiled in 👉2019 was a concept watch, produced in only a few examples, which reflected Vacheron Constantin's research into the power reserve of watch calibres. The dual-frequency solution developed in the Manufacture's workshops offered a highly convincing solution, with a power reserve extending to more than two months. This patented innovation is appropriate to perpetual calendars as it can reduce, if not eliminate, the need to manually adjust the watch's functions – which is ultimately the aim of this type of complication. In recent years, as it has become a matter of prime importance to address users' concerns about issues relating to the power reserve of mechanical watches, it was a natural step for us to undertake further development of Calibre 3610 QP.

What role does innovation play in Vacheron Constantin's production?

Since the Maison's founding in 1755, innovation has been at the heart of Vacheron Constantin's values. It is an integral part of its history, just as much as the aesthetic vision that brings it to life: these two constants are inseparable in their shared pursuit of elegance and functionality. Vacheron Constantin has distinguished itself through its capacity for technical innovation, particularly in the fields of horological complications and ultra-thin watchmaking and, more than a century ago, it pioneered the establishment of a workshop dedicated exclusively to grand complications and creating timepieces that are now part of horological history. More recently, it has distinguished itself with groundbreaking innovations in astronomical and calendar complications, notably with particularly complex Hebrew and Chinese perpetual calendars – true challenges given the irregularities of their lunisolar systems. In 2025, to mark its 270th anniversary, the Maison unveiled a unique astronomical automaton clock, La Quête du Temps, which ranks among the most innovative pieces in the horological world.

VACHERON CONSTANTIN – LES CABINOTIERS Minute Repeater Tourbillon Skeleton Gold - Unique Piece

VACHERON CONSTANTIN – LES CABINOTIERS Minute Repeater Tourbillon Skeleton 45mm Gold - Unique Pièce 2026 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Mechanical complexity laid bare 

    A single piece edition revealing the beauty of the legendary Calibre 2755 TMR SQ with tourbillon and minute repeater 

    One year of development dedicated to skeletonizing the movement 

    Components enhanced by Haute Horlogerie finishing  

Calibre 2755 is one of Vacheron Constantin's emblematic movements. Designed to accommodate the noblest complications of Haute Horlogerie, it integrates a tourbillon regulator and a minute repeater mechanism. True to its spirit of innovation, the Maison now presents a skeletonized version of this movement, an achievement that required one full year of development. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

To highlight both the skeletonization and the finishing work, the single piece edition Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Skeleton features an exterior design of striking restraint. Its 18-carat (4N) gold case measures 45 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness. The bezel and caseback are subtly concave, enhancing the perception of slenderness. Inside, a transparent sapphire dial offers an unobstructed view of the tourbillon. This dial is complemented by two peripheral silver-toned gold rings. The first, with a circular satin finish, serves as a flange. The second, finer ring is fluted and concentric. The ink-filled minute track on the sapphire appears in a deep blue hue, echoed by the circular satin-finished ring surrounding the tourbillon for the seconds display. Eleven precisely applied 18-carat gold baton-type hour markers complete the composition. 

A grand complication calibre

Developed for Vacheron Constantin's 250th anniversary in 2005, Calibre 2750 gave rise to the Tour de l'Île, the most complicated serially produced wristwatch of its time, uniting 16 complications. This tourbillon movement subsequently underwent several years of research and development to adapt its architecture for the integration of major Haute Horlogerie complications. In 2007, these efforts culminate in the launch of the Patrimony Traditionnelle Calibre 2755, equipped with a tourbillon, minute repeater and perpetual calendar — at the time the most complex model in the Vacheron Constantin catalogue. Building on this development, Vacheron Constantin introduces in 2026 the Calibre 2755 TMR SQ with tourbillon and minute repeater in a skeletonized version. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The striking mechanism is based on the original flying centripetal regulator developed for Calibre 2755. This regulator controls the musical sequences so that the notes chimed for hours, quarters and minutes are heard distinctly and harmoniously. Without this device, the sequence would run too quickly, driven by the free unwinding speed of the repeater barrel spring. To optimise the mechanism, Vacheron Constantin replaced the traditional anchor system — noisier and more prone to friction — with a completely silent centripetal regulator. This system features two inertia blocks that create a braking effect on the regulator's pivot axis, thereby smoothing the energy released by the barrel. The presence of a tourbillon completes the regulating system, ensuring the precision of this movement beating at 2.5 Hz. 

Skeletonization, from ancestral craft to contemporary aesthetics

The practice of skeletonization dates back to the late 18th century, when watchmakers began hollowing out plates and bridges to reveal the gear train in motion. During the 19th century, as watchmaking profited from advances in metallurgy, the technique became increasingly refined and was complemented by elaborate engraving and meticulous finishing.

Although temporarily set aside in the early 20th century with the advent of the wristwatch, skeleton models regained prominence in the 1970s in response to the rise of electronic watches. With the revival of mechanical watchmaking in the early 1990s, skeleton watches established themselves as one of the contemporary symbols of horology. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Vacheron Constantin perpetuates this tradition for more than a century, through rock crystal pocket watches, shaped models of the 1920s, ladies' watches from the second half of the 20th century, and more recent complicated timepieces. This heritage also includes the skeletonization of ultra-thin movements such as the manually wound Calibre 1003 (1.64 mm thick) and the automatic Calibre 1120 (2.45 mm thick). 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Skeletonization consists of hollowing out movement components — particularly bridges and the mainplate — through the removal of material. Achieving an aerial, in-depth view of the calibre that highlights its functional structure without compromising robustness or reliability represents a significant technical challenge requiring high precision.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The skeletonization of Calibre 2755 TMR SQ begins with 3D modelling of the movement. This stage identifies the elements to be modified and determines how far they can be lightened without compromising structural rigidity. This modelling and prototyping phase alone required one year of work. The watchmakers do not merely hollow out components; they sculpt and redesign them to create perspective and a sense of depth. 

 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 

The bridges are openworked and the mainplate is reduced by 40% of its original volume. Components are shaped with specific architectural forms, curves, sharp angles, and flowing lines that guide the eye through the movement. These structures become design elements in their own right, creating visual openings that reveal the calibre's depths. Skeletonization also provided the opportunity to highlight the Maison's emblematic Maltese cross, which shapes both the hour wheel and the repeater barrel drum. 

Finishing dedicated to transparency

The skeletonized Calibre 2755 TMR SQ is enhanced by nine meticulous finishing that underscores its complexity. Compared to a traditional calibre, this stage requires four times more time due to the minute size of the movement's 473 components, housed within a thickness of just 6.1 mm. To accentuate the depth effect, components are distinguished by their tones. In addition to brass and steel parts, anthracite-treated components further enhance contrast.  

• Brushing flanks drawing (“étirage”) are created using abrasive tools to obtain fine, parallel, and uniform lines, producing a matte, homogeneous surface that contrasts with polished bevels.

• Surface straightening (“dressage”) involves levelling the upper surfaces using natural shellac stones to achieve a perfectly flat plane with a satin-bright finish.

• Bevelling of the bridges breaks sharp edges by creating a chamfer between the surface and the flanks, subsequently polished to a brilliant finish.

• Sandblasting of the bridges consists of projecting aluminium oxide at high pressure to create a matte, slightly textured surface that absorbs light.

• Rounding off of the tourbillon bar entails meticulous polishing of its semi-circular profile, including interior angles at attachment points, to achieve perfectly rounded, highly brilliant forms.

• Mirror polishing of the hammers produces vivid, shifting reflections, achieved by patiently rubbing the components against a zinc plate coated with fine abrasive.

• Circular graining, applied beneath the bridges and within recesses of the mainplate, creates overlapping circular motifs using a hand-lowered rotating abrasive peg.

• Circling of the wheels is achieved by pressing rotating components against abrasive film to produce fine concentric lines and added brilliance.

• Sunburst finishing on the crown wheel core is created by radial abrasion extending from the centre outward, producing a moiré effect reminiscent of sunrays.

Together, these finishes create plays of light and visual contrasts that highlight the movement's complexity and the quality of its architecture. 

Interview with Christian Selmoni, Style & Heritage Director 

How has skeletonization evolved over time? 

More than two centuries ago, when watchmakers first adopted skeletonization, they focused on lightening the most massive components of calibres, such as mainplates and bridges. As tools improved and metal alloys became stronger and more resilient, skeletonization gradually extended to other components including barrel covers, oscillating weights, and then wheels, hands, and levers. The depth effect is most successful when the movement's architecture elegantly underscores its complexity and when finishing accentuates the diversity of components. It is a high-wire exercise with little in common with simply openworking a dial. Compared with historical skeletonization, one must also note the evolution of design — from classical scrollwork to more geometric forms, whose contemporary character is enhanced by surface treatments unknown in earlier eras. 

What place do minute repeaters occupy within Vacheron Constantin's collections?

Striking watches form part of Vacheron Constantin's great tradition. The records mention a first repeating watch dating from 1806 and a grande and petite sonnerie piece from 1827. Archival documents reveal that the Maison steadily built a strong reputation in this field, frequently commissioned by a prestigious clientele. With the advent of the wristwatch, Vacheron Constantin perpetuated this tradition with a constant emphasis on elegance, synonymous with slender cases and ultra-thin movements. Notable milestones include reference 4261 from the early 1940s, whose minute repeater calibre measures only 3.28 mm thick — a true technical feat matched some fifty years later by Calibre 1755 of identical thickness, already offered in a skeleton version. In 2007, the first version of Calibre 2755 with tourbillon and minute repeater appears, equipped with the new centripetal striking regulator. It is followed in 2013 by Calibre 1731, which set a new thinness record in the field of minute repeaters at just 3.90 mm thick — slightly thicker than its predecessor due to an extended 65-hour power reserve. 

"Explore All Ways Possible", Vacheron Constantin annual theme

“Do better if possible, and that is always possible”.

Vacheron Constantin's motto, originating in the writings of François Constantin in 1819, is a call to constantly push the boundaries of excellence and creativity, wherever it may lead...

Going beyond the limits of watchmaking mechanics, discovering new cultural and artistic horizons, exploring heritage and patrimony: all these are incentives for exploration undertaken by all ways possible, to look further, think differently, and unleash creative energy.

By opening itself to the world, the Maison has found its calling: to make the measurement of time a vast field of research and discovery, encompassing technical, historical, and cultural aspects.

"Explore All Ways Possible": in collaboration with Chinese artist and illustrator Shan Jiang, takes us through a wonderful and poetic journey, where exploration is a source of wonder, innovation and knowledge.

Shan Jiang, a highly acclaimed illustrator, infuses his work with the influence of his hometown, Shanghai. In his creations, he blends skyscrapers and bungalows, traditional superstitions, contemporary concepts and ideologies, and thriving subcultures. His artistic inspirations include Chinese meticulous art, Ukiyo-e, the Bauhaus, Dürer, Jean Giraud, and Eduardo Paolozzi. His artistic approach, often characterized by meticulous detail and boundless imagination, aligns with the House's values ​​of excellence and innovation, particularly through exploration.

Certified with the Hallmark of Geneva and equipped with the ultra-thin calibre 2160, only 5.65 mm thick, the watch features a tourbillon regulator and fits comfortably on the wrist.

A TECHNICAL AND SPORTY MODEL

Titanium is a material that proves particularly well-suited to watchmaking requirements, notably for its robustness, lightness, and the sporty spirit it conveys. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This metal is indeed 30% stronger than steel and weighs half as much. Vacheron Constantin introduced titanium in 2009 for certain components of the Overseas collection, and then, from 2019, for the Everest models developed in collaboration with photographer and explorer Cory Richards. In 2022, a new milestone was reached with an Overseas tourbillon skeleton watch made entirely of titanium. Two years later, another titanium tourbillon model features a blue dial.

Designed to highlight the complexity of the timepiece, the movement’s finishes offer subtle plays of light on its 188 components, elegantly underscoring its sophistication. The calibre features a circular-grained mainplate, the bridges are decorated with Côtes de Genève and hand-beveled, the tourbillon shank is delicately cradled, the wheels are grained, and the screws are chamfered and polished: all details that testify to meticulous craftsmanship.  

INTERVIEW WITH CHRISTIAN SELMONI,
STYLE AND HERITAGE DIRECTOR

Has titanium become an essential material in the Overseas collection?

Vacheron Constantin’s attraction to titanium dates back some fifteen years. Initially, this material was preferred for the case components, helping to reinforce the collection’s sporty and robust character. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The last four years have been marked by the emergence of timepieces made entirely of titanium with integrated bracelets, which have established themselves as a preferred alternative to the steel watches in the Overseas collection. Titanium is particularly prized for its inherent qualities: hypoallergenic, lightweight, and possessing high mechanical and corrosion resistance. In short, it is a material perfectly suited to the Overseas spirit, a watch designed to withstand the rigors of travel.  Is a tourbillon model, known to be fragile, compatible with the concept of a sports watch?

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Since the invention of the tourbillon in the early 19th century, watchmaking technology has undergone major advancements. These advancements concern not only materials science but also crucial elements such as shock-absorbing systems that protect the regulating organs. These two elements combined now make it possible to create tourbillon watches suited to an active lifestyle with a sporty elegance unthinkable just a few decades ago. Add to that a case made entirely of titanium, and you have a slim, lightweight, and robust watch with exemplary precision thanks to its tourbillon regulator, which compensates for the effects of gravity.

Why this deep red color?

The Overseas watches form a collection that lends itself beautifully to new color explorations. This became clear when the Maison introduced a pink hue on certain women’s models and, more recently, intense green or gold dial colors. From there, it was interesting to continue by introducing new variations that bring a touch of originality. The deep red color, elegant and intense, fits perfectly into this vision.
