Vacheron Constantin celebrates its 270th anniversary and its quest for excellence with a new series of Les Cabinotiers watches entitled ‘La Quête’, which pays tribute to astronomy and the odysseys of ancient times. Representing significant technical and aesthetic challenges, these watches highlight Vacheron Constantin’s expertise in creating grand complication watches enhanced by the decorative crafts. The Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication High Jewellery – Moon Dust watch illustrates this vision. Incorporating 16 complications and crafted in 18K white gold, engraved and guilloché by hand and set with diamonds, it offers a poetic interpretation of a journey from Earth to the Moon, celebrating the link between watchmaking artistry and celestial exploration.

A tribute to the great astronomers

The observation of the stars, the cycle of the seasons and the alternation of day and night have always aroused human curiosity, and from very early times, mankind sought to model these phenomena. Thanks to the first astronomical observatories, space-time became a more concrete concept, explained in terms of measurable cycles. Since ancient times, astronomers have proposed various cosmological systems capable of explaining these rhythms in a logical and scientific manner.

The Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication High Jewellery – Moon Dust pays tribute to them not only through its multiple astronomical complications, but also through decorative arts illustrating the great laws of the cosmos as described since Copernicus. These appear on either side of the case with two representations of the solar system as seen during a journey from Earth to the Moon.

Manufacture calibre 2755 GC16

The Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication High Jewellery – Moon Dust watch, equipped with Calibre 2755 GC16, benefits from the research and development carried out for the Tour de l'Ile watch, created to mark the Maison's 250th anniversary in 2005.

Calibre 2755 GC16 is a hand-wound manufacture movement equipped with a tourbillon regulator. This horological complication compensates for the effect of Earth's gravity on the mechanism by constantly changing the positions of the escapement and regulator. Contained within a Maltese cross-shaped cage reminiscent of the Vacheron Constantin emblem, the tourbillon completes one full rotation per minute and serves as a small seconds indicator.

The watch also incorporates a minute repeater that chimes on demand to indicate the hours, quarters and minutes. To minimise background noise while also reducing wear on the mechanism, the striking of the gongs is controlled by an ingenious rotating regulator. This singular system is distinguished by its two weights, which act with centripetal force generate a kind of 'engine brake' on the striking bar. Operating in complete silence, it regulates the duration of the musical sequences and smooths the energy released by the barrel, thus producing clear, distinct and perfectly rhythmical sounds.

The calendar and astronomical functions are positioned on both sides of the watch. Beginning with the front dial, an aperture at 6 o'clock reveals the mechanical ballet of the tourbillon, and the perpetual calendar is displayed on the three counters: the date at 3 o'clock, the day at 9 o'clock and the month at 12 o'clock. Taking into account the particularities of the Gregorian calendar does not require any correction until 2100, which is a secular non-leap year.

The leap year indication is displayed in a small window at 1 o'clock, next to a hand that indicates the minute repeater torque. The power reserve indicator for the movement is displayed on the counter at positioned at 9 o'clock, by a serpentine hand mounted coaxially with the day of the week hand, echoing the power reserve indicator for the chime.

This mechanically complex calibre provides an astronomical reading of time. The equation of time is indicated on a gauge on the upper left-hand edge of the dial.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Since the Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical rather than circular, and since the Earth's axis is tilted at 24° to the plane of its orbit, the time between two passages of the Sun though its zenith differs from day to day throughout the year. This difference between the solar (or true) day and the 24-hour civil (mean) day ranges from -16 to +14 minutes depending on the time of year is shown as the equation of time, which coincides only four times a year at the solstices and equinoxes. On the lower part of the dial, to the left and right of the tourbillon, the times of sunrise and sunset for a reference city are displayed.

On the reverse side of the watch, sidereal time is marked on a fixed disc with an aperture that reveals a rotating disc showing the constellations that can be observed from the Northern Hemisphere. Taking a fixed star in the celestial vault as a reference point, the time it takes for Earth to complete a full 360° rotation, or sidereal day, is exactly 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. As the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun, it takes approximately four minutes less than a calendar day to return to its original position in relation to the given star.

On this watch, the disc engraved with the constellations makes an “accelerated” rotation by 4 minutes, according to sidereal time. The time is displayed on a fixed, open-worked dial, graduated in 15-minute increments. The date is located on the periphery of the rotating disc, opposite the hour, and is also indicated on the fixed outer flange, graduated in 5-unit increments, by the large central hand. This hand also indicates the four dates corresponding to the solstices and equinoxes, the signs of the zodiac and the seasons, which are marked on a series of concentric circles. The smaller central hand indicates the age of the moon, meaning the number of days since the last new moon.

Comprising 839 meticulously finished components, the caliber measures 33.90 mm in diameter and 12.15 mm thick. Beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz) and offering a 58-hour power reserve, it is set in an 18k white gold case. Measuring 47 mm in diameter, the case has been specifically designed to provide the best sound quality for the minute repeater.  This feat of technical skill and miniaturization displays all its functions with perfect legibility on both sides. 

Three artistic crafts in harmony

To showcase this grand complication calibre, Vacheron Constantin called on the talents of its masters in the arts of engraving, gem-setting and guilloché work. A 'celestial' decoration evokes the great laws of the universe and the intersidereal journeys that took man to the Moon.   

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The gem-setting is particularly complex and involves several techniques. Baguette-cut diamonds are rail-set on the flat areas of the case: in a double row on the front dial bezel and a single row on the reverse dial bezel, as well as on the top of the lugs and the folding clasp. The case middle and lugs are illuminated by snow setting, a technique created by a seemingly random paving of brilliant-cut diamonds of different diameters that creates an almost unbroken expanse of reflected light, with minimal visible metal. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Harmonising with the engraving on the case middle, the diamonds evoke the moon dust that gave this watch its name. Amplifying the astral theme, the spaces between the lugs are engraved using the taille-douce technique and setting en masse with diamonds to evoke a comet and the Milky Way. The gem-setting represents 230 hours of work, with total of 200 baguette-cut diamonds (~9 carats) and 165 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.92 carats) – in nine sizes ranging from 0.7 to 2 mm – adding radiance to this immersion into the heart of the solar system.

The engraver's work brings the richness of the decoration to life. On the crown side, engraved sunrays shine through clouds towards Earth, while the opposite side of the case depicts a view of the planets as seen from the Moon. This spectacle is created by taille-douce engraving – a combination of drypoint and burin engraving, that creates incisions of around 0.1 millimetres deep. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

To bring out the slightly domed surface of the moon at 9 o'clock and the contours of Earth on the crown side, slightly more pronounced incisions of around 0.5 mm are made. Once the volumes have been created, the engraver alternates between polished surfaces, particularly on the planets, and finely chased surfaces to accentuate the sense of depth and perspective of the panorama. To complete the engraving on this watch required 180 hours of meticulous work.

The front dial is guilloché by hand in a radiating pattern that adds visual depth to the blue PVD coating and evokes the immensity of the universe. The dial is also enhanced by a black opaline border, which is repeated on the three perpetual calendar counters and the sunrise and sunset indicators to accentuate the sparkle of the diamonds set on the case. 

QUESTIONS FOR SANDRINE DONGUY, 
HERITAGE & STYLE DIRECTOR

What best characterises the Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication High Jewellery – Moon Dust watch? 

It is a highly complicated piece, both technically and aesthetically, engaging three artistic crafts. On a technical level, it's important to highlight the feat of miniaturisation required to create a movement barely 12.15 mm thick, comprising more than 800 components and incorporating 16 complications, including a minute repeater and a tourbillon regulator. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This is especially notable, given that a tourbillon cage, as well as the gongs and hammers for the repeater, are components that take up considerable space. Ultimately, the dimensions of the case – 47 mm in diameter by 19 mm in height – are entirely appropriate for the complexity of the mechanism as well achieving musical resonance. It illustrates the challenges met by Les Cabinotiers, whose mission is to offer timepieces that are technically innovative in their complications and captivating in their interpretation of the decorative arts. 

What do the artistic crafts tell us? 

When observing the engraving and gem-setting work on the case flanks, one cannot help but find parallels with 19th-century iconography. At that time, people dreamed of space conquest and interstellar travel. The intervention of artistic crafts is essential to give this watch its character. The combination of gem-setting, engraving and guilloché on a watch powered by this movement transforms this instrument for measuring time and astronomical observation into a fascinating narrative.  

Why choose astronomy as the theme for this series of timepieces celebrating Vacheron Constantin's 270th anniversary? 

It is one of three themes, along with great conquerors of the ancient world and the legend of Heracles, chosen to illustrate 'The Quest'. Astronomy was chosen because of the fundamental role this science has played in the history and development of watchmaking, and also because of the Maison's recognised expertise in this field. Watchmaking is the daughter of astronomy and opens infinite fields of creativity. Since its foundation, Vacheron Constantin has distinguished itself through its commitment to astronomical complications, whether in the form of calendar indications, the movement of the stars or multiple representations of time. This inclination to translate the laws of the universe into mechanical data has given rise to pieces that are now part of watchmaking history. The Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication High Jewellery – Moon Dust watch is a worthy successor to this legacy, displaying civil, solar and sidereal time with the movement of the constellations in real time.

Vacheron Constantin celebrates its 270th anniversary and its quest for excellence with a new series of Les Cabinotiers watches entitled 'La Quête', which pays tribute to astronomy and the odysseys of ancient times. Representing significant technical and aesthetic challenges, these pieces highlight Vacheron Constantin's expertise in creating grand complication watches enhanced by artistic crafts.

The Cosmica Duo – Grand Complication, a single-piece edition, showcases two worlds thanks to an ingenious reversibility system: one dial transports observers to the stars, while the other immerses them in the kinetic artistry of the new Calibre 2756-B1. Astronomical functions are the main focus of this grand complication watch, which also incorporates a minute repeater and a tourbillon.  

A spirit of discovery

The observation of the stars, the cycle of the seasons and the alternation of day and night have always aroused human curiosity, and from very early times, mankind sought to model these phenomena. Thanks to the first astronomical observatories, space-time became a more concrete concept, explained in terms of measurable cycles. 

A watch for observation

The double-sided watch features 24 complications, mainly astronomical and including a minute repeater and a tourbillon regulator, orchestrated by the new Calibre 2756-B1. This movement, which took four years to develop, is issued from the base of the Calibre 2756 presented in 2020. The base movement that powers the minute repeater and tourbillon has undergone a few modifications, while the two additional plates have been almost entirely redeveloped. One controls the perpetual calendar and celestial chart; the other is used for astronomical indications.

One dial, in predominantly blue tones, offers a sidereal journey, in addition to the essential time and calendar references. The symmetry of the dial, which ensures clear legibility of the indications, belies the complexity of its construction, which comprises 22 parts. The off-centre hour and minute counter also displays a Northern Hemisphere sky chart. As it rotates, it reproduces the movement of the constellations according to the length of a sidereal day, which is marked on the periphery. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Taking a fixed star in the sky as a reference point, the time it takes for the Earth to complete a full 360° rotation, or sidereal day, is exactly 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. As the Earth rotates on its axis at the same time as it revolves around the sun, it takes approximately four minutes less than a calendar day to return to its original point in relation to the given star. A light-coloured ellipse highlights what the observer can see in real time.

This dial configuration frees up space for the two perpetual calendar counters. One at 5 o'clock uses hands to indicate the months and the leap years on an 8-year cycle. The other, at 7 o'clock, displays the days and dates, also with hands. The central time functions are complemented by a second time zone indicated by a coaxial hand, open-worked and coloured orange. Local time and home time each have a day/night counter, at 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock respectively, while a window at 6 o'clock displays the name of the city chosen from among the 24 time zones, for the indication of the second time zone. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

In contrast to the celestial poetry of that dial, the other – an open-face dial constructed from 28 parts – reveals the mechanical heart of the calibre. The central hands, including the minute hand bearing the symbol of the sun, indicate true solar time. Based on the apparent movement of the Sun, this varies from civil time due to the inclination of Earth's axis and its elliptical orbit. Mean solar time, or civil time, which governs our daily lives, coincides with true solar time only four times a year at the solstices and equinoxes. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The differences, ranging from -16 minutes and 23 seconds to +14 minutes and 22 seconds per day, constitute the equation of time. Calibre 2756-B1 presents this as a running equation of time, enabling the solar and civil times to be read simultaneously, one on each side of the watch. The indications of sunrise and sunset times and the length of day and night, positioned at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, complete this 'solar' information. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

At 6 o'clock, the age and phases of the moon are displayed by a retrograde hand on a semi-circular counter. The precision moon phase requires only one correction every 1,000 years. 

A new reversible and ergonomic case

In addition to its technical complexity and distinctive design, the originality of this piece lies in its reversibility. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Measuring 47 mm in diameter and 20.20 mm in height, a feat in itself given the complexity of a movement comprising 1,003 components, the white gold case features articulated lugs with removable strap attachments that can be secured on either side of the fixing bars without the need for tools. The challenge in designing such a system lies in its ergonomics, ensuring that the watch is comfortable to wear regardless of which side is chosen. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The lugs are therefore short with a rounded profile, holding the watch in place without needing to rest on the wrist, and enabling the alligator leather strap to be freely reversed. This ensures that, as well as remaining stable, the watch is also comfortable, as only the strap is in contact with the wrist. Depending on the wearer's preferred time measurement, the Cosmica Duo – Grand Complication watch displays either mean civil time or true solar time with the ability to switch from one to the other in an instant by turning the watch over.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The case design has been carefully considered to simplify the control of the functions. A push-button integrated into the crown sets the second time zone, while a selector located in the case side can lock the sky chart in place when setting the watch. The minute repeater lever has been specially designed and positioned in the centre of the case side to maintain the symmetry of the watch regardless of which side the wearer prefers. 

A musical tourbillon timepiece

A highly complex astronomical timepiece, the Cosmica Duo – Grand Complication is also a musical watch with a minute repeater. To create this on-demand striking mechanism, which – given its melodic dimension – is one of the most delicate of all horological complications, the engineers and master watchmakers at Vacheron Constantin drew inspiration from the work carried out on the 2005 La Tour de l'Île watch. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Of particular note is the striking regulator, introduced in that watch, which governs the striking of the gongs by the hammers. This system, visible through the open-worked dial at 8 o'clock, perfectly regulates the duration of the musical sequences played for the hours, quarters and minutes. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Operating in complete silence, it ensures distinct, harmonious and perfectly rhythmical chimes. The system is distinguished by its two weights with a remarkable shape optimised to generate a kind of 'engine brake' through centripetal force acting on the striking bar, thus smoothing out the energy released by the barrel. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Operating at 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz), the escapement regulator is integrated into a tourbillon positioned at 12 o'clock. By constantly changing the position of the regulator to counteract the effects of Earth's gravity on the amplitude of the balance wheel, the tourbillon is synonymous with increased movement precision. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The tourbillon cage takes the form of a Maltese cross, the emblem of Vacheron Constantin and the mechanism is topped by the retrograde power reserve indicator, an additional challenge in terms of construction. 

An aesthetic quest 

The first dial is ultramarine blue, featuring a sky chart on a very thin disc, measuring just 0.25 mm thick, rotating under a sapphire crystal engraved by metallisation; the horizon is defined according to the geographical position of the wearer. All the elements of the dial are finely finished: the mother-of-pearl inserts on the sidereal hour circle are tinted blue; the opaline dial has a circular-satin-finished outer edge, while the perpetual calendar counters are circular-satin-finished with azuré centres; the white gold hour markers are lacquered and the edge of the sky chart is fluted. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The reverse side is radically different. Giving strong expression to the complexity of the skeletonised Calibre 2756-B1 while ensuring legibility, the power reserve, moon phases and indications of day and night and sunrise and sunset are marked on discreet inserts of blue-tinted mother-of-pearl. The inserts are constructed on two levels, strengthening the three-dimensional effect. To accentuate the airy feel of the retrograde moon phase display and the depth of the movement, five domed moons in 18K gold are mounted on an arc of sapphire crystal at the bottom of the dial. The periphery of the dial is opaline with circular satin finishing.  This open-worked dial reveals the beauty of the movement finishes, which is enhanced by the champagne colour of the components, created by galvanic treatment. Circling decorates the plates and the hand-bevelled bridges are decorated with Côtes de Genève and circling. The rockers are sunburst-brushed, while the wheels are circled and the gears are mirror-polished. The alternation of sandblasted and circular grained surfaces further accentuates the technical nature of this piece. 

 QUESTIONS FOR CHRISTIAN SELMONIY, 
DIRECTOR OF HERITAGE & STYLE

What approach has Vacheron Constantin taken to astronomy?

The sciences of astronomy and astrophysics – which over the centuries have enabled us to probe the mysteries of the universe, discover distant galaxies, explain the birth of stars and even test the existence of black holes – have always excited the imagination of watchmakers. This translates into expertise in astronomical complications at Vacheron Constantin and demonstrates, if proof were needed, that we can always "do better if possible, which is always possible," according to the Maison's motto. This knowledge, already proven at the time of Vacheron Constantin's founding during the Age of Enlightenment – a period highly conducive to the scientific spirit – has been passed down through the generations. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Barely 30 years after the Maison was founded, the first astronomical indications appeared on a Vacheron Constantin watch: a pocket watch with a complete calendar on a floral-patterned dial, created in 1785 under the leadership of Abraham Vacheron, son of the founder. Since then, there have been countless models equipped with such functions, including the highly complicated pieces made in the first half of the 20th century for the kings Fouad and Farouk of Egypt. More recently, following the technical developments achieved with the pieces celebrating the Maison's 250th anniversary in 2005, Vacheron Constantin's watchmakers have distinguished themselves in this field with the Reference 57260 in 2015, the Berkley in 2024 and the Solaria in 2025. Each of these three pieces incorporates rare, and even completely new, calendar and astronomical functions among their multiple complications. 

A double-sided watch that is also reversible? 

One of the most notable features of this timepiece is its reversible design. This is by no means the first time that Vacheron Constantin has presented a double-sided wristwatch. Given the Maison's expertise in grand complication models, it is essential to be able to use both sides of the watch to orchestrate all of its functions in a legible and harmonious manner. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

However, the reverse side of such pieces, which often expresses the poetry of time in the form of a moving sky chart, usually remains hidden because you have to take off your watch to enjoy the spectacle. With the Cosmica Duo watch, the designers took a different approach by creating a reversible case with articulated lugs and removable straps. This also provided an opportunity to devise a new layout for the functions and a very different design for each dial.
