In order to give access to its non-conformist universe outside these major events, Rebellion is also anchoring itself on the French Riviera by offering its timepieces in the boutiques of its partner Bel Art. The summer will also be marked by Rebellion's colors with the upcoming opening of new pop-up stores.

Two discreet flat titanium crowns, perfectly integrated, close this atypical cylinder-shaped case. The one on the left is dedicated to winding the caliber and the one on the right to set the time. The hours and minutes are displayed by means of two rollers.

The T-500 model demonstrates Rebellion Timepieces' ability to innovate. This futuristic-looking timepiece is the only one in the world with a record 450-hour power reserve, achieved by a hand-wound movement with six barrels.

The three variations of the RE-Volt 3 Hands Carbon Colored also push back the conventions with their case machined in a high-tech material. Their design benefits from a new aesthetic obtained through the use of a new technology: colored carbon. The RE-Volt Arctic Storm features the bluish hues of ice and pack ice. The Mars Valley offers a journey towards the rocks of the red planet of our solar system. The Toxic Storm model combines three shades inspired by the aurora borealis to offer a remarkable visual composition.

Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada

Rebellion Motors will also be present during the entire Monegasque event. The workshop maintains and repairs sports cars of yesterday and today. The garage will exhibit exceptional models in the Diaghilev space of the Grimaldi Forum on more than 150m2. Among the cars on sale, a rare Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada in perfect condition will attract the attention of collectors and connoisseurs with its aluminum body and Chevrolet V8. It is one of the 123 coupés produced between 1965 and 1968.

Ferrari 365 GTC

The Ferrari 365 GTC in its gray dress designed by Pininfarina and equipped with a powerful V12 should not leave indifferent either. About two hundred examples were built by the Italian firm at the end of the 1960s. The brand with the prancing horse is still in the spotlight with a Ferrari 246 GTS, better known as the Ferrari Dino.

With its 6 cylinders and its sublime red paint, this car has all the assets to join the garage of an informed collector. Last but not least, another masterpiece will turn more than one eye: a yellow AC Cobra Bardhal Replica. Only 18 examples left the workshops to compete for the Bardhal trophy. Among the chassis produced, only four, including this one, are recognized as "Shelby", and appear in the Shelby Registery Book.

Geneva, 2022 – Vacheron Constantin presents a new signature timepiece combining a platinum case with a salmon-coloured dial. This classically inspired combination is available in limited annual production exclusively from Vacheron Constantin boutiques. This Traditionnelle perpetual calendar chronograph with a new face is powered by in-house Calibre 1142 QP, one of the most prestigious chronograph movements enhanced by the perpetual calendar complication and crafted in the purest tradition of Haute Horlogerie.

Since 2006, Vacheron Constantin has been renowned for its Collection Excellence Platine comprising specific limited editions made of this noble metal. In the same spirit of exclusivity, Vacheron Constantin has created a new signature model combining a salmon-coloured dial with a platinum case. This combination harks back to the great days of classical watchmaking, when coloured dials were a symbol of elegance.

Vacheron Constantin continues to cultivate the same elegance in its collections thanks to a technical and aesthetic quest in which attention to detail constitutes an anatomy of beauty inherent in its timepieces. This harmonious platinum and salmon colour combination is an integral part of the Maison’s heritage, perfectly embodied in some of its historic models. It will henceforth be reserved for watches produced in limited annual quantities and destined for Vacheron Constantin boutiques.

Perfect legibility

For the launch of these timepieces, the Maison presents the Traditionnelle perpetual calendar chronograph, a model symbolising the Manufacture’s technical expertise in the realm of grand complications. As its name suggests, this watch embodies traditional watchmaking codes, notably including Dauphine-type hands, a railway-type minutes track and a stepped case with distinctive fluting on the back.

The legibility of the functions – an essential characteristic of Vacheron Constantin watches – is carefully orchestrated between the chronograph and the perpetual calendar. Time indications are provided by white gold hands and hour-markers, while the chronograph and date functions are displayed by blued steel hands. The 30-minute chronograph counter and the small seconds counter appear in a perfectly balanced symmetrical arrangement.

The moon phases appear on a platinum disc at 6 o'clock, integrated within the pointer-type date display. The day, month and leap-year cycle are read off through apertures in the upper part of the dial. The technical nature of the model is further accentuated by the tachymeter scale around the periphery and serving to calculate the average speed over a distance of 1000 metres thanks to the positioning of the chronograph seconds hand.

Concern for details

In keeping with the Maison’s philosophy of sophisticated aesthetics ensuring that each component benefits from meticulous care enhancing the overall beauty of each model, meticulous attention has been lavished on the dial. Its opaline salmon-coloured small seconds and chronograph minute counters are distinguished by a circular satin-brushed ring with a finely snailed centre. The same snailed finish is featured on the circumference displaying the date numerals.

The platinum disc, bearing a moon that is alternately smiling and melancholy depending on the phase, has also been revisited in the spirit of 19th century table watches. The raised moons are polished and surrounded by stars against a frosted background. One final detail plays a particularly important role in accentuating the exclusive nature of this new interpretation: a relief and facetted version of Maison’s emblematic Maltese cross beneath the 12 o'clock hour-marker. Crafted in 18K 5N pink gold, it features facets on each arm that are sandblasted on one side and polished on the other, thus providing a new expression of the Vacheron Constantin symbol.

A prestigious calibre

To drive the functions of this watch, the case is equipped with manual-winding Calibre 1142 QP. This chronograph movement, complemented by a perpetual calendar, is one of the most highly prized historical calibres among collectors.

It dates back to the 1940s and is notably distinguished by the sophisticated aesthetics of its architecture as well as by its reliability and precision enhanced by its column-wheel system. This 324-component movement in its perpetual calendar version has been adapted over the decades, particularly to meet Hallmark of Geneva criteria, while its rate frequency has been modified to 3 Hz (21,600 vph) and its power reserve amounts to 48 hours.

The movement finishing which can be admired through the sapphire crystal caseback is the object of particular attention perfectly illustrating this year’s theme, with a circular-grained mainplate, Côtes de Genève motif on the bridges, hand-bevelled components and straight-grained flanks. Fitted with an alligator leather strap secured by a folding clasp, this watch offering chronograph and perpetual calendar functions features two of the most prestigious horological complications, while being eminently suitable for everyday use – an extremely attractive combination in the world of time measurement.

================================
The Anatomy of Beauty®

Involving attention to details all the way to the smallest component, the elegant design of this new Traditionnelle perpetual calendar chronograph is entirely in keeping with Vacheron Constantin's 2022 "The Anatomy of Beauty®" theme. This extraordinarily painstaking care is expressed through the designers' aesthetic choices and preferences as well as in the meticulous finishing work performed by the artisans. All the components of a Vacheron Constantin watch benefit from this scrupulous attention, even those that remain invisible once the movement has been assembled.

A keen eye will note the fine guilloché work on a dial or the gem-set minutes track; it will make out the contours of the Maison’s Maltese cross emblem on the links of a bracelet; it will notice the small flame-blued screw serving as a seconds indicator on a tourbillon carriage and the mirror polish of a minute-repeater hammer; it will appreciate the artisans’ delicate touch when chamfering a plate or rounding off a bridge; and finally, it will admire the miniature enamel painting depicting a ship tossed around by a stormy sea streaked with lightning.

At Vacheron Constantin, concern for detail delicately shapes an anatomy of beauty in which nothing is left to chance.
