“La Musique du Temps” Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication Split-seconds Chronograph – Tempo
Part of the “La Musique du Temps” collection, these two chiming watches add to Vacheron Constantin’s illustrious history of creating masterful musical horological complications. Each of these watches’ unique sound prints will be certified at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios, each creating an individual “fingerprint,” or recording of the unique sound of each model.
The breathtaking 19 complications of the one-of-kind Les Cabinotiers Astronomical Striking Grand Complication – Ode to Music and the 24 complications of the Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication Split-seconds Chronograph – Tempo, will show you exactly why Vacheron Constantin produces the most romantic timepieces in existence. The sky’s the limit, and for Vacheron Constantin, the heavens above often become an essential part of the design.
“La Musique du Temps” Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication Split-seconds Chronograph – Tempo
1,163 Components of Pure Excellence.
The front of the dial displays off-center hours with an inner 24-hour time zone disc that can be used to display a second time zone (top left subdial), the minutes with a 30-minute counter chronograph on the inner disc (top right subdial). The split-second chronograph is displayed from the central hands, and the perpetual calendar indicated below. On the lower half, you’ll find the day and date (lower left subdial) and month and leap year (lower right subdial). Topping it off, a minute repeater chimes hours, quarters, and minutes, all on-demand.
Turning the watch over to see the reverse is where things get especially dreamy:
