Massive Attack: Vacheron Constantin's Most Complicated Timepieces

 July 16, 10 09:34

Say the word complication to a sane man and he will do all not only to avoid it but to stay as far as possible from it. Say the same word to a watch collector and his eyes will become starry, his breathing heavy and find himself in a state of semi shock. Sometimes these two worlds collide and things can get really and I mean REALLY complicated when the collector comes home with a ear to ear grin and his grail tourbillon, minute repeater, perpetual calendar strapped proudly on his wrist and his better half – in her habitual bad faith and lack of appreciation for the finer things in life - fails to understand why the kids’ college funds were just spent on a watch.

But since we’re amongst WIS lets have a closer look at Vacheron Constantin’s 10 most complicated watches (and one unique clock) some of which have become milestones in the history of watchmaking.
