In 2008, Vacheron Constantin unveiled the exquisite 'Historiques American 1921', drawing inspiration from a daring cushion-shaped timepiece created exclusively for an affluent American patron during the vibrant era of the 1920s. Embracing the essence of that bygone period, Vacheron Constantin revisits its innovative origins by harmoniously blending avant-garde design with a profound reverence for history in a graceful homage to the 1920s. Exuding timeless charm and subtle sophistication, this quintessential 'dandy-style' watch pays homage to its predecessor with a 40mm cushion-shaped case meticulously fashioned from 18-carat pink gold, featuring a unique diagonal time display and a distinctive crown positioned at 1 o'clock. The sandblasted dial showcases 12 black-painted Arabic numerals encircling a matching minute track, complemented by black oxidised 18-carat gold hands. Encased beneath a gently curved sapphire crystal, the watch boasts a transparent case back, offering a glimpse of the impeccable craftsmanship of the hand-wound Calibre 4400 movement – meticulously developed and executed in-house by Vacheron Constantin – proudly bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the Calibre 4400 measures 28mm in diameter, 2.8mm in thickness, and features an impressive power reserve of approximately 65 hours. Water-resistant up to 3 bar (30 meters), this timepiece comes paired with a luxurious hand-stitched dark brown alligator leather strap, secured by an 18-carat pink gold pin buckle shaped like a half Maltese Cross. A true embodiment of sophistication and horological excellence, the 'Historiques American 1921' seamlessly blends tradition with innovation, offering a distinguished addition to any discerning collector's ensemble.
