Crafted with unparalleled expertise, the intricate art of creating striking watches has been mastered by only a select few horologists. For over two centuries, the renowned Manufacture Vacheron Constantin has been at the forefront of producing a stunning collection of striking timepieces. In a remarkable display of virtuosity, the Maison unveiled a true masterpiece in 2013, setting a new standard in horology by crafting the thinnest hand-wound calibre and minute repeater watch in the market, measuring a mere 3.9mm and 8.1mm in thickness respectively. Originally introduced in luxurious 18K 5N pink gold, this exceptional timepiece made its debut at Watches & Wonders 2015, now encased in platinum and adorned with a silvered opaline or slate-colored opaline dial, proudly bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva. Every detail of the Patrimony ultra-thin calibre 1731 was meticulously designed to ensure impeccable acoustics, as the true essence of a striking watch lies in its melodious sound. Innovative technical decisions were implemented to achieve a crystal-clear and harmonious tone, with the gongs ingeniously stacked within the case to amplify the sound. The platinum case was meticulously shaped to seamlessly integrate with the movement, optimizing the airflow for the perfect propagation of notes. The seamless construction of the case, devoid of joints, allows for enhanced metal-to-metal interactions, elevating the amplitude of the sound produced. Further enhancing the precision of the timepiece, a flying governor ensures a consistent rhythm in the striking of the gongs. Each element of this extraordinary watch harmoniously contributes to its exceptional sound quality, making it a true testament to Vacheron Constantin's unwavering pursuit of horological perfection.
