Described by horological heavyweights as the most complicated watch ever made, we discover the latest masterpiece from the Swiss watchmaker
With over 8 years in the making from three of Vacheron Constantin’s master watchmakers, Reference 57260 is a double-dial horological masterwork of unimaginable complication and technical innovation. Designed through a combination of classic watchmaking principles paired with 21st century thinking – the timepiece is truly an original with over 57 complications, several of which are entirely new and unique.
The new complications that were required to be incorporated including, amongst others, the mulitple calendars and double retrograde rattrapante chronograph, had never previously existed and therefore had to be calculated, designed and developed from scratch, thus a completely new calibre of movement was created. This meant the creation of an entirely new type of movement unlike any other seen before, even the mechanisms of the more familiar complications have been modified, reinterpreted, and redesigned so that the finished watch is consistent.
