From Vacheron Constantin's Historiques collection, two new models from the 1940s have been released: the Historiques Triple Calendar 1942 and the Historiques Triple Calendar 1948, as well as the Historiques Américaine 1921 (36.5mm), a reproduction of a popular model produced for the American market in 1921.
Historiques Triple Calendar 1942
(¥2,125,000 *Price revised to ¥2,160,000 from January 1st)
Crafted in stainless steel, the Historiques Triple Calendar 1942 is inspired by the Reference 4240, which was released in 1942 in yellow gold, pink gold, and stainless steel. It features central hours and minutes displays and a small seconds at 6 o'clock, as well as hand-operated date displays and apertures for the day and month.
The calendar display, set against a two-tone silver-finish dial typical of the period, is available in burgundy or dark blue. The sunburst satin-finish center and scattered Arabic numerals around the periphery enhance the visibility of each display function and elegantly enhance the watch's retro, chic look.
"Historiques Triple Calendar 1948" Limited to 200 pieces each
(3.8 million yen *Price revised to 3.87 million yen from January 1st)
The "Historiques Triple Calendar 1948," limited to 200 pieces each, is based on the "Reference 4240 L" released in 1948. Like the original model, each is crafted from 18K (4N) pink gold, with a touch of materiality close to the original's elegant style.
The beautiful design and unique personality of the original have been preserved in the modern model, with a silver opaline center and a sunburst satin-finished outer periphery, creating a subtle difference in style. The dial is studded with applied Arabic numerals and triangular indexes, and thin baton-shaped hands rotate.
The discs for the calendar and moon phase displays can be chosen from burgundy or dark blue. The burgundy version is paired with a brown leather strap, while the dark blue version is paired with a matching leather strap, both of which come with a pin buckle.
"Historiques Américaine 1921 36.5mm"
(¥3,175,000 *Price revised to ¥3,220,000 from January 1st)
The "Historiques Américaine 1921 36.5mm" is a faithful reproduction of the original model, with a cushion-shaped case crafted from 18K (5N) pink gold.
This watch, set with a gently domed sapphire crystal, is powered by Vacheron Constantin's Caliber 4400AS manual-winding movement, which displays the hours, minutes, and small seconds and has a generous power reserve of approximately 65 hours.
"Historiques Americain 1921, 36.5mm"
(3,175,000 yen *Price revised to 3,220,000 yen from January 1st)
The large square scale strap is hand-sewn with saddle stitching and is fitted with a pin buckle modeled after the Maltese cross, Vacheron Constantin's historic symbol. This watch also comes with an additional red glossy alligator leather strap for a more feminine style.
Both will be available from this winter.
