It is a defining moment when our watch shop has the opportunity to sell one of the rarest watches in the world…
Iconic watches is extremely pleased to have this beautiful watch in stock. It really is one of the most stunning watches I have ever seen and is just fascinating to watch with its rotating Maltese cross tourbillon movement. (see video below)
In a horologists terms, a tourbillon or ”whirlwind” is an addition to the mechanics of a watches escapement that counters the effects of gravity by mounting the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, in order to negate the effect of gravity when the timepiece (and thus the escapement) is rotated. Its hard to believe that the movement was1st devised in 1795 by the master watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet.
The Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon Regulator invisible setting watch accommodates the hand-wound 1790R caliber, visible through a transparent sapphire crystal case-back. The completely finished-by-hand movement has been designed and manufactured in-house.
The movement boasts exquisite finishing – it is embellished by Cotes-de-Geneve patterns on bridges, fine chamfering on edges, and beveled or finely polished screws and jewel sinks. The movement, with a balance frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, gives an advantage of a40-hour power reserve.
