@vacheronconstantin #VacheronConstantin #monochromewatches Building upon the legacy of the iconic ultra-thin Calibre 1120, Vacheron Constantin ushers in a new era with a brand-new Overseas Ultra-Thin with a brand-new movement, Calibre 2550. Engineered from the ground up as an ultra-thin platform to be used for years to come. At just 2.4mm in height, it is once again a testament to the Maison's capabilities in movement construction, and it comes with several clever innovations. To learn all the ins and outs, we sit down with Christian Selmoni, Style & Heritage Director for Vacheron Constantin. We discover the challenges to construct such a thin movement, the innovation of the construction that puts it ahead of others in the field, and the plans for the future with this new calibre. Plus, we discover the beautiful new Overseas Ultra-Thin that debuts the Calibre 2550 to the world. This, and more, in the full video.
