It might seem strange to you that despite its very long history as a maker of very complicated watches (including last year’s supercomplicated pocket watch, the ref. 57260) Vacheron Constantin has never made a grande sonnerie wristwatch. It looks like it seemed strange to VC as well; for the 2017 SIHH the company is introducing the first grande sonnerie wristwatch it’s ever made, ever. The entire watch was assembled, adjusted, and regulated by a single watchmaker who expended around 500 hours of extremely expert labor on the watch. Wow.
