A true master at creating skeletonized watches, Vacheron Constantin is particularly skilled at chase work and handling precious metals. Vacheron Constantin created their very first skeletonized wristwatch in 1964, and has never stopped innovating since then. This watch, from the 1980s, features an automatic movement that is carefully welded and crafted to show off its intricate mechanism. Even the rotor is thoughtfully decorated so that the viewer can enjoy the design as it moves with the wearer’s hand. The watch is further enhanced by a diamond-set bezel and bracelet, which is incredibly impressive and heavy. 22/04/16 15:58
