The Patrimony Traditionnelle “ Calibre 2755 ” underwent three years of development and testing before the model was released . The watch , comprised of 602 separate parts , features a perpetual calendar function and is fitted with both a tourbillon and minute repeating complication . This watch is among Vacheron Constantin ’ s most complicated wristwatches in current production .
The minute repeating mechanism within the watch is perhaps the most striking feature of all . The minute repeater features an original centripetal flying strike governor that regulates the speed of the striking hammers , at the same time eliminating the background noise of typical lever-based mechanisms . The governer is proudly displayed through the sapphire crystal case back , which can be marveled in action .
The watch furthermore features the prestigious Poinçon de Genève ( Hallmark of Geneva ), attesting to the quality and craftsmanship of the present watch .
