The American 1921 puts the dial on a diagonal and the crown at one o'clock, drawn from a cushion-cased watch built for drivers who read the time without leaving the wheel. Nothing else in fine watchmaking looks like it.

The collection

Historiques

Models revisited from the house archive rather than newly drawn designs

Historiques is where Vacheron Constantin revisits watches from its own archive rather than designing something new. The American 1921 follows a cushion cased driver's watch made for the American market in the early 1920s, its dial set on the diagonal with the crown at 1 o'clock so the time could be read without taking a hand off the wheel. The 222 goes back to 1977 and Jorg Hysek's sports watch, with a notched bezel, an integrated bracelet and a Maltese cross set into the case at 5 o'clock. These are reinterpretations rather than copies, built on current Vacheron Constantin calibres and shown through sapphire backs.
