Description
The whimsical Christopher Columbus edition of Vacheron Constantin's 'Tribute to Great Explorers' series features a grand feu enamel dial with a map evoking the path of the famous explorer. Time is displayed through a wandering hour display. First introduced in 2007, earlier versions paid tribute to Magellan and Zheng He, while a model for Marco Polo is also available.
Movement
Automatic movement based on JLC 889. Wandering hours similar to Urwerk / Starwheel.
An extraordinary sight, made possible by a no less extraordinary ��C and of course exclusive ��C mechanical development under the dial. Building on a tried and tested selfwinding movement, this horological ?��complication?�� puts in play a series of truly original devices: broad rotating hour ?��crown?�� wheel, positioning fingerpieces and pivoting hour-figure-bearing satellites driven by Maltese crosses reminiscent of Vacheron Constantin's long-established corporate symbol. Not a few watchmakers would doubtless be stunned at the sight?abefore applauding so remarkable an accomplishment.
