A Dynamic Form Born from Structure

VACHERON CONSTANTIN's "Quai de l'Île" collection embodies the tradition of haute horlogerie in a contemporary style. The collection's name, "Quai de l'Île," is derived from a historic location in Geneva, deeply connected to the Maison.

A new model has arrived in the "Quai de l'Île" line, clad in the trending blue hue, presented in stainless steel. The robust yet lightweight 41mm stainless steel case is finished with polishing and satin brushing, accentuating its sculpted form.

The case design is a sophisticated fusion of VACHERON CONSTANTIN's three iconic forms: a round bezel, a cushion-shaped case middle, and a barrel-shaped case band. These distinct shapes harmonize within a "shape-in-shape" aesthetic. The two-tiered lugs further enhance the case's dynamic presence.

Housed within is the Manufacture's in-house mechanical automatic movement, Caliber 5100. Engineered for an active lifestyle, this movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, offers excellent shock resistance, and provides an extended power reserve of approximately 60 hours thanks to its twin barrels.

Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the rotor features the "Quai de l'Île" collection's signature modern design, adorned with a motif of three dimensional lines.

The dial presents a multi-layered structure, combining blue with an opaline finish. Composed of three distinct sections, it achieves a remarkable sense of depth. Indices and Arabic numerals crafted from white luminescent material enhance legibility.

The watch comes with two straps: a blue alligator leather strap and a rubber strap, both secured by a stainless steel folding clasp.

With its understated elegance, the new "Quai de l'Île" model is designed for effortless daily wear.
