The exquisite handmade decoration on the dial


"Vacheron Constantin" captivates many Japanese people with its elegant and refined charm. The brand's relationship with Japan dates back exactly 100 years, to 1917. Its mastery and high quality were appreciated, particularly by the aristocracy of the time. Over time, the company began offering watches tailored to the Japanese market, giving rise to a unique design known as the "Japanese-style dial." Now, a special model commemorating 100 years of friendship with Japan is being released in a limited edition of 75 pieces.


The "Traditionnelle Japan 100th Anniversary Model" is a timepiece embodying Vacheron Constantin's "tradition" to date. From the stepped bezel on the round case to the case back engraved with a coin-edge pattern, a timeless and classical design permeates every detail.


The 38mm diameter case is crafted from 18K white gold, and the exquisitely delicate hand-engraved dial is the true "highlight" of this model. The unique decoration by master artisans evokes a sunrise, and at the 12 o'clock position, the inscription "Japan 100 years limited edition" is subtly engraved. This beautiful decorative motif also complements the understated and elegant dial design, allowing one to enjoy "The Japanese Style."




The mechanical hand-wound movement bears the Geneva Seal hallmark.


The elegant black alligator strap is complemented by a pin buckle featuring a polished half-Maltese cross, inspired by the Maison's symbol.


It is a special edition that embodies the "tradition" of Geneva's great watchmaking in the modern era.
