The Historiques collection by Vacheron Constantin fake watches breathes new life into the sought-after icons of the Geneva-based Manufacture. It welcomes today an exclusive new chronograph inspired by the first water-resistant and anti-magnetic chronograph presented by Vacheron Constantin in 1955, and one of the three models most fervently sought after by collectors.

Named Cornes de vache 1955 because of its distinctively-shaped lugs, it embodies a singular combination of bold design replica watches UK and absolute technicality.

Alongside its emblematic lugs, the original reference 6087 model featured a 35 mm-diameter round case in 18-carat yellow gold featuring twin “mushroom-type” pushpieces and a screwed-in back. This double-pusher chronograph equipped with a tachometric scale was powered by hand-wound Caliber 492, itself protected against magnetism by a soft iron cage. A highly technical and accurate measuring instrument much appreciated in scientific circles, it nonetheless flaunted the originality of its daring aesthetic characteristics.

The new Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 chronograph suggests a subtle tension between straight and curving lines, created by the traditional round shape of the case topped by stylised elongated and polished lugs. It comes in a 950 platinum 38.5 mm-diameter case water resistant to 30 metres.

The screwed-in caseback is fitted with a transparent sapphire crystal serving to admire its entirely hand-decorated movement. The original layout of the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock is scrupulously reproduced on this reinterpreted version, while its more contemporary diameter enables an airier display ensuring optimal readability of its functions.

The silver-toned opaline dial is punctuated by Roman numerals, applied hour-markers and hands in 18-carat white gold, while the central seconds hand, the 30-minute counter hand and the tachometric scale feature a royal blue shade further enhancing the perfect legibility of its display.

Fitted with two classic round pushpieces, the Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 model houses an exceptional mechanical heart, hand-wound Caliber 1142, beating at a frequency of 3 Hz to ensure the improved precision of the chronograph matched by greater better shock resistance of the balance wheel. Endowed with a 48-hour power reserve, this movement comprising 164 components displays the hours, minutes, small seconds and central chronograph seconds, complemented by a 30-minute counter. Like the other new chronograph movements by Vacheron Constantin, the column-wheel screw is shaped like the Maltese cross that has become the emblem of the Manufacture.

Greatly appreciated by collectors, this type of chronograph is exclusive by nature. In keeping with this tradition, the Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 is issued in a highly exclusive production run that will delight devotees of rare and coveted timepieces.
