The Dual Moon Grand Complication is a highly complex model distinguished by the legibility of its hourly and astronomical functions, stemming from Vacheron Constantin’s characteristic design quest focused on the essentials.
A single-piece edition created by Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers department, this double-sided Dual Moon Grand Complication watch with its 11 time-related and astronomical complications regulated by a tourbillon and enhanced by a minute repeater radiates a rare degree of elegance.
There is perfect legibility of the functions as well as the meticulous care devoted to the details of the decoration and finishing. The result is an understated and complex watch endowed with self-evident functions.
The front thus features the precision double moon-phase display, with its age, an impressive show staged in the dial centre and complemented by the hours, minutes and perpetual calendar indicators. The latter is notably distinguished by its retrograde date, a Vacheron Constantin technical and aesthetic signature. Astronomical indications appear on the reverse side of the watch with the time of the sidereal day – which is four minutes shorter than the civil day – and with a sky chart showing the position of the constellations in real time.
The back of the watch also features an opening revealing the tourbillon and its Maltese cross-shaped carriage. Incorporating a minute repeater chiming the hours, quarters and minutes on demand, the model is powered by Calibre 2755 TMRCC QP, whose base movement represents one of the brand’s major developments.
