FROM FUNCTIONALITY TO LEGEND
Knowing the time while keeping your hands on the wheel or while captivating an audience with an impassioned speech is the most remarkable feature of this diagonal watch. This highly original display – made possible via a counter-clockwise 45-degree rotation of the movement – was created by Vacheron Constantin in the 1920s for a car-loving American customer. Extravagance and stringent standards become one.
