Born from the desire to pay tribute to Vacheron Constantin's rich heritage, the Historiques American 1921 revives the emblematic model launched in 1921 specifically designed for the American market during the Roaring Twenties. It was a time of economic prosperity with a distinctive artistic and cultural dynamism. Jazz was blossoming, the flapper was redefining women’s fashion, and Art Deco was on its peak. With this new era came a new kind of wristwatch – a watch embodying the ethos of artistic freedom and expression. When it came out, the Vacheron Constantin 1921 broke all the codes of traditional watches commonly presented in a rectangular or round case.

The present timepiece sports a polished 18K pink gold cushion-shaped case with a crown positioned at 1 o'clock. With its 40 mm diameter, the watch has a great presence on the wrist. Classically inspired, elegant, yet original, this Historiques American 1921 is the watch for "dandy" by excellence – fit to party in a tux as much as with a pair of jeans and an ivy cap. The dial has been embellished with a sandblasted finish, featuring Breguet numerals and a railway minute track that can be read diagonally. Fitted with a domed sapphire crystal, the watch features a transparent caseback allowing its beholder to admire the exceptional finishes of the movement housing the hand-wound calibre 4400 AS stamped with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève.

The Historiques American 1921 should delight connoisseurs and amateurs of both classic and daring Haute Horlogerie who are looking for pieces of a different time.
