With the release of caliber 2160 in 2018, Vacheron Constantin introduced a groundbreaking in-house manufactured self-winding tourbillon movement. This movement features a tourbillon carriage that rotates once per minute, enhancing the overall precision. Vacheron cleverly opted for a peripherally mounted 22k gold rotor, which elegantly skirts the outer edges of the finely decorated movement. This design keeps the entire movement remarkably slim at just 5.65mm, visible through the sapphire caseback, and boasts an impressive power reserve of approximately 80 hours.

In 2021, The Hour Glass Japan celebrated its 25th anniversary since its establishment in 1996. The retailer also marked the 10th anniversary of its current location in Ginza, which opened in April 2010. To commemorate these milestones, The Hour Glass Ginza underwent a complete renovation and created a very special edition of the Traditionnelle Tourbillon in platinum. This limited edition pays tribute to the important retailer, known for supporting both established watchmaking powerhouses and independent brands. A total of 12 pieces were created across two editions, and the present example is numbered 1, featuring a mesmerizing blue asymmetrical rose engine guilloché pattern.

Offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, this example will be a significant addition to any tourbillon collection, designed to be worn on exquisite occasions.
