World Time wristwatches started appearing first in the 1930s, via a mechanism developed by Louis Cottier involving a single dial with a rotating city wheel completing the 24 time zones. Being one of the oldest manufacturers of timepieces, Vacheron Constantin World Time watch was first introduced in 1946 and it was the first self-winding world time wristwatch made, which was sold in 1957 under the ref. 6213.
In 2016, the firm incorporated the important world time complication to the iconic Overseas model. Exuding a sporty appeal yet packed with robustness and charisma, the ref. 7700V displays the most complete world time with 37 different time zones including those that are off-set by half an hour to quarter of an hour. Encased in its iconic angular stainless steel case with its half-Maltese bezel and integrated bracelet, the blue dial with white and grey accents certainly provides a clear legibility while retaining its color coordinated appeal. Equipped with a quick release strap system, the model is accompanied by an additional rubber strap that requires no tools to remove and swap increasing its practicality for the discerned jetsetter.
The world's oldest watch brand in continuous operation since its founding in 1755, Vacheron Constantin was the first watch company to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts beginning in 1839. Vacheron's watches are admired for their Latin-influenced case designs, well-balanced proportions and exquisitely finished movements of the highest quality. The Geneva-based manufacturer is known for their highly complicated masterpieces, including the King Farouk Grand Complication made in 1935, the Tour de l'Ile that was the most complicated serially produced wristwatch when introduced in 2005 and the 57260 — the world’s most complicated watch — made in 2015.
Key vintage models include minute repeating wristwatches such as the references 4261, chronographs such as the references 4178 and 6087 and the oversized Cioccolotone models such as ref. 4737. Collectors also appreciate Vacheron's Chronometer Royal pocket and wristwatches, as well as the '222,' the brand's first luxury sports watch produced from 1977 through 1984.
