Harmony Chronograph Small Model Pink Gold / Diamond

In Context

At 37 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 11.74 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

5005S/000R-B139 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver matte dial with a pink gold case. Introduced in 2016. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

The 1142 is based on the Lemania 2310, yet it is produced in-house by Vacheron Constantin; the intellectual rights for the movement were first acquired by Roger Dubuis, and this brand was subsequently acquired by Vacheron Constantin's parent company Richemont. It consists of 164 components, including 21 jewels. The movement was first introduced in the ladies Harmony Chronograph Small Model. Caliber 1142 is the successor to caliber 1141, which was also based on the 2310, yet not fully produced in-house.

5 other watches in the library run the Vacheron Constantin 1142.
