Métiers d'Art Tribute to Traditional Symbols - Moonlight Slivers / White Gold

In Context

At 38 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 9.88 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 winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 40 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

2405A/000G-H021 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue gloss dial with a white gold case. It was a limited edition.

Automatic movement with minutes and hours, developed and crafted in-house by Vacheron Constantin. Oscillating at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this self-winding calibre equipped with a 22-carat gold oscillating weight ensures an approximately 40-hour power reserve. In line with the grand tradition of calibres from the Manufacture, the bridges are manually cut out and bevelled, the sides are hand-drawn with file strokes and each screw is meticulously polished.

3 other watches in the library run the Vacheron Constantin 2460.
