Traditionnelle Haute Joaillerie

In Context

At 40 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 8.76 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. 65 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

82761/QC1G-9852 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a paved dial with a white gold case. Introduced in 2014.

The 4400 is Vacheron Constantin's hand-wound movement with a 65-hour reserve, made for the Métiers d'Art and the Traditionnelle. It has 127 parts, 21 jewels and the Hallmark of Geneva in a 28.6 mm caliber. It powers 18 watches in this library. It beats at 28,800 vph and stores 65 hours in a single barrel, long for a hand-wound movement, with hours and minutes and no seconds, which leaves a decorated dial uninterrupted. The [4400 AS](/calibers/vacheron-constantin-4400-as) adds a small seconds for the Traditionnelle and the American 1921. In the library it powers 12 [Métiers d'Art](/brands/vacheron-constantin/metiers-d-art) references at 37 mm, the Florilège series with its enamel botanical plates among them, 4 [Traditionnelles](/brands/vacheron-constantin/traditionnelle), one [Les Cabinotiers](/brands/vacheron-constantin/artelier-cabinotiers-special-order) and one [Patrimony](/brands/vacheron-constantin/patrimony). 13 are limited editions. The [1400](/calibers/vacheron-constantin-1400) is the smaller hand-wound movement of the Patrimony, and the [2460 SC](/calibers/vacheron-constantin-2460-sc) the automatic beside it.

17 other watches in the library run the Vacheron Constantin 4400.
