Vacheron Constantin 2009 watches
This year, Vacheron Constantin uses and rare metal tantalum for the first time to make its luxury watch.
The new model is called Quai de l’Ile. The special one-of-kind watch represents the state-of-the-art technological achievement from the old Swiss watch maker, and will be presented at the charity auction to be held in Monaco on 24th this month. There is only two weeks left before the aution opens.
Not only had Vacheron Constantin never yet made a watch in tantalum, but its original dial was also the object of cutting-edge research conducted by the Vacheron Constantin teams, thereby ensuring the unique nature of this model specially intended to raise funds for the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy.
While Vacheron Constantin had thus far used the whole range of precious metals to be found within the watch industry, including palladium which also appears on the sides and crown of the ONLY WATCH ’09 model, many long months of technical development were required to create the tantalum case with its innovative structure consisting of seven main elements and enabling a successful alliance between the two metals. It seems the new trend for 2009 watch design is to use rare metals to built in the watch.
Vacheron Constantin is considered to be the oldest watchmaker in the world, with its its representatives claiming that the company’s foundation year is 1755.
Although the replica watches won’t use precious metals to make the watch, they still have the same look as the orginal watch. Buy a Vacheron Constantin replica watch, you can enjoy looking at it every day.
