www.vacheron-constantin.com The ultimate in master watchmaking is the complication watch, a speciality of Vacheron Constantin. In watchmaking terms, “a complication watch” is one that offers information over and above the basic functions of timekeeping (hour, minute, and second). This information may be presented visually, in the form of displays of dual-time zones, astronomical date, simple or perpetual calendars, and (in chronographs) the measurement of short periods of time, or aurally as in watches with striking mechanisms of which the minute-repeater is the most sophisticated.
