EMPHASISING THE ESSENCE of form and function, purity in watchmaking aesthetics denotes simplicity and clarity in design. Inspired by the minimalist watches of the 1950s, Vacheron Constantin’s Patrimony collection has been celebrating purity of style and the quest for essentials for 20 years. Reflecting a commitment to excellence, where every component is meticulously crafted to achieve harmony and balance, the Patrimony undeniably possesses a refined beauty that endures through changing trends and fads.
A celebration of watchmaking minimalism, Watches & Wonders 2024 sees the Geneva manufacture debut three new Patrimony variants featuring a new sunburst antique silver-toned dial, new fresh strap colours, a customisable case back and a diameter trimmed to 39mm for the manual-winding models.
Exquisite Purity
At first glance, the design of the Patrimony is so apparently simple: the design is understated, undeniably elegant, timeless yet firmly rooted in the modernity of its era. Hence modifying it without altering its character is a tricky exercise and a demonstration of both skill and restraint.
