About a month before Watches & Wonders, a Vacheron Constantin team member told me something big would come from the Maison just ahead of the trade show. They also told me they thought I would be uniquely suited to cover the news, which to me meant only one thing: there was a pocket watch coming from Vacheron. For all the jokes from friends and colleagues, my passion for horology started with pocket watches, and I will forever be curious when a modern brand taps into that old style of watchmaking to do something interesting. But when I found out what Vacheron had in store, it wasn't just interesting, it was historic. As it turns out, the watch was called the Berkley Grand Complication, the most complicated watch in the world, and I knew that had to see it for myself.

Incredible piece. Would love to be the employee tasked with winding that every couple days

You'd need a big pocket for that bad boy! Impressive though!

Proof positive that sometimes you should build something just because you can.

The billionaire who commissioned it has very ‘deep pockets’!

I mean, any timepiece can be a pocket watch if your pockets are big enough 😅

As Del boy would say - that’s a fantastic Victorian egg timer - on a serious note that’s not just a watch that’s a Rembrandt Vacheron are on top of the world right now

Cristian is the coolest guy in the watch industry. One of the bigger reasons I go VC over PP

Love the vibe of this video. But I would have also loved to hear the grand sonnerie of this watch.

@tonyl7000 27 дней назад

I would be terrified to touch that watch... 1 drop and it's all over...

It’s amazing, but surely more of a clock than a pocket watch??

@shuycg 22 дня назад

OMG, there's a long scratch on the bezel at 9. Imagine having to polish this piece for stretches like that. Surely they'll have to do that before handing it to the guy that ordered it. It must have picked up a few while being paraded for months.

Can someone that knows much much more about watches than I give me the name of that crazy pulsating spring inside the tourbillion?

@BulletBeena 27 дней назад

At what point does a watch become a clock?

@carlb86 26 дней назад

When you wall or desk mount it.

Took them long enough to make a complicated wach to rival the grandmaster chime

Here’s a thought / challenge - Einstein had a theory that TIME was relative ,Vacheron are the kings of time and so I challenge VC to make me a watch that makes my time the most pleasant and inspiring that it can be - design and build a time piece for me that makes this theory become reality .
