Watchmaker Vacheron Constantin is teaming up with a car producer of equally high calibre to create a unique dashboard watch to be housed in a Rolls Royce. The formidable collaboration came about thanks to a client with a passion for luxury cars and fine watches alike.
The unique timepiece, christened Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon, is designed to aesthetically fit into the dashboard of an exquisite Rolls-Royce Coachbuild commission: the Amethyst Droptail. The eight-figure coachbuilt convertible is a bespoke motor car, of which Rolls Royce has pledged to only make four carefully curated models. The only other known model thus far is the sultry La Rose Noire Droptail. The estimated price of the Droptail stands at around 30 million dollars, making it likely the most expensive Rolls Royce to date.
an automobile in 1928, the Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon project represents a first in the company’s modern history. It was executed by the horology house's Les Cabinotiers department, which creates special pieces that fulfil the wishes of its top clients. Let's take a closer look at this highly unusual yet alluring timepiece.
