Vacheron Constantin Makes Dreams Come True With Les Cabinotiers Westminster Sonnerie – Tribute to Johannes Vermeer
Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter of the 17th century who was known to be able to capture light as no other artist could. He had a fondness for household scenes, which he painted in an intimate, lifelike style. While only 36 paintings of his hand are known today, some of them are amongst the world's most famous works of art. While many are familiar with his masterpieces "View of Delft" or "The Milkmaid," they are both surpassed in popularity by the "Girl with a Pearl Earring." This painting shows elegance, unlike any other. That's why it was also a daunting task for Vacheron Constantin to recreate it on one side of their Les Cabinotiers Westminster Sonnerie at the request of a discerning connoisseur.

History Repeating With The New Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater
The Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre is an icon in its own right.

Four Perpetual Delights To Cherish Forever
A perpetual calendar remains one of the most coveted complications. While there is in today's high-tech world no particular need anymore for such a mechanical timepiece, its complexity remains mesmerizing. Unlike an annual calendar, does a perpetual one not even need adjusting in the leap years. This unique feature is very challenging to make and means that, when it runs continuously, it doesn't need manual adjustment for decades, sometimes even centuries. Watch brands also love to take this esteemed complication to the next level, from both a technical as well as an aesthetical point of view. The following four are perfect examples of this and crafted to be cherished forever.

Haute Complication: Patek Philippe Ref.5905 Annual Calendar Chronograph
Complications are great, but a combination of them is even better. The Ref.5905 Annual Calendar Chronograph delivers just that, in a way only Patek Philippe can do. With its first annual calendar introduced in 1996, the brand is actually the inventor of this complication. As it only needs manual adjusting every February of each year, it is less complex and expensive than a perpetual calendar, but far more convenient than a regular one. Ref.5905 also taps into the long-standing tradition at Patek Philippe to merge a calendar complication with a chronograph. No wonder that it quickly amassed its own share of admirers.
