Introducing: Vacheron Constantin Announces Three New Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Models In 36.5mm

Vacheron’s 270th year has been quite the journey—from the Solaria (the most complicated wristwatch ever), to La Quête du Temps, to the relaunch of the 222 in steel (I could keep going…)—and even as the year winds down, this release makes a strong case that they may have saved the best for last. I had the opportunity to see this watch in person a couple of weeks ago, and I was genuinely blown away. A QP that wears this naturally on the wrist at 36.5mm feels like a rare achievement, and it quickly catapulted into my favorite releases of the year. 

QPs, by nature, need space—there’s a lot of information to display, which naturally increases the case size. Here, the reduced dimensions don’t compromise anything. The proportions feel intentional, the typography thoughtful, and the dial never feels crowded.
