Vacheron Constantin:
The Toledo 52 reborn with a full-calendar movement
and a handsom new dial
The mysterious wizardry of a complex horological mechanism always adds a touch of magic to the face of time. A case in point is Vacheron Constantin's nineteen-fifties-era Toledo 1952 design. Centuries of watchmaking experience and pride of craftsmanship come together in its subtly rectangular case. It houses a movement whose auxiliary full-calendar mechanism stylishly enlivens its dial.Displaying the date, day of the week, month and phases of the moon, the three 21st-century Toledo designs form harmonious compositions, with the finest materials enhancing the intricacy of its mechanical heart in a serenely classic spirit.
