In keeping with the long tradition of service, Vacheron Constantin is introducing QUAI DE L’ILE, a new dimension in the art of fine timepieces: offering its customers the opportunity to create their own personalized watch by choosing its components from a large selection of options.

Thanks to a revolutionary case with seven main parts, a choice of three metals (pink gold, palladium, and titanium), and three innovative dials featuring top-secret Security-Printing technology, almost 400 combinations will be available at the launching.

With a striking, bold design this new line is equipped, depending on the model, with one of two mechanical movements: the caliber 2475 SC/1 Quai de l’Ile Day Date and Power Reserve self-winding and the caliber 2460 QH 1 Quai de l’Ile Date self-winding. Both of these self-winding movements are designed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin and stamped with the Geneva Hallmark. The price ranges from $30,000 to $70,000.
