Historiques Cornes de vache 1955
in a Nutshell
As part of its Historiques collection,
Vacheron Constantin presents
a steel version of its emblematic
“Cornes de vache” model, the Maison’s
first water-resistant chronograph
launched in 1955. Immediately
recognisable by its distinctive
cow horn-like lugs, this model is
now one of the most sought-after
among collectors. This reissue,
aesthetically faithful to the original,
is adapted to current watchmaking
standards. The diameter of
the case, which is water-resistant
to 30 metres, has been increased
to 38.5 mm. It now houses manual-winding
chronograph Calibre
1142, beating at 21,600 vibrations
per hour and endowed with a 48-
hour power reserve. This movement
powers timekeeping functions
including small seconds as
well as chronograph functions with
a central seconds hand and minutes
counter appearing on a grey
velvet-finish opaline dial, embellished
with two snailed counters
and a white counter. The crafting of
the strap in patinated dark brown
calf leather was entrusted to the
traditional Milanese leather goods
Maison Serapian, founded in 1928,
which has thus undertaken its first
collaborative endeavour with Vacheron
Constantin.
