An extraordinary sight, made possible by a no less extraordinary �C and of course exclusive �C mechanical development under the dial. Building on a tried and tested selfwinding movement, this horological ��complication�� puts in play a series of truly original devices: broad rotating hour ��crown�� wheel, positioning fingerpieces and pivoting hour-figure-bearing satellites driven by Maltese crosses reminiscent of Vacheron Constantin��s long-established corporate symbol. Not a few watchmakers would doubtless be stunned at the sight��before applauding so remarkable an accomplishment.
