Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 White Gold 36.5mm 2025

The Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 White Gold 36.5mm is a faithful reinterpretation of one of the maison’s most distinctive early 20th-century designs, embodying both vintage charm and haute horology craftsmanship. Originally introduced in the 1920s during the height of the Art Deco era, the “American 1921” was created with a diagonally rotated dial and an off-centre crown at the 1 o’clock position, designed to allow drivers to read the time without turning their wrist. The modern 36.5mm white gold version, released in recent years as part of the Historiques collection, stays true to these quirky yet functional aesthetics while offering contemporary finishing and proportions suited to smaller wrists. It is powered by the manual-winding Calibre 4400 AS, an in-house movement with a generous 65-hour power reserve, featuring meticulous hand-finishing that meets the Geneva Seal’s exacting standards. While the watch is time-only, its complication lies in its unique dial orientation and historical provenance, making it a conversation piece as much as a timekeeper. In the Vacheron Constantin lineup, the Historiques collection serves as a bridge between archival masterpieces and modern watchmaking, and the American 1921 holds a special place as one of the brand’s most recognisable and playful designs—an icon that blends elegance, heritage, and unconventional charm.
