Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 in white gold ref. 82035/000G-B735. Also knows as “Drivers” watch. The story goes, that in 1921, a client reached out to Vacheron Constantin to develop a watch for him that would be very legible when driving his car. And so they did (as apparently, that’s how things went down in those days). Vacheron Constantin created a watch that could be read while the driver keeps their hands on the steering wheel. All the brand needed to do was rotate the dial a little bit (had they decided to use a movement with three centrally-mounted hands). But instead, Vacheron Constantin used a movement with a small seconds dial at 3 o’clock. Consequently, the entire movement needed to rotate 45 degrees. As such, the crown is positioned on the upper right corner of the case. This sub-dial selection was likely to keep the watch as slim as possible, but it does seem to have made the whole exercise a tad more complicated than necessary. However, the resulting aesthetic has since become iconic for Vacheron. The watch is in mint condition, small hairlines on the case which i tried to capture. Comes as a complete set, warranty dated early 2023.
