To mark 100 years since the Russian Revolution, Fabergé presents a chronograph of revolutionary significance in the horological cosmos, paying homage to the unfinished Constellation Egg of 1917.
The Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph marks a new standard in charting time. Hours and minutes are read at the periphery of the watch dial while the chronograph function takes centre stage. The automatic calibre 6361, developed in partnership with Agenhor, offers a new intuitive chronograph display. It is a revolutionary new movement that imparts unprecedented clarity, precision and efficiency to the highly popular chronograph complication. It is the modern-day analogy to a Fabergé egg — a mechanical opus with wonder at its heart.
The timepiece features an opaline dial with TCI luminescent coated 15-minute indicators, sapphire with metallic treatment and applied numerals and hour indicators and an automatic chronograph movement, developed by Agenhor, encased in a 43mm black ceramic and DLCtreated titanium case.
Aurelie Picaud, Global Timepieces Director, said: “Fabergé is honoured to be taking part in the important Only Watch project. The first deliveries of the new Visionnaire Chronograph were due to take place in November; however, Fabergé has worked closely with its external work-masters to ensure the first Chronograph was available to dedicate to this special cause. Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and his team at Agenhor developed the revolutionary chronograph movement that is housed in this watch and Someco has created the bespoke dial, so we’re thrilled to offer a special-edition Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph to the Only Watch initiative.”
“We would also be delighted to offer the opportunity to visit the workshops and meet the talented
artisans.”
