Named for the birth year of its founder Jean-Marc Vacheron, the new Vacheron Constantin Calibre 1731 measures only 3.90 mm and bears the prestigious Geneva Seal. It sits in the aptly named Patrimony Contemporaine Ultra-Thin Calibre 1731, itself a svelte 8.09 mm thick, making it the thinnest minute repeater in production today. Collectors are well aware of Vacheron’s history with striking watches; in fact the brand’s Caliber 1755 which debuted in 1992 and exited production in 2010 was even thinner than the Caliber 1731 at 3.28mm.
