The American 1921, named after the year the watch was produced in, was introduced in an innovative fashion that captured the zeitgeist of the Roaring Twenties, such that it carried a diagonally placed dial designed for a more convenient reading of time without the wrist having to turn. The present Historiques reinterpretation of the American 1921 maintains all the classy touches of the old Vacheron model, with Arabic numerals on a white dial in a pink gold case.
The present model also retains that American 1921 crown between the one and two o’clock position, manually wound to power the movement. This watch is designed as a modern iteration of a vintage style and function, adapting it to modern quality while leaving appreciation for the Roaring Twenties fashion.
