Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, the Vacheron Constantin American 1921 is the proof that unusual bold designs can remain classic and timeless.

Contrary to popular belief, this watch is not a driver's watch but can be considered a “montre à tact” in its literal form as the wearer can clearly see the time thanks to the rotated dial without turning his/her wrist, thus remaining “tactful”. Originally made for the American market in 1919 (crown on the top left of the case) and in 1921 (crown on the top right of the case) the American 1921 was made in 2008, in Vacheron Constantin’s “Historiques” collection as a time only piece which became an instant success with waiting lists of over a year.
