Custom design collaboration: Vacheron Constantin & Rolls-Royce

The new Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon, specially designed for the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail, has become a very hot issue! We're taking a closer look at the features of this vehicle.

The watch is a passion... What about automobiles? So let's think about these two powerful concepts together. Vacheron Constantin is here with a new product that will be the favorite of both automotive and horological precision mechanical enthusiasts: Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon. This dashboard watch was included in the interior of the Rolls Royse Amethyst Droptail this year by Geneva-based world brand Vacheron Constantin. Taking its name from the history of watchmaking and the tradition of this craft dating back to the 18th century, Les Cabinotiers offers both automobile and watch enthusiasts an irresistible visual feast. 

The design, which is the result of a collaboration with Rolls Royce Coachbuild designers, consists of a watch section placed on a base that allows the front to be in harmony with the wooden panels.

Although its price is said to be around 30 million dollars, the new Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon was launched at a press conference recently, with a budget that has not yet been clearly detailed. It has already taken its place among the unique parts to be produced only on order.
