About this model:
Founded in 1780 in Paris, Chaumet is one of the oldest French jewelry houses, renowned for its luminous elegance, artisanal mastery, and imperial inspiration.
In the 1960s, this excellence led Chaumet to collaborate with Vacheron Constantin, uniting jewelry savoir-faire with Swiss watchmaking expertise to create timepieces of rare distinction bearing a double signature. Among them, the Vacheron Constantin reference 6990 from 1966 embodies understated sophistication, driven by the celebrated calibre 1003, a hand-wound masterpiece famed for its exceptional thinness and precision. Its slender, refined case, faithful to the aesthetic codes of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, is elevated by the iconic Chaumet signature, adding a Parisian aura of refinement to Genevan horology.
Even today, these double-signed pieces remain highly sought after, standing as a unique dialogue between two exceptional houses and a poetic symbol of the golden age of haute horlogerie, bearing witness to a historic Wedding band between two great luxury maisons.
This model is a distinguished choice for those who appreciate subtle luxury without excess, a rare blend of sophistication and classic refinement.
