Vacheron Constantin signs with Abbey Road Studios

It's on this very road, at number three, that the Fab Four made virtually all their recordings between 1962 and 1969, at the EMI Studios - now known to the world as the Abbey Road studios Famous film scores have been set down here, including The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Raiders of the Lost Ark Vacheron Constantin couldn't have imagined a more fitting venue for the international launch of its Fiftysix® collection.

The launch of the collection coincided with the announcement of a partnership between the watchmaker and Abbey Road Studios "We couldn't have imagined a more apposite partner than Abbey Road Studios to accentuate our presence in the world of music Our collaboration opens up infinite creative possibilities" News of the partnership comes hot on the heels of the brand's latest communications campaign, "One of not Many".

Of course, no-one comes to a party empty-handed, hence Vacheron Constantin took advantage of the occasion to present an addition to the range and a new complication: the Fiftysix® Tourbillon The Fiftysix® collection takes root in a vintage Vacheron Constantin watch from 1956: reference 6073 Not only was this one of the first Vacheron Constantin watches to be equipped with an automatic movement, it was housed inside a watertight case - another rarity for a mid-century timepiece.
