FABERGÉ UNVEILS CHRONOGRAPH

1 Minute Read

Today, Wednesday 8th March 2017, precisely 100 years after the start of the Russian Revolution, Fabergé unveils a chronograph of revolutionary significance in the horological cosmos and pays tribute to the unfinished Constellation Egg of 1917.

The constellations of the universe allow us not only to look back into the history of the stars and galaxies, but also to measure accurately the time that has elapsed as our universe, and the story of humankind on Earth, continue to unfold.

The synthesis of starry constellations and their relationship with the measurement of time sets the stage on which Fabergé is delighted to present the Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph, linking the events of 100 years ago with those of today.

The design and development of the Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph began three years ago. Work on its revolutionary movement commenced almost a decade ago. The spiritual genesis of the watch was written in Imperial Russia 100 years ago. As an homage to the unfinished Constellation Egg of 1917, the Visionnaire Chronograph carries a laser-engraved etching of the egg, visible only to those who know where to seek it.

The Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph marks a new standard of charting time. Hours and minutes are read at the periphery of the watch dial while the chronograph function takes centre stage. This is made possible through the calibre construction by Agenhor; the automatic calibre 6361, AgenGraph, a revolutionary new movement that imparts unprecedented clarity, precision and efficiency to the highly popular chronograph complication.

It is the modern-day analogue to a Fabergé egg — a mechanical opus with wonder at its heart.

The enduring desirability of Fabergé lies not only in its exquisite workmanship and heritage, but in the promise of discovering what lies within and beyond, the beginning of a story that is uniquely yours.

The stars, and the time they measure, have seen many stories start and end. Some stories end abruptly. Others echo down the eons. Start your chronograph. #StartYourStory.

The Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph will be unveiled at BASELWORLD 2017.
