subir fotoVacheron Constantin is another of the few lucky manufacturers given the opportunity to use Lemania ebauches.
The Lemania caliber 2320 eventually became the Vacheron caliber 1141, found in the Les Historiques chronograph, known as reference 49002. Although there are very slight and minor differences between the caliber 2310 and 2320, the overall design between the two is the same. Just like the Patek Philippe version of the Lemania ebauche, the Vacheron Constantin example comes with its own healthy share of exceptional hand finishing.
The finely polished edges, only microns thick, and symmetrical Geneva waves, exude a balanced contrast to the Patek Philippe version. The difference is the price, where the Patek Philippe versions tend to be priced higher than Vacheron Constantin’s offerings.
Over the years, Lemania ebauches have become less available, partly due to the Swatch Group’s decision to limit the number of movements produced across all subsidiaries, not just Lemania. I only hope we to get to see a resurgence of Lemania 2310’s and 2320’s being used by such esteemed brands.
