Vacheron Constantin Chronometer

Описание: Before GPS, sailors used precision chronometers like this 1929 Vacheron Constantin to navigate the oceans. Set to Greenwich Mean Time, this maritime timepiece determined longitude through celestial navigation - measuring when the sun or stars crossed the ship’s meridian to calculate exact position.

Housed in its original mahogany deck box, this “Heure exacte” chronometer was built to maintain perfect accuracy even in rough seas. Crafted by the world’s oldest continuously operating watchmaker since 1755, it represents the pinnacle of navigation technology from an era when precise timekeeping meant survival at sea. Crafted in 1929.
