Vacheron Constantin Excellence Platine and Beverly Hills Celebrities

Glamorous Party

The year 2006 marked the launch of the new Vacheron Constantin watch collection called Collection Excellence Platine in Limited Edition. On November, 15 the exclusive collection was presented at luxurious Gala in Beverly Hills.

Besides enjoying a perfect opportunity to win the hearts of more watch admirers for its novelty collection, Vacheron Constantin followed a charitable purpose - to offer support to the EBMRF (Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation). The foundation represents a volunteer nonprofit organization involved into contributing into the medical research, medication development and cure for the dangerous skin disease that makes children suffer its bad effects.

The Gala was held due to the efforts of Marc Guten, International Director of VC and Julien Tornare, President of VC, North America. The most prominent Hollywood personalities were invited to join the festivity. The A-list included the conglomeration of stars, including Jennifer Aniston, Holly Robinson-Peete, David Arquette, Gavin Rossdale, Alison Janney, Pete Sampras and Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, Rebecca Romijn, Lauren Graham, and Brenda Strong.

All the guests were really charmed by the private performance of John Legend, three-time Grammy Award winner. The organizers of the event set up a custom-made stage over the swimming pool. The musician proudly wore the exclusive Skeleton Minute Repeater in Platinum on his wrist. In the breaks during the John Legend's performance famous DJ, DJ AM, entertained the celebrity guests.

During the event guests had a wonderful opportunity to rest their eyes upon Vacheron Constantin watches from the Collection Excellence Platine and timepieces entering the Heritage collection. Glamorous models wearing designer platinum dresses took part in the event - they demonstrated the brand's watches. Besides simply viewing the masterpieces, the guests could touch and feel the elegant hand craftsmanship of every timekeeping creation.

Vacheron Constantin and Platinum Timepieces

The Vacheron Constantin Company initiated the idea to use platinum in watch manufacturing back in 1820. Platinum was highly appreciated by the brand's watchmakers due to the metal's characteristics corresponding to the highest standards of the sophisticated watch designs. Platinum's density and weight provide the metal's durability, so platinum items are created for a lifetime. A timepiece from platinum is not subject to scratches. Nowadays, the development of fine platinum timepieces has become a Vacheron Constantin well-maintained tradition. The brand has developed its platinum watches in limited editions to gain success among passionate collectors and watch aficionados.

Initially the Collection Excellence Platine was presented to the horology world at SIHH, 2006. The collection comprised the following models: the Perpetual Malte Calendar Grand Complication, the Maitre Cabinotiers Minute Repeater, the Malte Chronograph and the Patrimony Platinum Purist. The watches feature platinum dial with PT950 (the hallmark for platinum), case and strap buckle. They are presented in a gray box out of maple wood.

The gorgeous watches from Collection Excellence Platine prove the fact that platinum items are created not just for kings and queens but for any personality with sophisticated taste. An owner of a timekeeper entering Vacheron Constantin Collection Excellence Platine becomes the member of the prestigious 'club' of true watch connoisseurs and collectors.
