The reference 43040 is a striking example of Vacheron Constantin’s design ingenuity. Featuring a jump hour display, the hours are indicated through a digital aperture while the minutes are shown on a rotating peripheral scale. Inspired by the firm’s Art Deco creations, the model combines vintage charm with modern precision, distinguished by its stepped bezel and straight lugs.
The dial is finely executed with a hand-applied guilloché center, complemented by yellow gold hour markers and an hour window frame, lending the watch a refined and luxurious presence.
