Product Details

This reference 49150 is one of only 50 pieces to be produced as part of a collaboration between Vacheron Constantin and the Japan-based automobile magazine, Engine. An intriguing fusion of car and watch design, it is an excellent visual representation of both passions.

Created in collaboration with the Japanese magazine Engine in 2007, this reference 49150 is a playful, automotive-inspired take on the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph, taking it from ocean to road. Only 50 pieces were made for this limited-edition series, making this an exceptionally rare example that is hardly seen on the market.

The design of the dial is very clearly inspired by automobiles, imitating the look of the speedometer and dashboard. The centre of the dial is constructed from carbon fibre, giving the watch a distinctive texture that is in keeping with its aesthetic and inspiration. The watch also makes use of stainless steel for the case and bracelet and titanium for bezel, as indicated by “Ss/Ti” on the caseback of the watch. It is believed that this was the first time that Vacheron Constantin used carbon fibre and titanium in this way, for the dial and bezel, speaking to the spirit of experimentation embodied by this watch.

There are subtle design cues on the bezel and surrounding ring of the watch that also reference cars, such as “Engine Start” and “Km/h – Base 1km”, while accents on the watch are rendered in bright red and white. Further to this, the dial’s chronograph indicators are positioned in the same way that a car’s would be, with their zero positions aligned at 7:30, rather than at 12 o’clock. Visually, this gives the impression that the chronograph is sitting on the start line, ready to race into motion. An intriguing fusion of cars and watches, this piece is an excellent visual representation of the overlap between both interests and is ideal for the collector who has a deep passion for both.

If sold within the United Kingdom, this Vacheron Constantin Overseas 49150 “Engine” will be subject to 20% VAT.
