Catalogue Essay
Paying homage to the legendary manual-winding chronograph Cornes de Vache reference 6087 from 1955 is the present modern iteration reference 5000H/000A-B582. Distinctive with its seductive appeal, the moniker ‘Cornes de Vache’, meaning ‘bull’s horns’, reflects the flamboyant and powerfully curved lugs, present on both the vintage and this modern iteration. With its 38.5mm stainless steel case, it has a decidedly modern appearance and size, bringing the Vacheron Constantin model into the modern era. Boasting similar DNA such as pump pushers and blue chronograph hand, the modern iteration bears larger chronograph registers compared to its original.
The true star of the show, is the movement within. Exhibited through the sapphire caseback is the beautifully crafted calibre 1142. Engineered based on the Lemania caliber 2310 with a column wheel-controlled, lateral clutch chronograph calibre equipped with a large balance, the movement features a Breguet overcoil balance spring. Together with a total of 164 components beating at 3 Hz, the timepiece provides a power reserve of 48 hours and is stamped with the approval of the prestigious Geneva seal.
On the wrist, the Cornes de Vache wears extremely well, furthermore, the present example is paired with a black crocodile strap with racing red stitching, giving it an extra sporty look for the classic chronograph. Offered in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its full set of accessories, this is the perfect watch to wear for a Sunday morning drive.

Artist Biography
Vacheron Constantin
Swiss
• 1755
The world's oldest watch brand in continuous operation since its founding in 1755, Vacheron Constantin was the first watch company to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts beginning in 1839. Vacheron's watches are admired for their Latin-influenced case designs, well-balanced proportions and exquisitely finished movements of the highest quality. The Geneva-based manufacturer is known for their highly complicated masterpieces, including the King Farouk Grand Complication made in 1935, the Tour de l'Ile that was the most complicated serially produced wristwatch when introduced in 2005 and the 57260 — the world’s most complicated watch — made in 2015.
Key vintage models include minute repeating wristwatches such as the references 4261, chronographs such as the references 4178 and 6087 and the oversized Cioccolotone models such as ref. 4737. Collectors also appreciate Vacheron's Chronometer Royal pocket and wristwatches, as well as the '222,' the brand's first luxury sports watch produced from 1977 through 1984.
