Interview with Christian Selmoni

An in-depth discussion about retrograde displays past and present

WorldTempus’ Suzanne Wong sits down with Vacheron Constantin’s Christian Selmoni, Style & Heritage Director, for a chat about the brand’s latest retrograde timepieces. They discuss how the retrograde complication has been a key mechanism in the history of the maison, dating back to the 1920s and the Art Déco period. They discuss why this type of display has remained so popular over the last 100 years, how to keep it contemporary, the technical challenges behind it and the new timepieces that are being released this year.
