VC 1400
Calibre 1400 is a manufacture hand-winding movement from Vacheron Constantin first produced in 2004.
Overview
Vacheron Constantin long relied on ebauche movements from Jaeger-LeCoultre, F. Piguet, and Audemars Piguet, but in 2004 they unveiled their first in-house hand-winding movement. Cal. 1400 is a basic time-only movement, with modern 28,800 A/h frequency and compact 20.65 mm (9 ligne) diameter. It is quite thin, measuring just 2.60 mm, and is made up of just 98 components. It has 20 jewels and bears the Geneva Hallmark.
It was used in Patrimony and Traditionelle models.
Cal. 1400 AS
The similar Cal. 1400 AS features small seconds at 6 00. The size, number of components, power reserve, and jewels remains the same as the basic Cal. 1400. It was used in the "Small Model" Malte watches.
Cal. 1410
The similar Cal. 1410 features a power reserve indicator at 10 30, moon phase indicator at 8 30, and small seconds at 6 00. This adds a bit to the size of the movement, now measuring 26.00 mm in diameter. It was used in the Traditionelle Moon Phase models.
