A POEM RINGS IN MY HEAD every time I see Vacheron Constantin's Patrimony moon phase retrograde date. It's from John Milton's Comus, and the excerpt that keeps repeating itself goes, "Thou fair Moon/That wont'st to love the traveller's benison/Stoop thy pale visage through an amber cloud/And disinherit Chaos." Milton's poetry reflects the calm simplicity of the night in an elegance of language that makes it timeless.

The new timepiece continues the maison's great stylistic and technical tradition. It is understated in its luxury and characteristic of the Patrimony collection yet astounding in its technical complexity.
