For the first time, it features a luminous blue dial paired with a black PVD-treated steel case, with the “Pièce Unique” engraving on the titanium case back and the Hausmann & Co. logo alongside the Roman numeral “CCXXX”.
A unique piece of Ludovic Ballouard’s Upside Down watch, celebrating 230 years of Hausmann & Co. by integrating the numerals of this historic milestone within the rotating “3 o’clock” disc, highlighted by a diamond set in the blue of the dial.
To mark the 225th anniversary of the historic Roman watch and jewelry company and the opening of the Patek Philippe Boutique, the Geneva-based watchmaker has created an exclusive collection of timepieces that pays homage to its historic partner and the city of Rome.
For two hundred and twenty-five years, Hausmann & Co. has marked the time of the capital, and Patek Philippe has developed the leitmotif of the entire collection around the lexical construction of the number 225.
The opportunity to celebrate 160 years of collaboration is a unique opportunity afforded us by the history of our two Maisons. The story of Vacheron Constantin and Hausmann & Co. is one of friendship and collaboration, one that has transcended changes not only in the watchmaking industry, but also in social customs, economic rules, and even the structure of nations.
There are watches that simply mark the passage of time, and others that tell a story. The Special Edition created by A. Lange & Söhne to celebrate ten years of collaboration with Hausmann & Co. undoubtedly belongs to the latter category: a timepiece that brings together a tribute to tradition, excellence, and rebirth.
Two centuries of activity for the Hausmann & Co. company. A company that is today a leading corporate group in the Italian watchmaking and jewelry scene, one of the oldest watch shops in the world.
