New calibre with phases of the moon

In 2013, Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier (VMF) opened its manufacture to small-volume brands and watchmakers.

Since then, around thirty companies and private individuals inspired by authentic watchmaking values have come knocking at the door either for personalised movements or complete watches.

In the space of three years, VMF has refined and adapted its service towards the production of complete watches. At the same time, it has expanded its range of prestige movements to include tourbillons, in parallel with all-inclusive solutions. With its new phase of the moon module suitable for an extra-thin skeleton movement, its clients have everything they need to stand out from their peers. Each one can draw on the level of knowledge and service they require. VMF does not limit itself to private label. It offers the services of skilled craftsmen in fifty or more fields, covering around forty high-end proprietary movements and variants finished to a particularly high level.

This year, VMF is making available to watchmaking enthusiasts an extra-thin skeleton movement with phases of the moon and microrotor, the Seed VMF 5401/190. With a thickness of 3.57mm and a frequency of 21,600 A/h (3 Hz), it offers a comfortable power reserve of 48 hours. This calibre is available from orders of ten, with personalisation of the oscillating weight an option.
