The 1955 model represents a round case ultra-thin Bedat CO Replica watches with a caliber 1003 movement, only 1.64mm thick, the watch having a total height of just 4.10mm. This results in the Ultra-Fine 1955 being the thinnest watch in the world. The mechanical manual winding movement is based on the original caliber 1003 from 1955, but rebuilt in 18ct gold and bearing the Hallmark of Geneva.This Hallmark of Geneva can only be applied when the movement complies to 12 technical and style criteria which are outlined on the Vacheron Constantin website (click here to visit the Hallmark of Geneva section). Below is a picture of the rebuilt caliber 1003 movement in 18ct gold by Vacheron Constantin:The Ultra-Fine 1968 model is a square case timepiece, using Vacheron Constantins caliber 1120 movement, as introduced in 1966 and produced since the end of 1967. Below you see a picture of both timepieces. Vacheron Constantins caliber 1120 movement has been based Bedat CO Replica watches on Jaeger-LeCoultres caliber 920.

In todays world of horology, it seems that watches cant be bulky enough while a few decades ago, it showed true craftsmanship when a time piece was as flat as possible.
