This has been written about by nearly everyone with a computer and a wi-fi hookup, so we're just going to go with the images that the good folks at Vacheron sent us -

Some "basics" about the "complicated":

Atelier Cabinotiers Reference 57260, this is a pocket watch of seemingly limitless capabilities.  While I don't think it will make espresso, that may be one of the very few things it can't do ; )

Its Calibre 3750 is mechanical (hand winding), and measures 72 mm in diameter and is 36 mm thick.
