The Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier Unveils a Splendid Ultra-thin Micro-Rotor Movement: delving into the details of the VMF 5500

Published: 05 Jun 2026
Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, a renowned Swiss movement maker, introduces their latest development, the VMF 5500, an ultra-thin, technologically upgraded micro- rotor calibre.

As the world of precision industries anticipates the annual EPHJ Geneva trade fair, Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier raises the curtain on its star attraction, the VMF 5500. Known for their expertise in the creation of high-quality mechanical movements, they now offer an ultra-thin micro-rotor calibre that features improvements over its predecessors, underscoring Vaucher’s unique position within the Swiss watch industry supplier landscape.

A core aspect of the Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier’s appeal lies in their stunning craftsmanship, which hinges on their commitment to quality, reliability, and industrial consistency. They are a part of the Sandoz Family Foundation’s watchmaking division and are part-owned by Hermès.

Addtionally, what sets Vaucher apart is their ability to produce at an industrial scale without compromising on the flexibility and agility of their process. This is made possible thanks to a state-of-the-art industrial infrastructure and cutting-edge machinery. They also leverage the expertise of their sister company, Atokalpa, particularly in areas of regulating organs and precision turning operations.

Despite the likes of Richard Mille, Audemars Piguet, and Hermès, amongst others, powered by Vaucher calibres, the company doesn’t produce in high volumes. Focusing on niche segment products, Vaucher’s credibility holds among knowledgeable collectors and enthusiasts, who appreciate and acknowledge the origin of their exquisite movements. The VMF 5500, with its promise of ultra-thin mechanics and technologically upgraded features, furthers their reputation as an avant-garde movement developer in the Swiss watch industry.
