... thanks to Vacheron Japan.

I was invited to the lunch event today and I am so grateful for it. I always look forward to Vacheron's event and this was no exception. Nice arrangement, wonderful foods, nice pieces. Nice wine with lunch..... Can't do that if I have a day job

Hope you enjoy the pics as much as I did.....

It's about the season - Loveless!

The surrounding of the venue (Aoyama) is another boutique region.

The restaurant we had dinner at the Lange Akademie last weekend....

And very close-by, here it is.

This is actually NOT restaurant, but a shop (one of those called "Select Shop") and transformed overnight.

The watches on the wall.

14 days Tourbillon!

Wonderful table setting.

"Black & Bronze and Grandes Complication" is the new theme for Vacheron.

Mr. Gouget, Vaceron Constantin Japan Brand CEO, opening remark in fluent Japanese (reading the script, but good pronunciation

Ah, sorry, forgot to take the main course..... Very nice beef cheek with red wine, carrot puree.....

And desert....

My right hand neighbor's VC in 60s.... Very nice...

My left hand side neighbor was Mr. Gouget himself and this is his "baby".

Nice on my wrist, isn't it?

Thank you very much, Mr. Gouget and Vacheron Constantin Japan staff for wonderful lunch. I felt fortunate to be able to go home right after this

Got to have one of these!

Best,
Ken
