Saturn
1177
Been pottering around...
my hard-drive, organizing things and have unearthed a plethora of various interesting scans and other information. Among them is a scan of this Vacheron Constantin pocketwatch, originally bought by Boulent Raoul and presented to his King Farouk of Egypt, and the most complicated timepiece ever to emerge from the Genevan house. It has the following complications: minute repeater, grande and petite sonnrie strike chain, moon phase perpetual calendar, split seconds chronograph with 30 minute instantaneous recorder and alarm, and power reserve indicators for both going and striking trains; an amazing watch.
I know that this watch is detailed in Lamerlet C Coen ?The World of Vacheron Constantin?, and that there are some great images of it within that book, assuming that I can find it ? I know that I do have this book ?somewhere?.
Again, I am unsure of these scans provenance. I suspect that they are from another wristwatch forum, and I hope that I am not treading upon any toes by posting them here.
Many Regards,
Andrew.
