I’d take it any way it comes
A grail watch for me in any metal or dial and there is still room to raise the bar. The raison d’être of the Chronometre Royal was its chronometric qualities over asthetics. Imagine if it was accompanied by a genuine Observatory Bulletin!
Vacheron Constantin Chronomètre Royal Platinum.
Give me a Red 12 and a manual winding movement, and I am in! I don't know who to credit for the first photo, but I will happily credit on request. Best, nicolas ...
I don't smoke either, but would take it up . . .
. . . if I could find this '57 Zippo made for Convair. How cool would that be? 🙂 ...
They are heavy lighters with a nice a click when snapped shut
The PT which sounds exotic would be extremely heavy with a different CLICK... Wearing on your trouser pockets,,,(ex smoker with 3 Dupont lighters in the drawer) Beautiful watch!!
I remember a fantastic post of yours
with what I think you said was a unique piece. Blue dial I believe. Would you mind posting it again?! This piece (this post) is pretty great also.
