Vacheron Constantin

Absolutely outstanding!

 

This is pure Art: the dial, the caliber, everything in this watch is a beauty.

Probably not the easiest one to read the time at a glance, but that gives the time to admire this creation instead of simply looking at the time without paying attention to the watch.

It's almost a problem: the watch is so beautiful that you look at it and you forget to look what time it is.

The pair with the Mercator is stunning. Huge congrat's! Wear them in good health Joseph!

Best,

Mike

In 2006, I visited the new Vacheron Manufacture just outside of Geneva for the first time. One of the watches that caught my eye was the new Tribute to the Great Explorers. I saw it for the first time (the Magellan version), in a disassembled state and ma...

The Christopher Columbus is such a beautiful watch, and the perfect complement to your enamel Mercator. Wear it in the best of health! Bill

Thank you, Bill

Joseph, you are killing me with your new acquisitions. It's a good thing, however. This Explorer really complements not only your enamel Mercator but really adds to your growing collection of Vacheron's alternative time displays. We need a family portrait... 

Thanks very much, Robert

I'll try to get a "family portrait" together in the near future. The movement I believe is the same as the Sputnik watch. Regards, Joseph

You are my hero Joseph!

You have a most coherent vision of what you want and the cojones to get 'em too :-))

Awww shucks!

It's not an usual watch and it seems to add up perfectly with its twin exceptionnal VC. Two versions of a similar interpretation of giving time. Thanks for the pictures and the share. Cheers, Mark

Thank you

You're right. It's difficult to take your eyes off the watch. And when you try to to check the time, you find your eyes wandering over the dial :-) Best, Joseph
