A Toast to the 1950’s!!
Collecting vintage Vacheron Constantin watches has been one of the high points of my collecting history. I had focused on round watches from the 1940s through the 1960s, but it is the middle part of that era that I think I would call Vacheron Constantin...
Aronde 1954, that is just an awesome piece ...
which I agree deserves more attention. I like it especially for its dial and case. But all other watches shown aren´t that bad as well ... :-) Thanks for sharing! Oliver
Thank you, Oliver....
I really like all the watches in the Historiques collection. Bill
Sometimes, I think you post just to torture me, Bill.
;-) Your former Chronometre Royal makes me salivate. I got it bad and that ain't good. That black dial automatic is a pure beauty. It is always such a disarming pleasure to see black dials on vintage V&Cs. Now, as for the Historiques models...I know y...

Thank you, BT.....
looking forward to the day when you get a VC in the collection! Bill
The Toledo 1951 continues to haunt me....
Bill, you are the Vlad for VC! Spreading VC poison here!! Love your photos of the various Historique pieces. The Toledo is still my favorite :) Like you I am starting to like non-round watches more and more cheers robin
Some people call me an enabler.....
and I am happy to play that role......and considering the number of VC pieces I have owned over the years there is a certain amount of self-enabling going on too! :-) Looking forward to seeing photos from you with the 1951 on your wrist. Bill
Hi Bill I saw your postings and wanted you to look at mine.
Hi Bill, I added a picture of my watch, is this what you consider the "Ultra Fine," 1955? ...
What a great vintage (50s) collection Bill. My contribution
with my alone vintage watch: a VC 6089 from 1955 created for VC New York Boutique in 24 pieces. with 1002 calibre. Cheers, Patrickh ...
