Vacheron Constantin

Congratulations,

 

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

New Acquisition

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!

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... 

Thanks Mike
