Definitely One of Not Many!
Or maybe that should be Defiantly One of Not Many? FiftySix Tourbillon! I for one did not expect them to take the model line over $100k this soon.

There seems to be a general misconception about the 56
itâs a new model range but not supposed to be âentry levelâ even though this is probably VCâs cheapest tourbillon!!!
I can only wonder how the reception for FiftySix would have changed
if they'd opened with the tourbillon instead of the steel model with outside movement?
Looks quite good I must say....
Have yet to handle any 56 but this one is quite appealing from the stock pic...
Wow . What a watch
Amazing , No one can deny it is Different and Magnificent . Time to stop attacking the Fifty Six and admire it .
I liked the 56 line from the start
Complications, like the day date pointer, blend naturally into the design. The tourbi of the 56 is one of the most handsome watches from VC, imho and an utterly true VC. Equipped with a top notch new (!) movement that suits this piece very well. Discussio...
Thank you for the link
Will read it again, but I fear the agony will be more after that đ. 95 K is simply out of reach for me ...
I'm still waiting for something special
I just noticed a photo on VC's website under The FiftySix Story; a ref 6073 with sub-seconds automatic . Although one may assume the piece was a 1956 model, I believe the cal 498 sub-seconds auto was discontinued with the introduction of the 1019 center-s...
I absolutely love that VC above from 1956........
Why in the world can't they re-issue modern watches to look more like that and other beauties within the 50's decade??? Tony
I really liked the movement of this watch when I tried the same movement in the Traditionelle case design.
One of my favorite watches of 2018, and I'd get one if I have a very good year. Link to my review of the Traditionelle Tourbillon
I like the peripheral rotor
Unlike the base model, but like all the others, this has the geneva seal, so hand finished after the machine work, not highest end, but nice.
It's very nicely finished...
I didn't put it under the microscope; but it looked well finished, but of course, there is room for improvement! A fatter bullnose for the anglage is always more seductive, and movement plates with more concave curvature is always nice!
I saw some live photos of it.........
On another site. I have to say, it's pretty nice looking. It's the sharpest 56 model released so far. Tony
