I'm a big fan of the case for the Historiques 1955...
as I have a late-1950's vintage Chronometer Royal with that case shape. I think this watch will be a winner for VC, especially with the updated size, which is perfect for those who care not a whit for the big watch trend.

My Survey of Vacheron Constantin's SIHH 2010 Novelties

The Historiques 1955 is beautiful
I love VC's ultra-thin calibres and the 1003/3 is to die for. The lugs and case of the Historiques 1955 are my favorite of all the ultra-thins that I've seen coming out of VC. If I didn't already have a watch with those "angular/trapezoidal" lugs, I would...
