Vacheron Constantin

I had the great pleasure of visiting Vacheron Constantin’s New York boutique for the first time last week. While the principal reason I was down in New York was to attend a celebratory dinner for the boutique’s grand opening prepared by legendary chef Tho...  

Thanks for the superb report, Bill. My favourite? Without surprise, the WT pocket watch. Damn great piece! Best, Nicolas.

and VC has a lot of great options at reasonable prices (Farouk and Packard watches excepted, of course). Bill
