It looks great on your wrist, Oliver!!!
Isn't it interesting what a difference of a couple of millimeters may make in the fit of a watch on our wrists?
Let's face it, the PC Self-Winding is stunning. And I love the idea that VC continues to use the 1120, although I more easily swoon for this caliber encased beautifully in the Historiques Ultra-fine 1968. ;-)
Best,

Would you like to see.....
the 42 mm Patrimony Contemporaine Self Winding, which Vacheron Constantin released last year in its limited edition Excellence Platine collection, as a standard production model with yellow, rose, and white gold cases? I know a lot of PuristS hold the cal...
A really beautiful watch but
it is simply too big. If the same model with manual winding would be 37-38 mm and the automatic 2 mm bigger, these watches would be perfect . Now they are "just" very nice. Best, Kari
I kind of agree...
I would have preferred to have seen the self-winding PC in Pt. come in a smaller size. I could not see VC issuing a self-winding 40mm PC since they already offer a manual wind in this same size size with the cal. 1400 and all other elements the same. But ...
Yes, it would be nice ...
to see it in the regular collection. My first concern was the size ... until I tried it on my wrist: The 42mm version looks/fits much better than the 40mm version, on my (7.5") wrist. VC did a great job, when they worked on the details. Once more, don´t j...
I am very surprised to read....
that the 42 mm models fits you great when you had so much trouble with the 40 mm Patirmony Contemporaine. One does have to try a watch on to know for sure whether the fit is good or not. Bill
"very surprised"
Me too! 40mm looked like a plate (maybe because of the "emptiness"), but the different proportions of the indexes ... the hands ... and here we go Oliver

looks wonderful, but is the movement much smaller than the case?
judging from the picture, the movement is quite small and the case was made bigger. anyway looks wonderful still but just wondering
This one doesn't bother me....
with a 28 mm movement in a 42 mm case. I would have a problem with a sapphire case back on the 81180, which uses the 20 mm caliber 1400 in a 40 mm case: A great movement, reliable and accurate, but small. Bill...
Yes, it was a good decision
...to put a solid caseback on the 81180, although I love to see the 1400, whenever the opportunity presents itself. By the way, what is the spacer in the 81180 made of? Simply steel, I guess. respo
