Discreet life companions
An old wooden secretary desk with unrefined hinges, a delicately painted Gien porcelain letter tray, a candle, and a beautiful chronograph... Have a great weekend you all! Best, Emmanuel Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955, ref. 5000H/000...
What a beautiful and classy looking Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955
I used to prefer white gold but somehow over the last year that has changed to having a preference for yellow or rose gold but to be honest that Vacheron in any metal is just stunning. I don't know much about the letter tray other than I really think it l...
Thank you so much, Marc!
I’ve always liked colored gold and am starting to enjoy platinum very much with my Chronometro Gondolo. But certain pieces like the CdV have a vintage vibe which really call for colored gold, imo. The motif on the tray has been designed by a man named Pie...
Generally speaking I prefer colored gold
However it of course depends on what watch it is. The CEO of JLC visited Stockholm not long ago and he thought that Scandinaivians prefer that because of our pale skin this time of the year. Cheers. Pelle
I completely agree with you that it depends on the timepiece, Pelle!
This CEO has stereotypical ideas ! Best, Emmanuel
I know we're a watch website!
But, permit me to remark, that letter tray is very beautiful! I've got a mahogany secretary's desk as well.

The motif on the tray has been designed by a man named Pierre Frey and is called “Jardin du Palais” (Garden Palace). Cheers, Emmanuel
Love the composition of the first picture !
The secretary, the tray, allfit so well with together with the CdV Beautiful picture 🤩
Such a beauty 😍
I’m seriously considering adding a steel version of this reference to my collection.

The retail prices have increased unreasonably, imo (from 58k to 71,5k for the rose gold variant, for example), but there might be interesting opportunities on the secondary market. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you, Leopold!
I consider myself very lucky indeed to have been able to acquire one and especially to acquire one before the insane price increase (€71,5k today vs €58k in 2022…). Best, Emmanuel
Thank you, Tony!
I also think that rose gold suits this design particularly well. Best, Emmanuel
