Vacheron Constantin Concours d'Elegance Explained
The inaugural Vacheron Constantin Concours d'Elegance is underway! I am personally very excited about what this event will mean for the watch industry - as it will bring a lot of attention to designs of the past. And the winners and response may influence...
I've been curious and excited about this event.
Having attended some and followed many automobile Concours' I've been wondering if this event has any similarities. Since I've never participated I don't really know the specifics of the rules. Are the rules for the VC Concours at all similar to those for...
A stark contrast to automotive concourses.
It's not quite the same as automotive concourses, and yet also very similar. The biggest difference is that in automotive concourses, there are different brands, although sometimes some years have a featured brand as a category - and thus all the vehicles...
Nice. Thanks for the explanation.
I'm glad you're there for the inaugural event! I'm sure you'll have a terrific time. I know I would.
This is a "call for entrants" event.
I hope to attend the awards ceremony! Since, in the car world, the judging and awards ceremony is usually done in the same day.
Well, if you have a watch to enter, you can do so on the VC website!
Event attendance is not absolutely mandatory. Although - it would be LOVELY to see you. Several WatchProSite readers have already added the event to their schedule.
Thanks Patrick
I will not make it to NYC this time however my plan is to attend the event in November. Cheers Pelle

It's definitely a brilliant way to cast a spotlight on vintage watches from this venerable Maison!
I think the concept at large is brilliant!
Anyone observe this when submitting an entry?
After filling out all the required details and uploading photos, I hit the APPLY button. Then I complete the Captcha and watch a spinning Maltese Cross for a couple of minutes. Then nothing...the Maltese Cross goes away but there is no change to the page,...
They definitely will if they don't fix that soon!
Maybe just go into a boutique (do you have one nearby?) and have them file it in their system on your behalf?
Wished you could make it!
They probably will have a similar event in your market too!
Very much!
I really enjoyed the event and moreover I really enjoy the concept. The concept is a non-commercial concept (it doesn't directly bring in revenue for the Vacheron Constantin brand and in fact it costs the brand significant amounts for coordination, securi...
I hope there are multiple entrants from WatchProSite.
In the speech they did at the event, they even mentioned WatchProSite - the speaker for Phillips technically even mentioned that they found a photo of a long lost super significant vintage Vacheron Constantin on "PuristSPro" (Seems a lot of people still c...
