Stunning mini museum...
Actually I believe each piece would deserve a proper presentation with only few pieces per each thread.

But I am sure you will manage very well to do it very well on your own 😉. Big congrats on the idea and the superb collection it must be. We need more details to come now ! 
Many thanks for sharing,

Most recently the Chronometre Royal observatory watch here: www.watchprosite.com ; and the Chronometre Royal deck watch here: ; plus tagged onto amanico's thread was this brief peek at another CR deck watch with gorgeous movement decoration and t...
True. I do know very little about Vacheron, and don't own any of their watches (I've been almost exclusively into Patek recently)...
... but given that Vacheron's history is arguably one of the most complex and fascinating of all watch brands, it does indeed sadden me to see the marginal attention it's receiving today from Vacheron itself and (therefore?) from its own collectors. Even ...
Thanks for your kind comments :-)
If I could be granted just one wish it would be for VC to publish the photo archives from 1938 where The World of Vacheron Constantin left off. Just another fifty years would be fine...
Thank you for sharing, Dean!
It looks fantastic!! Probably once VC makes own museum... WBR Serge
