Antiquorum interesting up to impressive (Cloisonné) on the first sight.
Did you see the Guilloché and two-tone on auction at Phillips The Geneva Watch Auction X.
As always veteran watch expert Alex Ghotbi shows a most impressive V&C selection - congratulations - a feast for the eyes and the in-deep inspection.
Maybe we need an auction alert Antiquorum & Phillips
Aged to perfection? .. ! - Sunday Reader
"...The concept that collectors prize originality over restoration is one of the things that many people find most surprising about collecting vintage watches..." Interesting article for understanding patina for dedicated vintage aficionados at christie's...
I agree..
I think this is similar in some ways to the concept of wabi-sabi. Sometimes it takes decades for a watch (and a watch lover) to reach maturity. ...
Some more to read ...
For me it is a fact you could easily observe, that aged subjects could gain additional beauty. But not any aged watch is desirable, this is misunderstood very often. To explain this attraction with the famous 'Cha Do' (way of the tea) master Rikyo's philo...
Wabi competition
Left side got lost some Wabi by exchanging crown (not original spare part), seconds hand (not original spare part), retaining it well with naturally oxided silvered guillauché dial, case and the rest unrestored. Right side got lost some Wabi at the dial b...
Wabi, Sabi, Wasabi
Well my Wabi interpretation is certainly as wrong as it could get. What I'm actually looking for is more like, aged with grace. And not to forget, there are Western approaches to this topic as well, I guess even more suitable ones. Aficinados may also thi...
Wabi competition II
Vacheron & Constantin - ref 4659 'The Crab' in quite rare condition featuring a fantastic dial @ Phillips Watches (on the left side) The same reference with quite much Wabi on the right side. The heavy oxidation would make it less wearable for many af...

Cloisonné, beautiful and rare
but it's too expensive. I still want you return to the discussion about
You do not listen
You do not follow the thoughts and reason and therefore your understanding is little. It does not make sens for me to talk further.
have a good day
I just expressed my attitude, my thoughts and judgments maybe not correct, and now I have realized it. But I think it's a public forum where you can reasonably express your opinions, even if they are wrong. Only in constant communication and learning can ...
I understand your commitment because of your purchase
But I'm not in if the discussion is too subjective. If you want to woo a watch, than use instagram or whatever - plenty of audience.
I will be happy to join in the discussion and study
If you start a new topic: auction alert anti quorum & Phillips。
For those don't made the winning bid in Geneva
Appealing and enlightening article about the work Vacheron Constantin Les Collectionneurs: "... Perhaps the thing that impresses the most, when inspecting all of these watches under a loupe, is the sheer quality of the pieces on offer. It’s easy to feel s...
