Thanks for this very interesting comparative post, Bill.
The first and the second perpetual ccalendar chrono from VC made me dream for a long, very long time.

What could be better than spending some time with these VC perpetual chronographs? I did not realize that the original Malte Perpetual Chronograph was 39mm. I, too, would like to see a return to that size. 14mm does seem a bit chunky for a 39mm watch, but...
here's that sandblasted platinum dial....
I like each version, but settled on this one. Gary...
That one is my favorite VC perpetual chrono
It's spectacular. I chased one for a while and burned out... then other watches took over... I'm happy with my journey, but I must have dreamed of this chrono-perpetual for at least 3 years before the independents stole me off the scent... Incredible VC H...
