That is brilliant, Bill!
Why didn't I think of that? Pairs of VCs...I think that is going to be my theme moving forward. I love this idea as it does not limit one to 2 watches only. And if you buy one watch you must determine and buy its mate.
Well, that is one problem solved for today. ;-)

Those Cushion Cased VC's
There must be something about a cushion cased watch partnered with a round dial that resonates with me. I find the combination attractive, and it almost doesn’t seem to matter what brand makes the watch. I admire the classic Panerai look, whether in the L...
Yeah, right ;-) Great write-up, Bill
American Americaine is one cool dude and it would complement my QdI Tantalum perfectly. I already have a Panerai beater and had I acquired the Madison Ave. gem I might've as well moved on to another hobby. But guess what, I ain't going anyplace else. Yeah...
I'm always excited to see "what's next" with you, Radek....
and so, what's next? :-) Bill
Great post and a nice fantasy
We might add the Saltarello as another chapter in the cushion-shaped VCs from around the time of the Medicus Chronograph. I should really post this over on this week's Wrist Scan ("Someone else's watch, someone else's wrist") since this is indeed someone ...
Collecting two-watch collections?
I think the only answer is to collect pairs of Vacheron Constantin watches. I know you have two pair now.....what's the next pair going to consist of? :-) Bill
That is brilliant, Bill!

I have a (slight) weakness for chronographs ...
and especially the 4111 is a real beauty. Nice post! Oliver
and VC does such a great job with their chronographs
both vintage and contemporary. Bill
I must confess a certain love for the Medicus.
Not the most appreciated Chrono from Vacheron, but I was always attracted by its original case and its very classic dial. Very nice selection of great timepieces, Bill. Best, Nicolas
A lot of us love the design.....
but are turned off by the movement.....if this one had the calibre 1141 as in the Historiques Chronograph I think we'd hold it in the same high esteem. Bill
I know you are focusing on round dials
but I think the Toledo should be mentioned. I believe the case is classified as cushion shaped and is one of the most interesting and attractive cases out there. Just my biased opinion. Stewart f ...
Absolutely!
Here is another one I took in picture during a VC dinner. How sensual! Best, Nicolas ...
Cushion or not...
...the Toledo's case is in a class by itself. It's unbelievable. Best, respo
Since Antiquorum calls it a cushion case in their descriptions..
of these Toledo 1952 watches in their auction catalogs, that is good enough for me! One of the iconic cases for the brand, and it would be a dream to own a vintage example with the complete calendar and moonphase. Alas, they are prohibitively expensive, s...
Very nice, Bill!
Thanks for the wonderful pics and text. The cushion case is an excellent design and VC has mastered it well. Joseph
