The Historiques 1955 is beautiful
I love VC's ultra-thin calibres and the 1003/3 is to die for. The lugs and case of the Historiques 1955 are my favorite of all the ultra-thins that I've seen coming out of VC.
If I didn't already have a watch with those "angular/trapezoidal" lugs, I would really be lusting for this new piece.

My Survey of Vacheron Constantin's SIHH 2010 Novelties
I had the pleasure to see most of the novelties released by Vacheron Constantin at SIHH this past January when I was in Geneva recently. Below are photos of what I saw along with my impressions of the watches. One of the main themes this year from the bra...
A good crop this year, no?
I really love the slate grey dial for the platinum Patrimony watches. It is an outstanding combination. One of the most elegant and striking simple time-only watches now. I might have a hard time deciding between this one and the American1921. Such proble...
The calibers 2253 and 2755 both have the power reserve on the back...

I wish...
...my bank account was coherent with my taste in these watches. LOL. Yes, it is a somewhat difficult choice between the slate dial Patrimony and the 1921. I am really taken with both of them. I am not really in the market at the moment for a dress watch, ...
eye candies, i especially like the 1003/3 movement in gold ........
makes me feel like updating my extra plat VC for this . wonderful survey !
I'm a big fan of the case for the Historiques 1955...
as I have a late-1950's vintage Chronometer Royal with that case shape. I think this watch will be a winner for VC, especially with the updated size, which is perfect for those who care not a whit for the big watch trend. Bill
