The Hour Lounge dinner in London
Celine Larose (UK VC Brand Manager), Alex Ghtobi and Christian Selmoni (VC Artistic Director) hosted The London Hour Lounge dinner yesterday in an iconic building: the top floor of The Gherkin. Some Purists attended (Mo, GregD, ...) but also new faces and charming ladies:
The amazing circular view:
Some people around the table were discovering horology ....
The piece de resistance!
And the showpiece of the evening
I guess Mo was trying to hide?
The host!
Playing?
Nikki (VC) and Greg
And my 2 best picks of the evening
Thanks to Celine, Nikki, Christian and Alex for this nice evening.

Great report
Thank you. Looks like a great evening. The more I see reports of these VC events, the more I know it would be a slice of heaven to be amongst all those great watches and good people. One of these days, I hope... Glad to see the 1921 is still getting play....
Love the pic of Mo playing hide and seek ...
Looks like a very classy evening. Hope all is well Mo. Best, Vernon
Nice report, Yves
if only I could take photos like that! A great venue and lovely food. Watch-wise, the highlight of the evening for me, the world timer, which I reckon VC have underpriced. Not often you find yourself saying that in the world of haute horlogerie. Ref 2253 ...
I almost had a heart attack!
I almost fell off my chair when with that backside picture following the World Time watch...until I realized it was the perpetual calendar Ref. 43175! Very tricky ;-) Isn't Christian helpful......
Oh yes sorry i should have stated that!
The transparent back after the 2011 Worldtimer picture is indeed from the 43175! Christian? A true gentleman!
I bet that you were all gentlmen that evening.
Watches and charming company what a combination. Looks like you were all having a good time. Best regards, George
Thank you for a great report!
Looks like a wonderful evening -- with an array of watches second to none. Great to see Alex in good spirits and everyone having a good time. Wonderfully clear photos -- can you share what camera/lens you used? Thanks, Gary G
Thanks Gary
Used a Canon 7D + the cheap (but good value for money) Sigma 17-70 and 580EXII flashgun (next time will bring diffuser) Y
Thank you for the photo report....
We rarely talk about the diamond set watches for ladies, but VC does a great job with those pieces. Bill...
True
Quite like this one too (sorry no close-up) But somehow it reminds me the Crazy Flower from Breguet .... strange...
Thank you Yves,what a great night.....
Vacheron wasn t short of breathtaking pieces ,my beloved 1921,the new WT but most of all the Chagall Opera miniature which stole my heart. I ve never seen such a display of true craftmanship,a masterpiece.No wonder VC decided to keep it. I would love to t...
Great pictures of the event!
Thanks for the write-up. I know you all must've enjoyed the time together -- and the watches! I love the American 1921! It's probably my favorite VC. I see Mo is looking as dashing as always! Cheers, Daos
