Well, finally...
...someone posted the 1921! What a clean and interesting profile on this one, but for me it is the lugs here that love the most from the profile. Oh, and the odd placement of the crown. The watc
Hammer must have made a mistake. LOL.
Best,

A good topic, Bill
Nicolas beat me to it, so I will focus my attention on another's profile... Impossibly thin, yet curvy and beautifully shaped. Vacheron watches tend to fare very well in profile, IMHO. It is yet another chance for the designers and craftspeople to demonst...
I was thinking about this one
as I was reading Bill's post. I saw it in the flesh last week-end and I really love this 1955. Wear it well! Cheers, Mark
Arrrg, you killed me
The profile of this one is absoluetly fantastic... like every detail of this watch. Thanks for sharing Francois
I do love the square pushers on a chronograph
Whether it is the Historiques or the Patrimony Traditionelle Chrono, square pushers just look so much better to me. Great pics as the profiles really show of the pushers off quite nicely.
I also like this one a lot
The downward slope of the lugs helps to hug the wrist snugly and comfortably. The profile of the Overseas has an "architectural" feel to it; it is beautiful yet constructed to perform as a sports watch. Finally, I like the varying finishes of the stainles...
Another favorite
this is the profile of the ultrathin Ref 33093 on the top, and a lady's model whose reference I can't recall on the bottom: Were it not for the vertical satin finish along the side of the case I might not ever have purchased this watch. It was the aspect ...
That is a beautiful profile
Remarkably complex in terms of finishes, angles, etc. for such a thin profile, too. Glad you posted this one. Best, respo

Late to this party
lugs , baby lugs. Its all about the lugs lugs, crown and pushers, any guesses yet? yup .1950 triple calenar ...
Gorgeous is the watch.
Jealous am I. You are right, it is all about the lugs, baby. But that dial is something, too. Best, respo
Does anybody do a greater variety of interesting lugs?
not that I know of. This case is a back-loader; the entire has a bit of flying saucer, to my eyes. Circa early 1960s: ...
Great photo, Steve....
but it is the movement photos of that watch (and of any calibre 1007 or 1008 Chronometer Royale that really blow me away! Thank you for sharing! Bill
Thanks, Bill, it's the 1008 & it really
blows me away, too! Certainly one of my very favorite wristwatch movements. ...
Overseas Date against AP Diver
what a vast difference in case thickness... who would've thought? ...
Two great watches.....
and never having seen the Scuba in person I had not idea it was so much thicker than the Overseas auto. Thanks for the late addition to this thread. Bill
