Vacheron Constantin Mercator in platinum
A uniquely designed watch, released in the mid 90s. I think it was said that the engineering on the movement was not easy at that time. Lovely the retrograde hour and minute jumping hands. I hope to match this with the European/Asian map version one day. ...
Thank you dear Nicolas
I am sure you will hunt for this one when the time is right Best wishes
Like the concept of the watch
And credit to Vacheron for engineering the movement to make this a reality.
This is a grail watch for me
and a watch I would be willing to sacrifice something else that I own today that I like a lot in order to lay my hands on this beauty. Does anybody know how many of this watch was made? Thanks Pelle
That is a good question. It would be good too know
I do not see this platinum case version (or its twin with the European/Asian map) with box and papers coming up a lot at auctions. Thank you and best wishes
yes indeed
one of those details that take a while to catch your eye but the lugs are very powerful!
good point, dear takman
The lugs was not the first thing that caught my eye but as it was given more wrist time, such details are more appreciated! many thanks
Simply amazing,
and gorgeous watch. Every detail is indeed a work of art. Thank you for the picture, cheers, Filip
I think I prefer this to the versions with the colorful dial...
...although all are stunning.
That is a true work of art.
A mechanical gem, an esthetic marvel. Takes you on a journey around the world as soon as you put it on your wrist!
many thanks dear mrds
It is quite a pleasure for the eyes of the wearer. best wishes.
Wow, must have been quite an experience to see all those!
Many thanks and Best regards
One of my dream watches indeed
Since I am a great fan of slim watches and movements, this and the perpetuals on cal. 1120 base plus the Patek perpetual on cal 240 base ( the old 3940 ) are my dream watches. Content for now with a cal. 2120 from AP without complications and a perpetual ...
