Vacheron Constantin

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...  

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... 

and so, what's next? :-) Bill

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 ...  

is probably one of my all-time favorites from VC. Outstanding! Oliver

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

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 ...  

Here is another one I took in picture during a VC dinner. How sensual! Best, Nicolas ...  

...the Toledo's case is in a class by itself. It's unbelievable. Best, respo

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... 

Thanks for the wonderful pics and text. The cushion case is an excellent design and VC has mastered it well. Joseph
