Vacheron Constantin

Hello everyone. Here is, belatedly, the live pics of the Vacheron Constantin booth and some of the novelties. I will separate the thread to four parts: 1. Booth 2. Metiers D'Art: Mechaniques Gravees Collection 3. Harmony Collection 4. ARCA Clocks This who...  

For those non-French speaking... Gravee = Engraved 1. 1100A/000P-B026 Cal. 4400/1 PT case, 39mm, 8.50mm thick Only available in Vacheron Constantin Boutiques More than 10 days to engrave a single 4400/1 calibar. 2. 14-day Tourbillon 6000A/000P-B026 Cal. 2...  

Here are the new line-up "Harmony Collection" - there was a model which inspired the series, but completely re-invented collection. 1. Harmony Chronograph Ultra-Thin Grande Complication (Rattrapante) 54005/000P-B057 Cal. 3500 PT case 42mm x 52mm, 8.4mm th...  

I quickly saw the two chronographs for men, the " simple " one, and the Rattrapante. My heart started to beat faster, much faster... Finally, one modern Vacheron I badly wanted! The dial looks superb, the case of the Rattrapante nicely proportionned, the ... 

... My suggestion - flip it and enjoy the peripheral rotor with beautiful engraving together with Maltese Crosses? Kidding! I see your point. I kind of have a feeling that many will come out from this new "line" going forward and one day, they make simple... 

I like the PR function. Better on the backside perhaps, but still tastefully done on the dial. The Harmony introduction is a home run imho. M4

I just regret the anachronism of a Watch which is strongly linked to the past ( 2 Subdials Chrono + aesthetical choices ) but which adds something which has nothing to see with such a Watch. But here again, the fact that it is important for me doesn't mea... 

Thanks for this report, Ken. The press photos first released left me a bit unenthusiastic about the new Harmony line. With the live photos and video, I see a different story. The harmony Chronograph and the Split Seconds Chronograph are getting to me the ... 

Great report, as always! The thin split-seconds model is a stunner. The proportions are perfect and the movement is stunning. It could have done without the power reserve, but it is well-integrated and doesn't bother me. The ladies model would be a good m... 

And especially the Harmony Chronograph. Finally we can see a chronograph 100% designed in-house. Thank you, Constantin

Did they have to give it overarching theme of 260th anniversary? Will they celebrate 270th, and five years later 275th? Seems like they tried to force something 'larger than life' for the launch of this collection. 25 years between major celebrations is p... 

On the occasion of its 260th Anniversary, Vacheron Constantin has united in a single project (12 clocks with rare mineral cases) more than seven talents - a watchmaker, a guillocheur, an enamel artist (index are all enamel), an engraver, a gilder and a st...  

Thank you. Alas I couldn't attend SIHH but thank you an all mods and PuristS friends who attended and shared your experiences with us. The new harmony series is a winner in my books. A new collection to mark VC's 260th anniversary. Well done VC! Cheers Ro... 

There are brands which introduced interesting new models here and there, but I did not feel much of the "theme" or "brand concept" there. That is why I thought VC is one of the few winners at SIHH because this "Harmony series" has all of them. Very nice e... 

...Unusually, the clocks you showed caught my interest. They will be appreciated as demonstration pieces of arts and crafts. Regards, MTF

... one has already been spoken for.... I heard. You'd better hurry :-) Ken

I am the one having fun and sharing is my pleasure! Ken

A great year for Vacheron, the chronographs are the main dish but the clock and métiers d'art are lovely too. The split second is amazing. cheers François

Almost like being there. Fantastic year for the brand. I like them all. Just wonderful.

Wonderful report Ken. The VC 14-day Tourbillon Gravee is stunning. Regards, ED-209
