That makes three good reason to pay a visit to the boutique:
registering your 6115 for the concours, discovering the new boutique and buying a strap for your 82172 ! ☘️
Spoke with the boutique here this morning. Anything made by Verger Freres is not allowed.
Now, this is most surprising!
Are they really going to exclude such iconic pieces as the celebrated "Bras-en-l'air"? And so many other pieces whose casing was manufactured by Verger Frères?
I find it hard to understand (and even to believe, even if I don't doubt your words at all - I'm just confused, here).
I've checked the rules online and, surprisingly the name Verger Frères is never mentioned.

I believe it’s buried in article 1.5 of the Participation Rules…
Now, I’m now 100% sure if this is the exclusionary rule, but it would seem like it (I wasn’t told specifically what the reason was so have to infer).
“Movements or cases sold separately are not eligible”.
As far as I’m aware, VC never sold cases or movements to end customers. Therefore, what i presume the rule refers to, are design or case manufacturer customers (such as Verger Freres in Paris or Perrin in New York), who acted as production intermediaries outside of VC’s own production.
VF and Perrin watches have their own case number designations.
What I meant was I was specifically told VF watched not acceptable, so I dug through the rules to try to work out why. Rule 1.5 is an inference, but VF being excluded was specifically told.
Yes, that's exactly how I understood you!
And I'm grateful both for the information (VF excluded) and your proposed explanation!
Thank you!
Thank you!
I saw a message on Chinese social media:
5 nominated works will be selected from the entries for each award, and Vacheron Constantin will invite these 35 watch owners to gather in Geneva, the birthplace of the brand, in November to witness the ownership of the 7 award works together.
Thank you for sharing this information!
It would be great if some member of our site was part of these 35 happy few.
Let’s wait and see!
