Vacheron Constantin: It makes total sense.
Up to about the 1970s, >35mm was considered pretty big, 38mm was a jumbo size. I think it’s just that we’ve gotten very used to bigger watches (and perhaps people have gotten a bit bigger generally), but for smaller wrists, sizes <38mm work well in most cases.

Vacheron Constantin: To me, this watch is the purest expression of continuation of the top winder watches from the 1930s (understand the irony of the crown not being the top, but the placement of second subdial can be read as if it was)
A really gorgeous watch with a two tone dial execution, where the logo, seconds subdial and date window are perfectly balanced. Bravo.

Patek Philippe: Very lucky you!
I found it using Google search and it immediately stood out to me as an great example of a ref 96. Killer watch. I'm not sure if I would ever let it go if I had it...

Vacheron Constantin: VC tonneau, 1929, yellow gold
Curved tonneau case with domed crystal. Big applied Breguet numerals on a champagne colored dial and cathedral style hands. Hinged case back. Cal 9’ 94, adjusted in 5 pos. At 23mm x 42mm and 8.5mm, wears surprisingly pretty big. Wouldn’t it be interesting if VC still made watches like this?
