A global look at some Vacheron Constantin new Harmony line models

Gentlemen, ladies,

I've been able to have a closer look at some of the new Harmony family models from Vacheron Constantin. These new references have been unveiled this year to celebrate the 260th anniversary of the brand.

I'll be talking more precisely about these models later but wanted to make an overall presentation of what I could see by myself already.

With the American 1921 or the Quai de l'Ile and Malte models, the brand has shown a quite unusual "taste" in aesthetical design. The shape of this new line is no exception and I find "refreshing" that a traditional brand provides something other than round shaped cases.

Furthermore, some details on these dials are quite different from what we are used to seeing, but I would like to emphasize the fact that though it is different and new, it is usually very well done.

As an example, I would mention the numerals color or the power reserve layout on the men's chronograph. But I'll detail this later for each watch.





Harmony Chronographe "Petit Modèle" -

37 x 46.6 mm, with the Lemania based movement (1142 caliber) for this very nice lady model

Harmony Dual Time (samller size than the men's chronographe) -

I'll come a little into details for some of these novelties but, yet, I'm very happy about this first meeting with these appealing watches and I would suggest you have a look at them if you can!

Cheers, Mark

Take off the diamonds, and.......... make the Harmony Chronographe "Petit Modele" in a white metal and I have a sex change straight away;) In my opinion, the nicest of the lot. Thank you for the pictures. Cheers Francois

That's a good point you mentionned there are different sizes in the new line and this helps everyone to find something that might suits. Thanks François :)

I agree, the best of this bunch better balance and numerals not so cut up as the men's chronograph. But I like the dual-time a lot too. Cazalea

Thanks Mark. Very nice pictures that really draw you in to look at the new designs. The cushion case has been a weakness of mine for many years and this collection really shows it off with some brilliant design work. The dual time will be mine one day, the hunt is on. Best to all, Tim

Glad reading you I'm also very attracted by cushion-shaped watches and I must say Vacheron and Patek have proposed very interesting ones. It is classical and quite modern because of the colors and dial design at the same time. A beauty. Cheers, Mark

Awesome Thanks so much Mark for sharing. I wish I could merge the chronos dial on to the 40 mm case! But alas I suppose there are things they know that I dont! Regards, Dylan
