SIHH 2010: A great and grey SIHH for Vacheron !

foversta

Vacheron surprised us a lot last year with the presentation of the caliber 4400, the Americaine 1921, the new Patrimony collection including the beautiful handwind Patrimony 38mm.

This year, the SIHH for Vacheron is a confirmation of the quality of the previous year novelties.

To sum up, in a few words, the description of the novelties, I would say: grey, maki-e, complications.

Let's browse them now !

Thanks to Alexandre Ghotbi, I had the opportunity to shoot each and every watch... except a noteworthy one: the Historique Ultra-Fine 1968. All the people were very busy at the booth during our appointment so please consider that is almost a miracle that I only missed one !

Thanks to Alex for his availability and kindness !

Part 1: Ultra Thin 1955 & Patrimony Contemporaine Manuelle Pt The Ultra Thin 1955 is very balanced and the size (case diameter of 36mm) is perfect in the ultra-thin context. The decoration of caliber 1003 is beautiful, elegant and discrete. Vacheron gives now the ability to the client to choose between two different...

grey opaline dial looks perfect to me, but the caseback is not transparent?

Stefan, you should consider the size of the 1400. It is a much smaller caliber than the 4400. A solid caseback is better in this context. Fr.Xavier

As FX mentioned ... " Stefan, you should consider the size of the 1400. " As much as I love the style of this beauty, I don´t like the idea of the tiny movement in such a "big" (40mm) watch. Maybe I could live with it, when the watch would fit my wrist On me it looks li...

"I do prefer the white face" - For a good reason ... Hey, the WG with black dial (LE for German market) wasn´t bad as well, was it.

Part 2: Quai de l'Ile LE Palladium & Tantalum This Quai de l'Ile is a LE of 100 pieces. The case is a combo of palladium and tantalum parts and due to the difficulty to produce the tantalum parts, only 100 watches will be available. To increase the readability of the dial, the hands are changed and b...
