Vacheron Constantin

Here in Sweden we are not spoiled with watch events and especially not one held by some of the bigger names in the industry. The other evening was one of these rare occasions, Vacheron Constantin together with Nymans Ur held an event here in Stockholm. Th...  

Thank you for sharing this with us. You were able to see some very wonderful VCs from the Overseas to the grand complication cal. 2755 -- that is quite a range a and a lot to take in. The blue Overseas looks great on your wrist (well, so does the 2755!). ... 

LE 100 pieces Yellow Gold. Each time I see this one I "bite" my lip...! ;) Part 2 in online, my friend! Best Blomman

Thanks for sharing, it looks like a great event. The Overseas Chrono will be my next VC, for the reasons you mention. The Saltarello is amazing!

it would surely be on the Traditionnelle 2755. Thank you for the report!! Bill

Yes, there were three quarters of a million reasons why I didn't leave that evening with the cal. 2755 on my wrist... ;) Best Blomman

Yes, I must say that I surprised in a good way by that one! :) Hope you get yours soon! Best Blomman

Another Perpetual Calendar I got to see was the Patrimony Contemporaine Perpetual Calendar. A very classic looking pink gold watch, perfect size: 41 mm in diameter and only 8.96 mm high. That’s very thin for a Perpetual Calendar with Moon phase! The leap ...  

Toledo 1951. You all know my fabless for rectangular watches, right? But, I must say that this 1951 version is not my favorite version of the Toledo. I find this one a bit anonymous… Not sure if it’s because of the other watches I have seen here or if bec...  

I tend to agree! :) Best Blomman

Thank you for sharing this event with us here. I like the blue dial VC overseas chronograph alot too! One of my favorite VCs, other than my Traditionelle. Cheers Robin

Yes, a super cool watch! :) Thank you, Robin. Best Blomman

It is so rare to see the YG. Do you know if the strap is a VC strap? It is so different than the standard brown or black! The 2755 looks fab on you. I own the OS blue. It is a great blue watch. I was thinking of adding the rubber strap for it this summer ... 

I am not 100% - will ask next time I meet the owner. If you look at the photos, you see that the inside also is alligator, which you also find on some of VC's current watches. Which one will be my first VC...? Well, for a long time I have been eyeing the ... 

I think you have more than him? Joe

Much Watch events in Sweden. Could you tell us why? Another thing, could you listen to the Minute Repeater? Aaah, the Saltarello! Not my fav VC from that era, but a very interesting Watch, for sure! Best, Blomman. Nicolas

You just have to hold it a while to change your mind. First ths movements work on the rotor is sublime. The guilloche work in the light is mesmerizing. I have only seen DeBethune and KV who have done work like this. I enjoy the case work when you see it i... 

Was "looked" so I could not hear the sound... :( Why not many watch events in Sweden? Well, to start with Sweden is a very "underdeveloped" country when it comes to watches. People are not that into watches as much as in some other European countries. Mos... 

Thanks for sharing your experience. Some of those watches are exquisite. I'm glad VC brought along some interesting vintage pieces as well as the newer ones. Looks like a wonderful evening. Best, Joseph

Thank you, Joseph. The vintage watch was not from VC but from one of the participants of the evening...! :) Best Blomman

catching up on all corners of the globe. Love all the pics. Love the Saratello and the OS with blue dial. You must have felt like a kid in a candy store.

Indeed! It brings out the kid in you! :) Thank you, Kpk. Best Blomman
