...the 81530 would be perfect WITHOUT diamonds.  A lovely size, a view of the cal. 1400 from the rear (like the Malte Grande Classique) and the gorgeous design of the 81180.

Nice topic, Bill.  VC does make some lovely watches for women.  I know a couple of collectors whose wives also have VCs, and maybe they will join in the conversation.

There is such a pair (just barely visible) in the photo below:




That photo is one of my favorites.  It recalls a very fun event with some great folks, some whom I met for the first time at this event.  Several of my very favorite watches are on these wrists.  One of the watches annoys me (because it is a reminder of one of my few true horological regrets); I lust after at least two of the watches seen here (seen by me on that day for the first time).  I have a variant of another (which I also saw at this event for the first time), which has grown to be one of my absolute favorites, and another, well, that one I miss.  Yes, there are a lot of feelings wrapped up in this photo for me.  VC really knows how to create a wonderful experience drawing together terrific people.  This happened to be a celebration of the Paris Opera Ballet, and in attendance were at least two couples (more I am sure) sporting Vacheron watches on his and her wrists. 

Best,

Every now and then I get around to putting a couple of Vacheron Constantin watches side-by-side, often to highlight some his and hers possibilities for collectors who might like to share their passion for fine watches with their better spouses. Mrs. WHL...  

Great pairs, Bill! :)

His Or Hers

Vintage V&C wrist watches were of a size that compliments women today and still suits men as well. Mrs TT agreed to submit to "watch porn" as she called it, by sitting for this side-by-side pic for your thread. Tick Talk photo The square-cased piece f...

When I first picked this one up, I thought it would be mine. Then by the time it came back from a VC service, I bought 3 quick change straps for it (1 dark brown for me, 2 for her - purple and red) to be used as a His and Her item. She been using it every...
