As requested by Henry, here are other pics we saw during our VC Hour Club presentation, hosted by our dear friend (and Hour Club Don!) Mr Alex Ghotbi. I am very sorry for the poor pics quality. There were several reasons - firstly my Canon decided to play...  

Many thanx Robin,

It happened to me several times also not to have the right camera at the right moment and the result is what it is: great watches for which obviously the pics do not render justice. Of course it is a pity and you will surely be punished for that (LOL) but... 

Thank you Mike! :)

I am glad even though the pics are not the best, you enjoyed the post :) Time for me to get a better camera! :) Cheers Robin

Thanks Robin for the great report!

For SIHH 2015 as 2015 is their 260th anniversary ! VC has always been at the top of haute horology (along with some other esteemed brands) :) Next year will be more exciting ! Thanks for your kind words Ovi. :) Cheers Robin

Hi Robin, great report and photos. An excellent effort.

I like some pieces more than others, but overall, a great effort by VC. I love the slate grey dials of the Patrimony, but the white date window on the automatic. I like the Traditionelle day date pr in RG but have to see it in the flesh. Love the Astronom... 

I believe it is only for the China market for a limited time

Then it will be available worldwide.

Thank you my friend

Yep I heard the same as what Dan said. The Chinese editions will be available first in the Chinese market and subsequently for other markets too Cheers Robin

Any reason for this? Because this is a very universal

model in terms of VC design, and will be quite popular worldwide.

I guess China has always been special to VC since ancient days :)

And they want their clients there to get these first ? Makes sense as rose gold is very popular in Asia. But glad the rest of the world will eventually get these pieces too. We have more time to save up then Kunal ! :p Cheers Robin

Many thanks!

Dear Robin, Thanks for the nice photos. Looking forwards to the photos taken during dinner on that night. Best Henry

My pleasure Henry!

Thank you for the report....

There were some impressive complications on display at that dinner. Still, I think my favorites are the new rose gold pieces with slate dials. Bill

Agree Bill

The simple dress watches are what VC does best! VC is also famous for grand complications. It's the middle tier of watches I feel VC needs to work on a bit with more choices for customers Thanks Bill and hope you like the report Cheers Robin
