A few additional pictures of a musical beauty.

We were lucky to fall on a Vacheron Minute Repeater, during our Parisian Gathering, and I posted a quick pîcture of it. Here are some additional pictures of one of the most appealing Minute Repeater, at least according to my tastes. We are far from the la...
An all time great watch from VC

This minute repeater with the tear drop lugs recalls some of the vintage repeaters that the brand created in very limited numbers and which the reputation of having the best sound of all traditionally designed minute repeater wristwatches. I love the fact...
That's a watch!

What a beauty. Anyone who can call this his property is blessed, happy, lucky a complete human being. Thanks for the very ambient pictures. Regards Moritz
No this is not a watch

on my wrist Unfortunately the sound was not that good ... :-( 37mm sheer beauty, but at least a strong need for a service. Oliver
Agreed. Even if it was even better ....

on MY wrist. I still remember the skeleton variation I had the pleasure to discover and hear some three years ago at the VC Boutique in Geneva... The Skeleton is still my favourite, but this one is a very close second. Best, Oliver. Nicolas.
That's a dream

This VC reminds me of the AP Grande et Petite Sonnerie in the deceptively "simple" design and execution of such a complicated timepiece. How lucky you are to have handled one and heard this beauty. So beautiful and so subtle. Thanks for sharing this with ...
Pretty fortunate..

There are two ways to see the Minute Repeater, IMO.
By: amanico : October 13th, 2011-07:40
A classic way, sober, discrete, elegant, top class: This one and the Skeleton version. A more modern interpretation of this classic complication: The JLC Mastere Minute Repeater. I love both of them, and would love to get bone in the firsrt category, too....
This is something else.
By: ArthurSG : October 13th, 2011-07:30
Great shots Nico. I googled this and as much as I like it, I can;t afford it. But its a repeater and I should have known that LOL.
Like its skeleton sister, I find it rather cool to have watches
By: amanico : October 13th, 2011-07:38
Which will remain in the Dream List Category. Unobtainable watches, to feed our dreams. Was its value a surprise for you? It is a Vacheron, and a very elegant one, so, no unexpected deceptions about its value. Best, Nicolas.
If you want a minute repeating watch from VC....
By: WHL : October 13th, 2011-08:19
you are pretty much obligated to getting the chiming along with the tourbillon and the perpetual calendar in the Patrimony Traditionnelle Caliber 2755. The sound of these watches is phenomenal, even better than the watch that amanico photographed. It will...

Ref. 4261

The original 4261 from the 1950s was made in 36 examples IIRC. Would be my preference ;-) Patrizzi Photo...

I think this is it!

The platinum repetition de minute from the great house of Vacheron Constantin! I can only dream mon ami, but to have one of these in my closet, is a dream. Merci beaucoup! STephen
Spot on mon ami!
By: BluNotte : October 17th, 2011-09:12
But well, i'm sure a house would release a much better one one day! Until that day! Stephen
one of the greatest Vacheron ever
By: cisco : October 17th, 2011-13:55
The design, the caliber, everything is pure "Vacheron Constantin" spirit. The biggest problem of this watch is its later sister, the skeletonised version. Adding another Vacheron specialty , horology at its best. Dream watches in any case cheers Francois
Aaah poetry...
By: moc : October 18th, 2011-23:28
what is it about beautiful watches that makes me go weak? I don t know but just the pictures of this non plus ultra of elegance and understatement manage to have that effect on me. must have been a dream to play with. Mo
My pleasure, my Farfelu friend.

In my opinion, although I am not especially a "fan" of minute repeater per se, this epitomises the word minimalist in its purest. This is THE jewel for me, 37mm of pure marvel, recto and what a fabulous, marvellous, sublime verso. Thank you very much for ...
