The Sound of Time exhibition and opening of the VC Ion Singapore boutique

Nov 14, 2014,06:45 AM
 

Thanks to Vacheron Constantin for inviting some of us collectors tonight to their new boutique at Singapore Ion mall as well as to view their Sound of Time exhibition.

Due to my hectic work schedule i was late and didn't manage to take photos of the exhibition as I was whisked to the boutique soon after I arrived.

The drinks, food, watches and most importantly, great company with my lovely Singapore based collectors and VC Staff was what I enjoyed most tonight smile
Met some PuristS and "virtual social media" friends for the first time tonight. You guys are a great bunch!

Here are some pics to share here

Enjoy smile

Cheers
Robin

Very spacious boutique. The largest VC boutique in south east Asia 




Vintage VCs that are fully serviced are available for sale here with new boxes and papers! Similar to NY and shanghai boutiques I think

Tough to take a nice pic with the lights. The brown enamel and the ballerinas are crafted so beautifully!


A VC clock in the boutique. Love the hour and min hands.

As always, I love your personal companion for the evening. Hard to beat that! Although the Patrimony that Stephan was admiring is tough competition -- at least within the same family. ;-) That is a nice selection of vintage V&C available in the boutiq... 

Thanks Respo and glad you like the report

I'm so happy that the Singapore boutique now has vintage VCs for sale. All nicely serviced by VC and newly packaged. Of course their prices may be higher than auctions or preowned shops but I prefer the stamp of guarantee and assurance of quality and auth... 

Thanks Kunal! Not seen you for awhile
