Wore my VC Traditionelle to the shoemaker during my year end break

Jan 07, 2015,02:28 AM
 

Nice shoes compliment nice watches very well.

My shoes will take awhile as they apply the patina. Once I collect them I may do some shoes and watches shots lol smile

Meanwhile thanks to my bros who reminded me of my VC Traditionelle, a watch i often neglect... My love for this watch is reignited! Such pure elegance, perfect size, timeliness charms and nice feeling on the wrist. What more can i ask from a watch??
Yes it's not a rare watch, not an LE, not an anniversary edition but hey it makes me smile alot!! smile

Some pics to share of this watch. My first love in haute horology, always smile

Cheers

Great watch, nice shirt...and I am betting fine shoes as well

...but they are blurry in the photo. ;-) The Traditionelle is a really fine watch. I would venture to say that it is a perfect watch, and there are very few of examples of perfection around. In the end, it does not matter if it is rare (although VCs are a... 

Thank you Respo!

Happy 2015 too! The shoes are not ready yet. I should be able to collect them next week. This is an existing pair - nice but not that great shoes :) Yes I'm happy to wear my VC Traditionelle again! And agree rarity is not an important criteria. Would rath... 

It's good to revisit a watch again....

after a spell when it doesn't get much time on the wrist: it makes you appreciate it all over again. While I have owned a few special edition watches, I don't especially place any "extra" value on a watch being limited. I have to like it for its own intri... 

Fully agree Bill

Good that fellow PuristS like you and Respo have affirmed my belief that rarity is not as important as liking a watch as it is. Yes the Traditionelle is indeed a perfect dress watch to me! Rewind back to sep 2012. Will I buy this watch again? The answer i... 

Great watch

One of the best in your collection IMHO. Can't wait for the shoes shots. LOL. Regards, Ian

I also can't wait for the shoes :)

And thanks bro for reminding me of this watch and helping me love it again! Cheers Robin

Still on my wish list, Robin

Thanks for these very nice pictures. The Traditionelle and the Saxonia are both high on my wants! :-)

Both are great watches!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 8th, 2015-06:09
Good choices Richard I like Langes as you know. When I compared the Saxonia vs the VC Traditonelle back in Sep 2012, I chose the Vc though. It's all a matter of tastes but the hands, applied indices of the VC are thicker and I feel it gives the dial more ... 

That's good input.

 
 By: rnaden : January 8th, 2015-06:27
I've not had the opportunity to compare them side by side, but it's definitely something I would want to do before making any decision.

The VC and Lange boutiques are almost side by side in Singapore

Ion. :)) Visit again next time you come Singapore Cheers Robin

You're getting to be Vlad-dy now, Robin ;-)

 
 By: rnaden : January 10th, 2015-02:06
I noticed that the last time I walked into the Lange boutique, but resisted the urge to go to the other one for good reason...LOL

Beautiful watch, Robin. Always like that one!

The strap looks like it matches your shoes :-) Best, Joseph

Thank you Joseph :)

Reading all your comments I feel like wearing this watch again today :) Cheers Robin

Traditionelle looks great

 
 By: bsbg : January 8th, 2015-15:36
it is truly a spectacular but understated piece. I enjoy mine, perhaps not enough but your post has inspired me to be sure it is on the wrist soon. It is a "dress" watch, but works rather well with casual attire as well. And we definitely need shoe pics :... 

Totally agree!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 9th, 2015-22:38
I actually feel comfortable with it paired with tees and jeans even. Shoes pictures will come soon. Cheers Robin

On my wish list too.

Thanks for sharing, Robin. May I ask what color is the dial? Cheers, Ken

It's an opaline silver dial Ken

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 9th, 2015-23:13
There is also a cream dial boutique edition version which is very nice too Cheers Robin

Hi, Robin
