Vacheron Constantin

At least to me, this " Les Cabinotiers " Minute Repeater Skeleton is one of the nicest watches I've ever seen. I was lucky enough to admire it at the Vacheron Constantin Boutique, in Geneva, where we were perfectly welcomed. If someone is looking for an e...  

Thanks for a wonderful post.Something that looks so beautiful and sound so perfect, I only hope that I have a chance to view it one day. No doubt it will illicit the same emotions that you have experienced as one who appreciates the fine craftmanship of t... 

fantastic! I love it!

when I saw it in catalogue I was mesmerized but now when I saw your pictures I feel dizzy Piece of ART and HOROLOGICAL HISTORY as you perfectly put it only one thing is that you will tell me (one day without killing me) the secret handshake or line with s... 

I was still shivering in front of such a Beauty... If only I was lucky at the Lottery... But Dream Watches are good, too. As for the sellers, nothing special, and no secrets, I fear... I guess that when you have sparkles in the eyes...It's easier. The sel... 

I said that I avoid talking about grail watches. I might just make an exception for just this one watch (or its rose gold sibling). I'm glad you got the chance to experience that watch, Nicolas. You are a lucky man. Bill

Nicolas,  How would you compare the sound of this VC versus the titanium L.U.C Tech Strike One?  I imagine the VC has a much softer "strike" versus the Chopard.  I thought the Chopard had a very nice musicality though. Warm regards, Daos

My keyboard is now wet with saliva! Thanks for sharing....I haven't seen anything more magnificent. It must be breathtaking in the flesh.

This is really beautiful work. Thanks for posting these great pictures. Tim

Thanks for sharing!

But i believe that for such a masterpiece like this there is eternality in it, and therefore one can never be too late. Amazing shots mon ami, the finish of this piece is divine, unlike no squelleton i have ever set sights upon. Brings me back to the memo...

this is an extremely fine example of very high horology, however the skeletonized version is definitely not my preferred cup of tea. I much, very much prefer the one with a dial, firstly, to me, the dial's simplicity is just superb and secondly, I'd rathe... 

Between Frigide Barjot and Brigitte Bardot, eeeh? :) :) :) See you soon! Nicolas
