 By: maberlin : January 11th, 2014-15:01
At the suggestion of our esteemed moderator, I am posting some photos of a recent acquisition even though some of you may have seen these photos. Almost from the day I first started collecting watches, I have wanted to own one of these beautiful VC Audubo...  

Beautiful indeed !

Fascinating. Thank you for introducing me to this series of watches. would love to see the other nine dials. The Roseate Spoonbill is one goofy looking bird that looks part Flamingo part duck! Makes for a very interesting subject and a beautiful dial. War...

Such a pretty set of watches (I wonder if any collector out there has all ten) Did you ever see Sechaud's "Turkish" designs for VC? Bill

The Turkish designs are gorgeous as well

Geometric rather than naturalistic, but also works of art.

Gorgeous watch

Pity you didn't buy it!

It would have been a very fine investment as well as a thing of beauty to wear.

Honestly...

Mike, this is one of those absolutely perfect watches that VC has produced. Flawless inside and out and truly a piece of art for the wrist. You really have an enviable VC collection, but this is certainly one of the crown jewels. Congratulations once agai... 

See you soon Robert!

an ultrafine timepiece combined with ultra fine art. Wonderful naturalist miniatures! As a biologist I think I would have no problems justifying the purchase… Wear it with proud - and care! Magnus
