The bezel is certainly so,
but we know that VC has, in its collection, several watches which is "original" as the Toledo 1951, the Aronde 1954, maybe the Quai de l'Ile too...
So, yes I prefer the Patrimony line, the fantastic 1955 Ultra-Fine, but even the Malte chrono QP with its specific lugs had a lot of character and was much less refined than a Les Historiques chronographe for instance.
I'm curious to see what it looks like and may be pleased in the end (on the contrary of last year's novelties which were only based on the Metiers d'Art, which is not my cup of tea :p )
[SiHH 2015] Teaser of a new case ?
I'm not a specialist of VC but don't seem to remember this shape that will be unveiled on Monday... A new "Historic" model ? Wait and see. Cheers, Mark...
A bit abrupt for a Vacheron, don't you think?
Where is the sensuality we so much love in Vacheron watches? Best, Nicolas

We'll soon see. I agree with you on the Les Historiques Case.
Much better than the current Patrimony, at least from my point of view and taste. Best, Nicolas
I get your Point Nicolas
On one side, it's a bit annoying because of the history of the brand linked to these romantic smooth shape, tear drops, claw lugs... I could go for many references there. Especially that at the moment not a lot of brand offers these kind of curvy romantic...
You know me quite well, my friend. Quite well.
But I have more problems with the proportions of the current Vacherons. Very big, thick.... I loved the Malte Series a lot, too, such as the Chronograph and the Chroongraph QP. While their " Patrimony " brothers are less appealing to me. Best, Nicolas
On the complication, I cannot agree more
I recall wears ago talking with VC in Munich especially on that topic, and explaining why the older ultra thin minute repeater perpetual is a master piece because of the work on the case, bezel and caseback to have the visual effect of an ultra thin watch...
I am slightly surprised
Not by the image but by the amount of discussion and analysis this teaser image has generated. LOL. respo
I agree Moritz
Even if there are very different styles of watches, some classic and elegant and some more... "original", it is quite coherent when considering the whole collection. There are watches I can see from VC that I won't like to see in other traditional brands....
