Vacheron Constantin Cornes de Vache Chronograph.

Feb 08, 2018,23:19 PM
 

In the series " The Vacheron I love ", this one deserves to be mentioned as an exquisite timepiece. 


Just one picture, to remind me that I still have to put my review on line, one of these days. wink




Best,

Nicolas

While VC might be very good in Terms of quality, history and mechanics...,

 
 By: nafetS : February 9th, 2018-04:21
They're usually Not my taste in Terms of Design. The cornes de vaches really is the only exception for me of the current Line Up. I like the pink gold one even more and would Love to See a yellow gold one with black or Grey dial.

Not actively.

Just admiring from afar. I love the lugs, the size, the looks. Everything about it is perfect... except the price. Plus, Hodinkee bastardized it in my eyes.

hahahaha

 
 By: Gelato Monster : February 9th, 2018-05:48
bastardized, what a nice point of view

+ 100 !

 
 By: Mike H : February 9th, 2018-06:42
I could not have said it better A perfect watch with a totally wrong price !

I don’t know why, but...

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 9th, 2018-07:55
It seems that VC is seriously over-pricing this one. I think if it was for example ALS or another brand, the price would be 10-20% less. But it is gorgeous.

+1

Perhaps in competition with 1815 Chrono?

Yes. Most probably. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : February 9th, 2018-17:16

Something like that.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 10th, 2018-01:31
I can justify a slight premium over the 1815, but not that much.

honestly

 
 By: Gelato Monster : February 11th, 2018-07:13
This Hodinkee bastardized VC is very gentle handsome. I love the stainless steel body though I prefer the white dial of PT version rather than grey

I do happen to agree.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 11th, 2018-08:16
I like the much better contrast with a gray dial on the H edition. And I like the use of steel. But, it still waters it down. I wish VC would follow suit with a steel version for the masses.

Me too. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : February 11th, 2018-08:52

I also like,

 
 By: Gelato Monster : February 13th, 2018-16:50
the grey dial. It is uniquely completing the H edition and differentiate it as the H Limited. I just prefer white dial as I feel it is more versatile for me personally. Perhaps we can together make a Purist Limited Edition in steel??? White Dial / Panda D... 

Or deep black dial. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : February 13th, 2018-23:52

that would also be cool [nt]

 
 By: Gelato Monster : February 14th, 2018-06:54

+1. [nt]

A absolute gorgeous VC πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ˜˜

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : February 9th, 2018-02:20
Those lugs are one of the nicest ones till today imho

The RG version has gradually grown on me

 
 By: kykw : February 9th, 2018-08:52
The upgrade from the 1141 to the 1142 movement is also a nice touch. Ken

Beautiful watch, love the dial.

 
 By: VMM : February 9th, 2018-10:48
Sorry to disagree on the lugs, but I don't like them. I tried it on a couple of years ago and I didn't like them at all. I guess, as usual, it's just a matter of taste. Thanks for the pic. Vte

No round shape lugs for me.

 
 By: VMM : February 9th, 2018-16:11
Teardrop lugs look even worse, if I can say so. Same happens with Voutilainen's creations, as much as I LOVE them, the lugs are the part that spoil the whole thing. I can't help it. Perceptions, tastes. Vte

Definitely. [nt]

 
 By: VMM : February 10th, 2018-00:36

Possibly the nicest chronograph out there.

 
 By: TheWindingStem : February 9th, 2018-22:49
and one of only two VC id consider to buy. Thanks for sharing this and im looking forward to your review!

Merci, Moe. [nt]
