Its 47x28, so a mens size. Euro 1500. My understanding is that its one of the few new pieces without silicium, which is sad. How do you like it?

My first impression

Beautiful design, interesting crown. Delicious... I look more....interchangeable straps (Mmm very good). And then, I find out the little secrets - no silicone. Nevermind, some women lack in some areas but it makes them more lovely. This can compete with the Cartier Tanks and Hermes Cape Cods in many many ways. They may sieze the market segment. And then I saw the automatic men’s range. They look like beautiful Cuervo Y Sobrino pieces. Cheaper, but same effect.

I think a lot of women will love this

Women are surprisingly different from men in choosing pieces. I’ve seen so many women, who don’t read about watches. They buy a watch as though they were going to the forest to pick wild berries or mushrooms. They will go into the AD with a girl friend, look and try on some pieces are ask their friends if it looks good, and just buy it. Men are more like hunters. They stalk the prey a while, and zoom in for 1 big swooping kill.

Can we ever expect the handwind movement to come back again? Apart from very few companys like Lange, noone is bold enough

to produce many handwound movements. That is why the VC 1942 is so special, imo!
