Vacheron Constantin Watch Week 2013 NYC

Key Points from the Discussion

• The platinum Patrimony Traditionnelle's hands feature a faceted design with polished and satin finishes, a subtle detail that appeared to be missing from the 1972 model observed, though this could vary in final production.
• The dial of both versions of the 1972 is printed, not guilloché, which was a point of clarification and slight disappointment for some, despite its overall appealing appearance.
• The platinum Patrimony Traditionnelle with the gray dial was particularly striking, with its execution of the Maltese Cross, lovely numerals, and comfortable, unusual lugs making it a standout piece.
• The 1972 model was highlighted as an 'utterly, epically suave, yet absolutely male style' watch, making it a favorite of the tour for its unexpected appeal and strong presence.
• The CR 1907 is noted for its comfort and significant wrist presence, with its dial being the true showstopper, captivating viewers with its texture not fully visible to the naked eye.
• The platinum Patrimony Traditionnelle's finish and frosting on the hands are exceptional, contrasting with the plainer hands of the 1972, and the brown strap color on the 1972 was a matter of personal preference.
