samwan shares his excitement over acquiring the Vacheron Constantin Harmony Chronograph in pink gold, a limited edition piece commemorating the brand's 260th anniversary. His post highlights the watch's cushion-shaped case, monopusher chronograph, and the in-house Caliber 3300, offering a collector's firsthand impression of this significant release.
This is my third incoming watch in as many as 10 days. I keep explaining (and justifying) to myself that this is merely a coincidence - the ordered timepieces just happened to arrive at the same time...
Yesterday I picked up the Harmony Chronograph in pink gold. Boy, what a lovely piece!
The watch is one of six models created to commemorate the brand's 260th birthday. It has a cushion-shaped case, a single-button pusher and a manually wound movement. It is a limited edition of 260 pieces.
The silver dial is modeled against a 1928 pulsometer chronograph. Note the unusual 45 minute counter (as opposed to the more commonly found 30-minutes)
A mandatory wrist-shot. The 42 mm diameter is probably the largest size I can accommodate for a dress watch.
Hope you enjoyed these pictures.

It\'s such a joy to read your post that you got this beautiful anniversary Harmony mono pusher chronograph!! Congrats my friend! I love this watch but my wrist (6.2 inch) is just too small for it. The dial, case, movement are just beautiful! Enjoy in the best of health and thanks for sharing with us here Cheers Robin
Agreed. My only reservation is that it is a bit flashy, as well as bulky on the wrist. I suppose the platinum versions are more understated comparatively... Best Sam
I'd call it a modern old school chronograph. While the horizontal coupling is classic, many components are incrementally improved from the movements that provided inspiration. Do the pusher and winding resistances feel "right"? Wear it in good health!
The pusher leans a bit on the 'tight' side but gives a rather substantial feel when pushed. Very similar to the Lang & Heyne monopusante chrono, the ALS Dato or even the PP 5960... Best Sam
I have a small, 6.5-inch wrist and this watch felt comfortable when I tried it on. I believe mono-pushers are usually "tighter" than two-button chronographs. Also, VC created what they call a "Go / No Go" system that prevents the possibility of pushing the actuator "half way" and partially engaging the chrono function with out the dial indicators moving. I've been told that this can happen with some chronographs, the gears are engaged and start to move...but the chrono hands/indicators do not st
And the additional information regarding the push button. I didn't know that and will certainly research about it. Best Sam
