Explore Jurry's Vacheron Constantin Harmony in red gold, perfectly paired with a fine Rioja and charcuterie. Discover how luxury watches enhance life's moments.

Jurry, a respected member of the WatchProSite community, shares a personal moment of culinary and horological appreciation, pairing a fine Rioja with charcuterie and his Vacheron Constantin Harmony. His post beautifully illustrates how a luxury timepiece can complement and enhance life's simple pleasures, emphasizing the aesthetic harmony between the watch's warm red gold and the meal's rich tones. This reflection offers readers a glimpse into the lifestyle aspect of watch collecting, moving beyond technical specifications to the emotional connection with a cherished object.

For this evening I’ve spoiled myself with a nice Marques de Riscal, a fine rioja which is at its best if accompanied with some fine charcuterie.

The beef is semi dried and little but spicy from Switzerland, the wine from Spain, but the mustard is home made from my hometown. Honey mustard incredible good.

And in my view the Harmony is an easy choice for this. The glow of the warm red gold matches the other components. The traditional layout and creamy off white dial blends in as if it was designed for this.

Cheers everyone enjoy your weekend.

And for those who observe the fast, (which I by the way during day time also do) be strong be good and to all: be safe

Yes it is

Especially if we are able to remain grateful for what we’ve got, instead of so many who envy what they want (which in itself is fine we all do) but forget to cherish what they have. The joy in possession is not showing but sharing
