VACHERON CONSTANTIN Les Historiques: A Journey Through time

Hello all!

Team PuristSPro attended the Vacheron Constantin Les Historiques 'A Journey Through Time' event in Beverly Hills. Guests were invited to a posh mansion with expansive views overlooking the city.

As we made our way up the private driveway we spotted the fountain in the motorcourt. Valet attendants received us at the entrance and lead us to the night's festivities.

We were warmly welcomed by Ms. Ellen S. of Vacheron Constatin.

Hello ladies!

President of Vacheron Constantin North America Hugues de Pins proudly present with the exhibit of exquisite timepieces from the current VC collection.

Mr. de Pins has served for over four years as Vacheron Constantin's Regional Director in India and the Middle East and was appointed as Vacheron Constantin USA President in April 2009. With over 15 years in the luxury market, I'm confident he will make a strong and positive influence in the states.

Here he obliges us with our request for a wristshot:

Key Points from the Discussion

The 'Les Historiques' collection is highly valued for its ability to display a company's past offerings alongside modern adaptations, allowing collectors to appreciate the evolution of design and craftsmanship.
The 222, a vintage Vacheron Constantin sports watch, remains a highly desired piece among collectors, with some expressing a strong desire for a modern reinterpretation as an alternative to the Overseas.
The event highlighted Vacheron Constantin's continuous 255-year history, emphasizing the brand's enduring legacy and commitment to horology.
Vacheron Constantin's execution in the 'Historiques' line has significantly improved, with designers focusing on reinterpretation rather than mere imitation, making the new watches more relevant to the contemporary market.
The American 1921 is consistently cited as a favorite within the 'Historiques' line, praised for its unique design and historical significance.
Attendees particularly enjoyed seeing variations of the Quai de l'Ile and the historic 222, underscoring the appeal of both modern and vintage pieces in the collection.

re: Impressive event...

Hello Patrick, Not only was the event impressive it was great to see so many PuristS in attendance. As for my favorite VC, it's their Overseas chrono but all the Quai de l'lle are awesome. -MW
