KIH provides an exclusive report on the inaugural Vacheron Constantin "The Hour Club" dinner event in Japan, hosted by CEO Mr. Gouget and The Hour Glass Ginza. The post offers a rare glimpse into a high-end brand gathering, showcasing exquisite timepieces and the brand's engagement with its collector community.
Sorry!
The Chronoswiss Historiques 1972Prestige is a distinctive model within the Historiques collection, characterized by its non-traditional case shape. It represents Chronoswiss's exploration of design beyond conventional round forms, offering a unique aesthetic that appeals to collectors seeking individuality and historical design influences from the early 1970s. This reference stands out for its commitment to a specific period's design language while maintaining Chronoswiss's signature attention to detail.
The watch features an 18k white gold case, measuring 38mm x 38mm, which houses the automatic caliber C. 125. This movement provides a power reserve of 40 hours. The silver dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, ensuring clarity and durability. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters, suitable for everyday wear but not for immersion. The fixed bezel complements the overall case design.
This reference appeals to collectors who appreciate independent watchmaking and specific vintage design cues, particularly those drawn to the 1970s aesthetic. It offers a blend of traditional craftsmanship with a less common case silhouette, making it a noteworthy piece for those interested in Chronoswiss's more experimental designs. The inclusion of a date complication adds practical functionality to its distinctive appearance.
Where is the fun in that? Seriously, looks like a great "time" was had :-)
... they were incredibly beautiful pieces.... :-) Yes, I think this type of direct interaction with the brands is always essential and promotes loyalty from the owner side. It's fun and makes owners feel "important", and that is the key..... Especially because Japanese watch connoisseurs are too shy to participate internet forum like this in English. Such a fun event and nicely done. Ken
yearly event :-) I love Tokyo, if it were for me I would be organising a dinner there every other month!
... I would be happy to have dinner with you every other month :-) Ken
you should organise a stop-over in The Land Down Under!:) The Patrimony Traditionnelle Petite Seconde in Platinum is just, just...........a marvel and on Top of my Dream List:) Hopefully I will be able to see it in the metal in Geneva soon:) Cheers Alex Francois from Down Under
so as to get to interact with Japanese watch collectors, as I told Alex. But had to return home after the W&W. Maybe next time. Thanks for the post :) Melvin
