More detailed chat about the Vagabond III ...

Owners of the Vagabondage I and II will be given priority to acquire the watch with the identical series number.
Sort of the first right of refusal by owners with previous edition/s.

18K red gold Vagabond III

A closer view ...

'Digital Hour' at 10H, and 'Digital Second' at 6H apertures.
Power reserve indicator with blued steel hand at 1H, with minute-hand in the middle.

18K gold movement ... yes this is the 00.

Platinum edition, which is about CHF2K more than the 18K red gold.

Note on power reserve. Full power reserve is 40 hours. The digital-jumping second discs work optimally within 32-hour (within the white zone of the power reserve indicator).
At the 'low power' red zone, time keeping is still accurate, however the updating of the second disc may not be that regular. Keep it wound up above the red zone.

Videos to view digital second and the minute-hand ...

I prefer the Platinum ... how about you?

But they all remain very cool.

Hopefully he keeps producing it, but in a more traditional (round) case.

The model name is a blast from the past

Kong, Thanks for the report. I remember the Vagabondage One although in those days, it was just called the Vagabondage; having no knowledge of II and III. It was one of the FPJ models that I did not get as I was distracted by the Octa Zodiaque and the Oct...
