Did you notice someone complaining about his PP 5970? :)

Or about his K. Voutilainen housing a Peseux 260?
In house or not in house, this is an eternal debate, indeed.
The biggest advantage of the in house movement is that it demonstrates a more complex approach from the Manufacture, rather thabn housing and adaptating an already known and used movement.
With some reserves, nonetheless, such as the modular movements...
I wouldn't be worried about the quality of a VC Perpetual Chrono... And especially when it comes to the Malte Excellence Series in platinum... A true master piece, from my point of view.
Hope this will help you at the moment of the final decision.
Best,
Nicolas.

the lemania ch 27 chrono c12 aka 2320 is a top of the range movement
By: georgeszaslavsky : August 16th, 2011-00:34
I think the lemania 2327 or the movement that served as the base for the patek ch 27-70q or the movement found in the vacheron constantin chronograph "les historiques" is a proven perfomer, it has been concepted in the forties and tested successfully with...
