Ramblings

Good Question!

When I first ordered this, I was beginning to get a little disillusioned with the bigger brands.  Some things particularly appealed to me (in no particular order):

1)  the uniqueness of setting the time.  New concept where the you can set tick by tick, minute by minute)
2)  VV is making literally EVERYTHING!  OK, this is not quite accurate, but i struggle to find any other who make a larger % of the watch personally than he.
3) He is even making the box.... at least he was
4) He has no technical training.  He is self taught and yet, he strives for perfection to attain accuracy but also asethetics and innovation.  Its admirable for someone self taught
5)  His quest for this "perfection" is now well know.  Afterall some of us waited for 6 years already, I have waited less.  Most of us would have accepted delivery at 95% perfect.  VV wont deliver that.

Now, what i see is that when the watch is delivered it will be through struggles with personal issues, health as well as horological technical issues.  he has literally poured his life into this over the past 10 years. 

I want to let others who may have met the man to tell of his story properly. 

Happy Watching
