Further to Nicolas recent post, I mentioned you would not have to wait too long before it comes...

My VC Les Historiques chrono 47111 has just arrived yesterday and I could not resist to the pleasure of sharing with you few pics taken in a rush today

Hope you enjoy thses pics.

Best,

Mike

A true Vacheron....

But you already know how much I love this one.

Best,

Nicolas

You are even the one who brought this one to my attention long ago and I only took some time to pull the trigger.

It is a marvel indeed. Thanks for your kind words Nico.

Best,

Mike

Congrats on landing this great watch

Actually not easy to make good pics in a rush.

I'll try to make some nice macro ones when I have more time.

Best,

Mike

Congratulations!

This is a stunner- the tones, the texture, the proportions are gripping. Tribute watches usually leave me feeling conflicted, but here, there is no doubt; it surpasses its historic predecessor in every respect. All due deference to the 4178, but your 47111 is the Platonic "form" of this VC style and possibly THE definitive VC chrono.

If I had to choose just one image that captured the entirety of the brand's merit, it could very well be this watch.

I am generally not a fan either of Tributes and often prefer the original vintage to the reedition but in this particular case... I love it.

I would not compare 47111 with 4178 which has an incredible charm and is also wonderful, but would say that with this Les Historiques chrono VC has succeeded to design a piece that combines all the pros : the charm and beauty of the vintage chronos (not only the dial but also the case with the great teardrop lugs) modernized in a very classical way, together with the fantastic Lemania caliber, the ideal size 37mm for such a classy chrono... It carries all VC attributes

And needless to say that the salmon color dial surely ads to the beauty of this one and makes it immediately recognizable.

Yes I agree this chrono is definitely iconic and carries all VC attributes.

IMHO also it is among the best of VC.

Mike

The best of VC IMHO.
Enjoy in the best of health

No message body

Have been locking very seriously at this little guy for a while, a true gem! Almost went for it but then the fricky Freak passed by...

...and was actually planning to make a post on a trio soon...

So keep it secret and don't tell anyone so that they don't steel our idea, LOL!

I confirm you should get this VC chrono if you like it also, you won't be disappointed (ideally the same combo Pt salmon dial).

Best,

Mike

that would be so cool to see, a killer combo!
a few months ago I had them all in the cross-hair at the same time, almost like a "party-pack" ...but hesitated, then something else came...you know the story.
I hope you'll go for it and show us!
cheers,
Alex

One of the most elegant and beautiful VC from the last decades.

It has all, the case, dial, and movement.

Congratulations, you'll have to show it to me !

Wear it in the best of health Mike

Cheers, Mark

I am back from holiday and August is not the most busy period so if you are around, it could be arranged soon and easily ;-)

Best,

Mike

I'll call you soon!

Cheers, Mark

Wear it in good health.

As for the pics, I made them in a rush and the result is nice but not to the level of quality that this watch deserves.

I'll have to spend more time for making real nice shots. This will be the occasion of another post here later...

Best,

Mike

May it bring you a smile always
