If you were to be gifted a Vacheron Constantin....

By: WHL : December 17th, 2011-09:59

which one would you want?

Me? Make mine the American 1921:

I don't think I will ever tire of the look of the shifted dial.

Nice list.....

By: WHL : December 19th, 2011-15:51

VC makes too many nice watches. It's a wonder that lesser brands haven't asked for a trade complaint to be filed against them for unfair competition! ;-)

Bill

Defnitely this one....

Ken

Marco Polo over the other three explorers?

By: WHL : December 19th, 2011-15:48

or would any of the Great Explorer watches suit you?

Bill

Okay, I was not paying too much attention...

By: KIH : December 19th, 2011-16:53

.... I have seen only this. But, as long as it has the similar complication or the same caliber, I am okay with any great explorer's )

Santa: please make mine a Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time [nt]

With distribution slowly trickling out....

By: WHL : December 19th, 2011-15:47

you might have to wait until 2012 for this one to show up under your tree.

Bill

Gives us some time to save up ;-) [nt]

If my gift-giving friend is from...

By: polarbear1990 : December 18th, 2011-14:57

Manhattan, I wouldn't mind the American 1921 Boutique New York; otherwise, the Aronde 1954 would be just fine!

I actually prefer the standard 1921 to the NY Boutique Edition....

By: WHL : December 19th, 2011-15:44

but would certainly be happy with either one! And the Aronde 1954 would be nice too. Okay, everything in the Historiques collection would be nice to have.....

Bill

I would go for this!

By: BluNotte : December 18th, 2011-21:47

Credit to our dearest friend Nicolas!

You take the best shots of this beauty mon ami!

Stephen

Some gift!

By: WHL : December 19th, 2011-15:42

How in the world would you reciprocate?!?

Bill

+1, my favorite too...

By: patrick_y : February 7th, 2012-20:24

Vacheron Constantin, in my opinion, has the richest history when it comes to skeletonized movements. This would be a fitting piece. I've heard a similar watch in rose gold, and although it wasn't very loud, it had excellent tonal qualities and speed.

A second choice? A Patrimony tourbillon, perpetual calendar, minute repeater in platinum would be another practical piece that I could envision becoming a daily wearer... And this piece has a beautiful rich sound from the minute repeater; among the best that I've heard.
