Independents

I've been a big VH fan, and a big AHCI fan in general.

I first purchased a Classic in 2004 and wore it for several years until I sold it to buy something else. Later, I purchased a Goldpfeil and now that sits on the wrist of a fellow purist and good friend.

Finding myself remorseful of selling those watches, I recently was able to acquire not only another Classic but also a Antiqua as well, both in my favorite metal- RG.

I was afraid that I'd find the Classic a bit too small for my wrist as I'd since moved on to larger watches, but once strapped on, it looked absolutely perfect- just as it had before. The Antiqua also seems to be the perfect size. I was afraid that it would actually be too big, but it turned out to be just right! I find myself staring at both watches for long periods of time, just admiring the finishing of the movements and cases. Also, for those of you that have not seen, the Antiqua comes in a fantastic handmade winding box that is a piece of artwork itself! Gorgeously finished and matching the watch to a "T".

Here are a few quick snaps of my two babies...looks like its time to find a Trio now!

Don't let that bother you.

You are a collector of such great knowledge and varied and sophisticated taste.

Keep those watches and pics coming.

The Antiqua is such a watch. Some years ago I would not have given it a second thought. Now I can't get it out of my mind.

Love the "mystery" rotor on the Antiqua ;-)

No message body

The antiqua rotor is super special, IMO.  There is no printing or writing on it - just the subtle RG raised applied dots to match the case.  It really is a superb work of art. 

Congrats on your fantastic pair!!!!  I too have been contemplating a Classic, but feel at 36mm it is just too small for my chunk of a wrist. 

Wear them in the best of health!!

Best regards,

they r both breathtaking!

a TRIO
That will complete the set.
Trio to me is a very beautiful and understated piece.

Vianney's cases are second to none.
Congratulations!

These define my horological life.

The Trio as well!

congrats and wear in good health

Not sure the missing watch is called this anymore, but the Trio is my favourite.

Good luck

Particularly magnificent when these two are placed next to one other. Makes my Classic lonely for a big brother named Antigua. Congrats!

Always have loved the Antiqua. Stunning timepiece.

 

Enjoy them.

 

 

Thanks,

I feel they look better in RG than other materials. Good choice.

cheers
