“ is key for the future of Vacheron Constantin.” You said it right first time, but I think it is good enough...

what they need is a modern day Aquanaut, affording more people entry : something in the range if £7-10k
Time and date only, versatile
Just my opinion!

The FiftySix event in Paris
By: foversta : October 13th, 2018-15:00
The FiftySix collection is key for the future of Vacheron Constantin . Or, to be more precise, Vacheron Constantin has high expectations with this collection. Inspired by a piece which was introduced in... 1956, the collection unveiled during the last SIH...
Same old, same old

Agree with you Fx that VC should have taken a stronger daring approach on the design & execution. The 56 collection comes across as a poor’s man VC. The watches with date windows need to come with a magnifying glass as the font is ridiculously tiny. I’m s...
I agree, Fortune favours the bold

You'd expected to find a in-house movement, not a Cartier. Design is nothing special, once again these designers have just done some copy/past of an old model, an innovative choice. They'd need long term strategy, but when any CEO is focused on quaterly r...
Just attended the one in Singapore

Some weeks back. Excellent job by the Vacheron team. The whole look and feel is very consistent and similar to the one you just showed. Thanks for sharing, and attaching a picture from the Singapore event. My favourite would be the complete calendar. ...
It s okay ,but i m not on the list

I think the date fonts are just too small to the size of the other figures on the dial.
Apropos! Does the Aquanaut even have competitors?
By: datograph : October 14th, 2018-05:31
The only one that comes in mind and I would fairly consider as a competitor is the Blancpain Leman Aqua Lung. The Piaget Polo S could also be one, but not sure about that...
This brand probably won‘t survive the next crisis.

They are one of my favourite watchmakers but mainly because of their historical models and the Les Cabinotiers Atelier. Their whole current line-up has just three models that I’m attracted to, while their main competitors just as Patek Philippe and A. Lan...
Other than the 56 tourbillon........
By: TonyR : October 14th, 2018-14:15
Which isn't entry level, this whole line is a flop. I'll be shocked if I'm wrong. (and hopefully I am for VC's sake) Unfortunately I think VC cheapend the brand with this idea.......
Is the FiftySix Collection hot?
By: MTF : October 15th, 2018-00:24
FrX, Taste is a subjective thing so I would say that every design or collection will have fans and naysayers. But you asked a personal question: Do I like it? When I started collecting watches, the plan was to get at least one of every major brand viz. AP...
Vacheron Constantin = Very Corporate
By: jmpTT : October 17th, 2018-06:20
Is growth achieved at the cost of reputation sustainable? Remember that the reputation of the brand is built in watches that were made in a time where global annual production was much lower. Probably on the order of FP Journe. When Journe released an ent...
