A pic of a similar piece - credit to someone who posted it in this forum some years ago
Unfortunately my other pics of the watch are even worse than the one I posted, so I am borrowing this one. I think I posted it here before.
Fwiw here’s what I think I know about this watch:
VC made around 50 of them. They made maybe ten pieces in platinum case with white gold movement, though I don’t know if that is in addition to the 50 pieces, or part of the 50 pieces. The movement was developed with Lemania (Breuget) during the period that Daniel Roth was running it and, he is credited with development of Lemania’s tourbillon and other complicated movements during that time. I think it’s reasonable to believe that Roth was also involved in the development and production of this movement too. Roth used the Lemania tourbillon ebauche with single main spring barrel and off center time subdial for the base of his own branded watch after he left Lemania to independently produce watches. The VC movement has double main spring barrels.
Note to “kjkt3”: The watch was indeed an exhibition piece- it was included in a multi-city exhibition tour. It was offered for sale by the House because there was already a similar example in their museum collection.. I understand that it was the last of these pieces that they sold.
