Another dream of mine: Vacheron Constantin Sputnik.

White gold case, 10 pieces only from circa 2007.
Never saw one in person. Maybe this is the true definition of a Grail?
Best,
Nicolas

The AP Starwheel has key similarities to this. However, I much more like how VC did the number discs to look like suspended stars or satellites, and how they designed the hour indication by ingeniously making it so that the hour “lights up” when it crosse...
Merci!

Released in 2009?

That year is the earliest reference to this watch I can find on the forum, although the 50 year anniversary of Sputnik would be 2007 as you note. There are a few past auction listings and 10 pieces is a bunch, so maybe someday one will be yours! Edit: now...
First reaction, VC made this?

Second reaction, are we sure it’s not a UN? In any event, it’s a very cool and unusual watch.
Really?
