My collection did include a Patrimony Contemporaine but I reluctantly parted with it last year. I know just enough about my tastes to know they are evolving. 
I do like a lot of Vacheron's new offerings, including the new Patrimony chronograph, and I know at some point I'll add another Vacheron, but at present there's not a spot in my collection for a Vacheron that my budget will allow me to fill!
Best,
Jed

Following vs Owning....
Dean (tick-talk) below asked a very interesting question that I am now asking readers on this forum to answer. From the poll that was recently taken Dean noticed that "only 32% of those that follow VC have actually owned one, while PP has 56% ownership am...
my understanding is that VC is a challenger of PP
- Firstly during auctions - Dials are too clean, pure without enough warmth (too conventional) so emotively, the choice is less in his favor; But "Les Masques" are incredible but not affordable by block of 4. A pity :-(((( Just my thoughts Thanks for shar...

Following vs. owning...
For me, buying a VC, was based on a few things: 1. being attracted to a specific design; 2. VC's reputation for quality and their commitment to repair watches that are many decades old; 3. being the first person in our family to own a VC (when I bought my...
It is about the designs ...
Well, there is resale value, there is image, there is exclusivity. Aspects that are not of overriding importance for me. I live now, not in the future. And I live for me, not for others (or what others think of my taste in watches). So I look at designs a...
I have been
attracted to the elegance and slimness of vacheron's dress watches for many years but have only purchased a used cal 1003 in the last two years,which i'm very happy with,at a reasonable price. However,the recent releases are very tempting,especially the c...

I follow and do not own, not yet anyway. For me, it's the lack of free sprung movements in the pieces which appeal to me design-wise (mainly the round, simple, two or three hands models).
I had my first VC before I had my first PP.
Actually, I had my first three VCs before I had my first PP. Two of them were vintage, though.
guess that question is for those who does not own VCs
and i do, but i will chip in my 0.02 cent worth. i own 2 VCs, Malte chrono and a regulator anniversary edition. i love both watches. i actually sold a 5070 to finance my Malte chrono purchase, with some spare change left. i also own a 5960p. there is cons...
