I have been the proud owner of a VC Malte Perpetual for about 4-5 years

and have been really happy with it so far. It had been sitting in a safe for a very long time and it looked brand new to me. I strated by sending the watch to VC for service and it has been performing perfect ever since.

When I buy a watch I don't consider potential value increase and matters like that - I only think about if I like it and if it speaks to me. This watch does that. When I bought it I had made up my mind that I wanted my first perpetual watch and checked out several models. I am far from a horology expert but having said that I came to the conclusion that a similar PP perpetual watch with a Lemania clockwork would cost me twice the price of this VC model. In addition I like the brand VC for its cool design and the fact that I very rarely see VC watches.

While on the topic of personal preferences I know many people in this community prefer white gold, steel and platinum. I don't, in general I prefer yellow gold - specially on this VC Malte. Looking at the dial when the watch did its trick during leap year sent shivers done my spine!

The only thing that is a small pebble in my shoe is the hight/thickness of the watch. Jokers sometimes call these "non-slim" watches for hamburger watches!

Hope this helps

Bon weekend

I am very keen on the platinum watch and would also get it serviced once purchased. The lugs are very attractive and add a uniqueness. I appreciate your feedback as an owner.

Please, I beg you, just go ahead and

buy the watch. You’ll never be sorry. I bought mine, also in platinum, and I love it and will never ever part with it. Until I die that is. It feels great. The size is wonderful. The touch of red on the white dial is so good. The moonphase being engraved ...

This will be my first perpetual calendar chronograph.

I agree with you about the lugs and the more I am researching this watch is exactly what I need in my collection. Understated is appealing to me as I am not worried about the hype watches. Thanks for your feedback.
