No wristshoots of the attendees? So this event is more of a GTG than say a launching of models?
Yes....

Hi Ken, thank you for your report! Vacheron Constantin is one of the Manufacture I love the most. I've got this impression when, some days ago, I've started thinking about the watches I really would like to have: in this "wish list" I've put more than one...
They are both spectacular models...

... my friend. Nice taste you have. The pieces shown were probably bespoke piece someone ordered..... Can't describe how nice they are.... Ken
What a great event!

Thanks for sharing Ken! Looks like a great evening with great watches (including the mysterious bespoke ones...not sure if they were the same ones I saw in HK during watches and wonders), great company (always a pleasure with Alex and the VC team and hour...
I think you are right...
By: KIH : November 21st, 2013-09:08
.. the timing was actually right after Watches and Wonders in HK, and I am sure Alex and Dominique came over directly from HK to Tokyo. Yes, they were wonderful pieces.... Thank you! Ken
Thanks Alex!

Looks like it was a fabulous evening!
