If I look just on the numbers ...
there are at least two, which are tooooo big.
But maybe it is one of the watches, which have to be seen in the real world.
I can imagine, it could be dangerous because of some nice details.
My head says: No way!
My heart says: Give it a try ...
My banker says: You must be totally crazy!
My wrist says: Please, let me try ... - just once.

FX, your thoughts and observations are much appreciated. Thanks!

The Patrimony Contemporaine Excellence Platine (42mm)
I have to be honest with you: I was very afraid by this Patrimony Contemporaine Excellence Platine when I read the Press release. 42mm!!! For a watch with a thin bzel, without a second hand... I found the Vacheron decision to propose a version with an enl...
Still don't know what to think about this watch.
Some negative " a prioris ", which have to be confirmed or infirmed by an " in the real " test. I'm still surprised to see VC betting on big sizes ( WT and this one ).... The WT, I saw it in the flesh, and this is a real no go for me, a big deception, eve...
Well, I agree and disagree
You are right, the new E.P. is more complex than it seems, and that, to me, seems to be pure VC -- deceptively simple. The movement is finshed perfectly but not too showy. To my eye, no one creates more seductive cases than VC. No matter how simple the wa...
I have no reservations about this watch at all.....
The wristshot photo is truly superb. Thank you for the article and photos. I recognize that the 42 mm will be too big for some (just as the 40 mm of the Patrimony Contemporaine 81180 is too big), but for so many others, particularly in the US market, this...

I really like it but...
I can't understand nor accept that Pt 950 writing on dial... it just destroys overall magnificent appearance Thank you for pictures Sincerely Damjan
Love it - great photos, and a VC I truly like and would want to own.
Not something I could write about a great deal of their line-up, but this one is stunning. Do prefer the exhibition back and the fact that 'YES' they have a free-sprung balance there. Love the rotor design as well. Brilliant and congrats to VC for this on...
I love this watch
And this is despite 1) what's with the gold extension on the rotor? Need to create more mass because of the semi skeleton effort on the rotor? Perhaps can conceal the extra bit rotor and spacer with a smaller show back. 2) size 42mm is ok with me, as it i...
Managed to see this when i was in Tokyo
Would have been really perfect if it was a hand wound! As i am still hurting from the chance to own the original CEP PC back from 2006, i was initially overjoyed to hear the news of this release. But alas, the word remontage automatique came up, and the i...
Big! Bold! Beautiful!
The "PT950" could be toned down, but otherwise I really like it. Deceptively simple, yet complex. It's probably too big for my wrist, but until I try one I can't be sure.
I was scanning VC home page
And this thread from 2011 just came back up As it turns out, today June 30 2014, I wore this watch on my 40th wedding anniversary. Yes, I'm getting old! I re read all the old posts Here are my thoughts, since in fact, I just responded to another post and ...
