The Aronde 1954 has arrived!
One of the best parts about the autumn (other than football! ), is that the watches introduced at SIHH in January start to show up at retailers. Today I saw the first Historiques Aronde 1954 to arrive. It is even nicer than I recall! Vacheron Constantin g...
This one I will have to see it again...
I saw several the World Time several times, and wasn't impressed, but this Aronde, I need to see it once again. I love a lot the shape of the case, very " my cup of tea " while I am not, a first impression, impressed by the dial, but it may change... A pi...
October WatchTime
The October issue of WatchTime has a great article on the Classical Revival in watch designs. They referenced VC's 1955 and 1968 Ultra-fines and the Aronde, as well as new-old designs by Omega, Zenith, Piaget, JLC, AL&S, Parmigiani and AP. Unfortunate...
That is definitely one of the better parts of the fallu season.
Lovely watch, congratulations. It looks really, really nice. It ber it looks even better in the flesh. Best regards, George
All thumbs up in / for this case!
That is a very conclusive VC, indeed. Case dimensions are very well proportioned, as one can see on foversta's picture from the VC Salon QP report, where Mr Gothbi is sporting it. This is how you do it: presence without going into extreme case sizes! Have...
Thanks Bill ...
for sharing that beauty once more. Would not mind if you share even more ... Good to see that the watch shows the wonderful strap, shown at SIHH. Oliver

White Gold model... Alex wore one to SalonQP earlier this month... I could be tempted by that... Cheers Bill G
I have to take a closer look at this one
The more I see it in photos, the more I like it. Now that I know there is a white metal version, I am eager to see that one as well and to try one of these babies on. Not sure I could favor this over the 1968, but it is...very sexy. It is kind of amazing ...
The white gold model was the pre-launch 1954...
made for the Japanese market. It is not current or standard production, though it could some day become such. Personally, I like textured dials best when partnered with either yellow gold or rose gold cases. Bill
Lukewarm initially but its now growing significantly on me
The same could be said about the PP Nautilus which I eventually bought. Will have to see one in store. Regards, Richard.
SIHH 2012 - THE Aronde 1954 has arrived!
... Hopefully, as it was no Limited Edition for Japan ... East meets west. Zen meets sexiness ... Oliver...
I much prefer it in this color.
Although promising in colored gold, now it sounds exciting. Another one I will have to see in the flesh... But this is what I call a true Vacheron. Best, Nicolas.
