To my knowledge, they never used an ETA movement.

Movement Question
Does Vacheron still source any of their movements from ETA. I know at one time they used a Lemania. Thanks in advance for your help. m
Lemania?

But...
Lemania is owned by Swatch, so is it accurate to say that Vacheron won't be able to source these kits after 2010? When the supply stops, where will they source the chronographs? Perhaps they'll order them already finished? m
That is a good question
But who knows? Maybe VC has some special relations about that? Funny, I wondered the same some days ago... I'm very curious, too, to know what will happen to the Malte Chronos. Best. Nicolas
