Love the cal. 3500
I like the finishing, peripheral rotor, and power reserve. Just like the Harmony, I'll be lucky if I ever get to see one in person, but it makes me happy that it exists at all.
Always gorgeous rattrapante .
Personally this VC is one of the best of 2021 release so far. ...
True. I suppose the quirk makes it distinguishable
Personally So far it is the nicest release after Tudor's. Possibly the nicest chronograph release of 2021
For this movement, the power reserve is actually necessary

I want to time an event...quick, wind the watch!!
Style over function
I can't quite process the implications for VC of this astonishing compromise of function. One of not many.
a snip from the manual
Another surprise; running the chronograph continuously is not recommended. Blancpain, through F. Piguet, have been able to accomplish this with their rattrapante for decades. Are "ultra thin" bragging points (10.72mm cased vs 8.4mm for same movement in Ha...
I think it is an interesting quirk/weakness rather than a legitimate dealbreaker
I don't have any automatic chronograph watches with a power reserve today, but when I did own one, most of the time the indicator showed the watch was fully charged. The related question is, "How efficient is the peripheral winder to the task of winding u...
Yes FabR
I also feel it is not clean, all I am saying that it is one of the better release this year. Perhaps they should have made it smaller and more minimalist.

This is definitely my top 3 favorite releases from Watches and Wonders this year
And one of the most impressive watch I seen from VC. If I have this kind of money, will definitely go for it.
