VC 1955/JL 2011: Hadn't posted a pic of this one here in a few months, but the 1955 is a faithful companion. Cheers, respo...  

Thanks for bringing the 1955 back to mind. It is such a nice watch. Bill

The 1955 is a pure joy to wear. It makes me happy every time I put it on.

very nice outfit Respo, your 1955 is still so appealing. Cheers, Mark

I am not asking for your profession but it seems you are the hard worker and they are along for the ride? I always love seeing pictures of that watch, the back as much as the front. I don't know enough about shoes to comment on their work ethic. I wear ch... 

...I am too much of an addict. :-/ The 1955 is there to keep perfect time, distract me during endless meetings when things get a bit dull and make me feel happy. He is working overtime, I think! I am very hard on my shoes, I'm afraid, as I am a walker, so... 

I really love two-hands watches and your VC is very appealing, even if I think that the crown could be a bit bigger. Ciao, Elio

...that makes them so appealing? I am with you in this preference. I think making a truly beautiful simple watch is a great challenge, and Vacheron Constantin does it so well. Regarding the crown...I will disagree on this point. The size is perfectly in p... 

Browsing your Picture Center, I've found pictures of another beautiful VC: the Overseas Chronograph American L.E. How do you think a similar, quite sporty, timepiece could look with only two hands? Ciao, Elio

And from VC, we have the 222 from the past. I'm probably not the only one here who would like to see the 1120 in an Overseas or historical update to the 222. Bill

We must have been typing at the same time. The 1120 in an Overseas, without a date window please, is a dream I hope will come true. I can just imagine such a watch with water resistance and anti-magnetic protection of at least the current levels for the O... 

I like your idea of eschewing the date in a two hand model, like in the Patrimony Traditionnelle Self-Winding, ref 43075. Bill

...if we will see the 43075 in platinum with the gray dial. That would be brilliant!

The platinum/gray combo seems to have a hold on you. :-) Bill

Hi Bill! Of course, the RO is a major reference between the sport-chic timepieces, as well as I'm sure that - sooner or later - we will have some kind of re-edition of the VC 222. Ciao, Elio

I admire the Overseas Automatic a lot. But that has the sweep seconds hand, and I think that can be a good thing on a sports watch. I do sometimes wish that the Overseas Automatic did not have a date window. I am also a big fan of the Royal Oak Jumbo, whi... 

Well, Respo, as I've already written, I really love two-handed timepieces, even when they are sporty, in some way. I have in mind a couple of examples, a modified version of a renowned watch and a dream-watch. I'm talking about the JLC TTR 1931, you've al...  

And best of luck with your project. respo

Just warn me if you are going to wear them to an event here in NYC so we don't look like we are part of some crazy watch related dancing troupe.

;-)

Except I can't dance :-( You gotta be really careful going up stairs with those shoes on!
