Not only the diamonds missing on the the foto sample from AQ
The the chain ring is maybe a replaceent part, the case design isn't 100% ident, maybe there were some modifications during the time.
Look e.g. at the name plate badge on the top it's not the same size.
Vacheron Constantin Skeleton Pocket Watch 57100/000
Leafing through some of my old catalogues, this Vacheron Constantin Pocket Watch got me looking twice! Skeleton Pocket Watch reference 57100/000. Normally I am not much for "Barock" Skeleton movement... But this one I really like! The catalogue which is a...
VC was always on top of skeleton watches game
I find their skeleton watches the best... thanks for sharing this really interesting catalogue my friend. Cheers D
Indeed, beautiful!
Here you go! Europe - Africa - Asia America - Australia Europe - Africa - Asia America - Australia Best Blomman ...
Love the diver helmet among the legends,
do you know what the T means? what technique the dial was manufactured?Lacquer?
I think Mike H can give you better details about these...
As for the T, not sure - normally T=Tritium, but here since its 90/00 and as far as I can tell, there are no luminous on the hands or dial... Not sure, in the catalogue there were no explanation. Best Blomman
Let s page him ,T stands
at the pocket watches too ,i guess it s something very obvious
I'm going to guess it stands for Time only function
As it's the only thing in common I can think of between the Mercators and Pocket Watches that are shown. Various dials were made, the monochrome ones were engraved and there are some beautiful, colorful, enamel dials as well.
Thank you ,i ve seen some email dials
but these engraved ones must be stunning in real life!the T ,actuallly i was sure it must be something pretty obvious ,TY
Correction, I'm not sure if all of the monochrome dials are engraved
I'm sorry, it's been awhile for me to remember all the details. So I can't say for sure if all monochrome dials were engraved. Still a big time lover of vintage V&C, but have stepped away for awhile.
Vacheron Constantin Skeleton Pocket Watch ref 57500, early 1990's
Dasho, thats it. Simply stunning - isn't it. ...
definitely, most beautiful!
I think VC's skeletonization work (or should I know call it open-work?) is some of the very best IMO. As many know, V&C's reference numbers used to refer to the specific case design. So the only difference between 57100 and 57500 was the diamonds set into...

Thank you for the additional scans and shots!
This movement is so elegant! Best Blomman
Did you recognise the variations of the open work, the cut-out's
I guess, every single movement is an individual, probably made by an individual watch maker! ...
Seam to be a variation of that movement, and shows off the naked back..
wow, isn't it: check this article: ...
I haven't seen one of these in a long time!
They are beautiful! The Les Complications collection was roughly from the late 90s-early 00s (don't remember the exact years) The watch was 43mm in diameter and ultra-thin. The movement is Cal. 1701SQ. It was the last true Pocket Watch movement used by VC...
