A Vintage Vacheron Constantin which is very high in my wish list. " Pour Hermes ".
Let's say it straight, if its dial would not have been redone, I would have jumped on it. All in this watch pleases me a lot. The case, which is not too thick, not too thin, just perfect in its proportions, a bit macho but not too much, with a preserved e...
It's a pitty ...
That Vacheron and other manufacturers don't pay attention to their portfolio. A watch like this "Pour Hermes" has everything that a dress watch needs plus is "chic". I took some time looking the current Vacheron offerings and I could not locate anything c...
Amanico, lovely picture. As you rightly point out...VC does
indeed have an amazing portfolio from its past. But what do you mean that nothing from its current selection comes close to this piece??? I think the Patrimony collection has quite a few pieces which could be modern intrepretations of the Pour Hermes. The...
The Patrimony 38 mm is indeed one of my favourite from the current collection.
The manual wind movement can be housed in a case whose proportions are very appealing. But I would prefer this Vintage one, as I find the dial " just " sublime, and this case very tempting. This is just a matter of taste, here, of course. In all subjectiv...
You could always request a special commission from
their Les Atelier Cabinotier service... Did Hermes retail VC in the past?
This is sublime Nicolas......
just my cup of tea, the simplicity and elegance of this piece is stunning and yes in a 37/38mm is my dream watch. Vacheron! Aloooo!! are you listening to Vlad??? However there is still the Patrimony Traditionnelle manual 38mm which is also very appealing,...
Thanks for your thoughts, François.
Yes, the manual winfd Patrimony is a nice watch, but I prefer the case, volumes and dial of this Pour Hermes. I don't care that it is co signed, but I love this dial. An unsealed love for it! ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
VC did a "sector" dial in a 4072 style chronograph....
one of the most beautiful vintage VC I have ever seen. I too would like to see this style brought back. Bill
I think my memory failed me
as I couldn't find what I was looking for. I am sure that it was steel with blued hands. Bill
No regrets...
Hi Nico, It just happens by chance that I saw this wonderful piece that I also fell in love with. But not only the dial has been redone which in itself is a problem for a collector of beautiful vintage pieces, but also the size is 33mm and not 35mm. Proba...
