So logical
Adding this feature whereby you can select active or standby is so logical that I’m wondering why it was never done before (well as far as I know).
The watch itself, hmmm bit too general for my taste but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see this technology appear in other VC movements as well
SIHH 2019: Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Twinbeat. One of the most interesting watch of the Salon.
It is too bad that I didn't have the time to have a photo session at the Vacheron Booth, this year, because I missed that one of the most interesting watch of this year, the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Twinbeat. What do we have, here? A watch offer...
Vacheron Constantin is really rocking complications in recent years but they should focus on their primary collections, too.
They should thin their portfolio and start to make some reasonable sized classical watches again. Also I'm asking myself who decided to release the Overseas Ultra-Thin in white gold? Like wtf!
Ha, very good question at the end.
Wouldn’t it be simpler with easy to use pushers to correct the perpetual calendar date? Well put Nicolas. I am in love with this dual frequency intellectually and aesthetically despite this question. It’s out of my reach, but if it was a little more morta...
For me, one of the best from this years SIHH!
Regardless of brand, every year, we all ask these manufacturers for something new and innovative. Well, here it is! And what a creative solution to the PC “downfalls”. Speaking of setting forwards or backwards, how many other brands offer this? I can thin...

Montblanc is the newest addition with this years release in the Heritage Perpetual Calendar. Price point highly competitive at 15,000 € for the stainless steel version.
I love the concept of this watch BUT...
...am less than thrilled with the logo being printed (or so it appears from other photos I've seen) underneath the crystal. In this case I believe it should have been removed from the front entirely...branding on the back is sufficient. And it's a perpetu...
Exceptional, on many levels. And quite attractive!
The price precludes it from ever being one I would own, but I sure admire it. Bravo, VC!
Switch
Switching between 5 and 1.2 Hz is something that’s in hindsight so logical that it makes you wonder why nobody else ever thought about it. The watch itself is not my style (no fan of open dials) but I’m sure this technique will be applied in other future ...
A great watch
It’s nice to see something other than the usual supercomplication cocktails being made for statement watches. Well out of my price range but makes me respect not just the heritage but the vision and execution of VC. The halo effect of such a piece has ach...
Incredible idea and mouvement, disappointing face
I saw it (albeit not on my wrist). I have to say I absolutely love the concept and the mouvement’s execution, however, I’m left completely cold by the dial side. The use of the red for the frequency indicator and the power reserve is a big mismatch with t...
Maybe conceptual is the right word. Or too technical?
In any case, it is indeed a matter of taste. I really hope they come up with variations with different dials. I may be tempted then...
WOW. Thanks for the informative post!
I had seen this one featured on the VC home page, I think, but couldn't figure out where it stood in the collection. Of course, I suspected it was out of my price range. Thanks for confirming that. Everything everyone says is spot on: what a great job the...

Innovation Is Great And...
... I fully appreciate what VC is going for here. They have clearly done something maverick, which we rarely see in this industry. I hope that switching back and forth between the balance wheels doesn't end up breaking a two-hundred-thousand-dollar watch....
