Thank you Yves,what a great night.....

Vacheron wasn t short of breathtaking pieces ,my beloved 1921,the new WT but most of all the Chagall Opera miniature which stole my heart.

I ve never seen such a display of true craftmanship,a masterpiece.No wonder VC decided to keep it.

I would love to thank Alex,Christian and the wonderful Celine for such a great night surrounded by watches and most of all dear friends.

Thank you Yves for the report.

Thank you. Looks like a great evening. The more I see reports of these VC events, the more I know it would be a slice of heaven to be amongst all those great watches and good people. One of these days, I hope... Glad to see the 1921 is still getting play....

Love the pic of Mo playing hide and seek ...

if only I could take photos like that! A great venue and lovely food. Watch-wise, the highlight of the evening for me, the world timer, which I reckon VC have underpriced. Not often you find yourself saying that in the world of haute horlogerie. Ref 2253 ...

I almost had a heart attack!

I almost fell off my chair when with that backside picture following the World Time watch...until I realized it was the perpetual calendar Ref. 43175! Very tricky ;-) Isn't Christian helpful......

Oh yes sorry i should have stated that!

The transparent back after the 2011 Worldtimer picture is indeed from the 43175! Christian? A true gentleman!

I bet that you were all gentlmen that evening.

Looks like a wonderful evening -- with an array of watches second to none. Great to see Alex in good spirits and everyone having a good time. Wonderfully clear photos -- can you share what camera/lens you used? Thanks, Gary G

Thanks Gary

Used a Canon 7D + the cheap (but good value for money) Sigma 17-70 and 580EXII flashgun (next time will bring diffuser) Y

Thank you for the photo report....

We rarely talk about the diamond set watches for ladies, but VC does a great job with those pieces. Bill...

Quite like this one too (sorry no close-up) But somehow it reminds me the Crazy Flower from Breguet .... strange...

Thanks for the write-up. I know you all must've enjoyed the time together -- and the watches! I love the American 1921! It's probably my favorite VC. I see Mo is looking as dashing as always! Cheers, Daos
