Thanks for a typically interesting read Dean, always good to learn about some relevant aspects of one of the most prestigious and historically relevant watch brands -- not to mention that Worldtimers are a big favorite of our forum!

And thanks most of all for writing with your usual wit every single time the story would lend itself to it....loved it!
As a marginal comment after 15+ years that I've been in the US, "Foreign Secretaries" here are called "Secretaries of State" (perhaps, as usual, the only country out of over 200 in the world....I'd be curious about this! ;-) However, for the little that I understand of politics, I'm not surprised that someone who was born in DC and essentially been on the same job for *three* generations....wants to call NYC his home! ;-) 
Thanks again for the terrific writeup, which, as always, is going to the Editors Picks section

Thanks. The Vacheron Traditionnelle World Time with its 37 timezones is a true beauty. A fresh caliber and an under-appreciated watch.

Mixed feelings with this one

I told VC Heritage about the piece while researching and, to my pleasant surprise, next saw it at the Maison in 2011. I was able to pick up the non-WT version sometime after, No. 1 even! ...
Thanks for the comprehensive review article, Tick Talk.

I was also fascinated by this beauty 37 time zone world timer by VC. It is a completely new caliber, allowing adjustment of all timezones (not just in an hour increment/ reduction) by the crown alone. The dial construction is also ingenious and complex, s...
