Vacheron Constantin

In 2015, Vacheron issued the first 1955 Cornes de Vache Chronograph in platinum, to be followed in 2016 in rose gold: Then, in 2017, in steel, for Hodinkee, in a LE of 36 pieces. And in 2019, in steel, in regular production: Today, the steel and the rose ...  

They could easily pull off any of your suggestions.... Still, when it comes to VC chronos, the Malte is my favorite ........

Is Les Cabinotiers only for well-established clients?

I think it's more suited on this watch than the tachymeter A fantastic doctor's watch with the pulsometer 😄

The Hodinkee and gold version are nice as they have contrast. The steel version is almost impossible to read time in person

I find the color palette the most attractive compared to other models. It is a tiny watch, I think Ti would end up being too light, especially considering there is no rotor. Tantalum is an interesting thought!

Not sure 🤔

were offered in one watch, a LE Quai de l’Ile

our old THL friend Radek: www.watchprosite.com

That would be special enough (and more easy to machine than tantalum). Cheers, Alex

Tantalum and blue pulsometer dial!!

and pulsometer glossy black dial… please!!!

For that reason, I'd propose a Hodinkee-esq version in steel to balance cost and value. The Special dial would be more desirable than a custom metal (to me). As the standard Pink Gold is now $64K it runs away quite quickly with some custom dials.

I need a Cornes de Vache by Vacheron Constantin one day. Such a beautiful and timeless design. I envy those who has one of these!

As I understood. What would be their current annual production in steel and rose gold? I would vote for tantalum as well

It exudes classicism, very VC ...  

...  

Wei Koh's is the only Yellow Gold CDV I know of and is a killer. Do a dark grey / chalkboard dial, the dots indexes, pulsation scale and a Breguet 12 and 6 please... ...  

My heart said “platinum”; my budget screamed “steel!” ...  

but couldn’t make price work. I haven’t seen any more of these on offer since the past few years. A tantalum version would be great, but it depends more on the dial. A darker color like blue would be needed with a tantalum case.

Let's remember that the beloved 4178 was in production for decades, with quite a bit of variation in the case materials and even the dials. There is no question that the Cornes de Vache is one of my favourite chronographs made today, but the sub-dial spac... 

One area I like Les Historiques more is the dial. More specifically, the metal rings around the sub dials and the tachymeter on the main dial really gives the watch a soft sheen and 3 dimensionality. I wish VC could update CdV’s dial similarly. ...  

the price has increased significantly sadly. But will search for one. As far as case material on this particular piece I am not in favor of the “new” material. This is part of the historique series and as such I think it should be presented with classic m... 

I’ll take the PT

Let's not forget Wei Koh's bespoke yellow gold piece with smoked silver dial, pulsometer and round applied indexes! ...  

I think the inscription « Gradué pour 30 pulsations » has to fill a lot of empty space and imaginary wise the tachometer conveys a more sporty idea of speed, whereas the pulsometer conveys the idea of health. And even if I know it’s very personal, I prefe...
