Dear fellow PuristS,

this is my first post in the Vacheron Constantin section of this wonderful forum.
Let me use it to send to you my best wishes for a happy, healthy and fortunate New Year.

For myself 2024 ended in a most happy way.
Right on New Year's Eve I could finally pick up this long awaited little treasure:



I am a very happy camper now smile

A big thank you goes to the local Vacheron Constantin Boutique, which is a great place to be at. It was obviously not easy to allocate the watch for me.

Best,
Martin

It is great that you could start the New Year with such a jewel on your wrist. You started 2025 in such a great way! Also it looks like we choose a similar outfit: I wish you the best for this 2025! René ...  

Thanks a lot!

I was surprised too that it was difficult even for a brand Boutique to source this seemingly „simple“ watch. It is the straight silvery white dial. No guilloche or other pattern. Which adds to the razor sharp appearance and modern looks that I love so muc... 

May this mean that I am growing older? :-)

The good thing about „timeless classics“ is that they usually become such for a good reason. The risk is that they may be a too easy/obvious choice. Best, Martin

I am sure it would take quite a challenged or big wrist to make this watch not look great on it.

But indeed my wrist is on the slimmer side and the 38mm of the Traditionelle Manual together with the relatively short logs are very easy to wear. Thank you and best, Martin

I can fully understand you.

And thank you for your recent posts of your gray dialed one, which is a beauty on its own. Initially I thought I wanted your version. But then the clear and sharp look of the silver dial started to grow on me more and more. And it is getting stronger and ... 

Holy Trinity!

Such a classically proportioned wristwatch. I’m sure you are so pleased with it. Congratulations!

I am.

Sure it is honeymoon, but it keeps getting better and better. Thank you, Martin

Which says a lot about the brand.

It is a „simple“ and so complex and well thought theough at the same time.

That‘s what I thought too.

It was great plasure to see a manufacture taking an entry level piece so seriously. Best wishes to you too!

Thanks a lot, dear Druid!

It was very convincing to see a brand capable of building a Graves or a Berkley paying so much attention to a simple three hander. Getting „simple“ right can be so complex…
