VCs maltese cross tourbillons are so attractive! And the back side is stunning as well, especially with the tourbillon bridge in gold and engraved. An enormous congratulations!

At last, in Harmony...

This one came unexpected. Made in celebration of Vacheron Constantin's 260 year anniversary and announced in 2015, this Ref. 5100S was made in an edition of 26 pieces in platinum. I have never seen one in the metal. So you can imagine my surprise when VC ...  

I remember when this beauty was released...

It just a stunning today as then. Wear in good health, Miki

No, I love it :-)

what a superb catch and find!

I had this VC also in mind when I went about two years ago ahead to order my mono pusher Tourbillon from MB Minerva - I had no clue that there was still any of these harmonies available. Maybe I would have made a different choice, who knows... I wish you ...  

This is a landmark piece which I believe will be of historical significance for VC

I have always loved these harmony cased watches... the unique shapeto me is very VC. I know initially people were not into the size of that case, but it is spot on for you. New in house VC movement shift from lemania and beautiful tourbillon with Maltese ... 

I think it’s the same case, and essentially the same movement minus the tourbillon.

Not too many of those out there as far as I know…

Wow, what a piece!!!

It's an absolute beauty, and you are so lucky it fell onto your wrist, after 7 years of hiding from you.

Gorgeous watch.

One of the most impressive watches from VC ...and great looking.

Thanks, my friend.

Spectacular catch! 👏👏👏

This is the sort of watch we dream of here. Great!

Many thanks, Count.

It is one of those pieces you don’t even realize you have been dreaming about until it sits on your wrist.

Top VC.

7 years in a vault while the VC was ordered. Good it came to you Daniel. Normally i give nothing about chronographs, but your VC is so special that i could not ignore it. By the way it is a moon-usher and the sub dial is clear enough to read the timing ea... 

Thank you Weems. There’s certainly more to this watch than the chronograph.

 
 By: mrds : September 11th, 2022-20:26
I much appreciate the fact that this one’s a monopusher. It shows that VC didn’t take any shortcuts with this watch but decided instead to put all their savoir faire in it.

The best part is….

You are still alive, healthy and posting even after selling the wife 😬👍🏻👏🏻 plus some organs! Big congratulations 🎉 This is destined to be yours and not to worry, organs will grow back and you can always find another wife. Wear it in the best of health Dan... 

Congratulations!

That is an outstanding piece. I’ve always wondered why VC didn’t use all of the chronograph movements they debuted with the Harmony in other models. They had a non- tourbillon model and the automatic rattrapante (which has been used since).

VC used the same Cal. 3200 in a Traditionnelle model, which is very nice too.

 
 By: mrds : September 11th, 2022-20:16
I agree it would be fantastic to see more use of these very nice movements in VC‘s offering.

Thank you, jp884

Huge congratulations, Daniel!

I haven never seen this model before, it is an amazing watch! Pure Haute Horlogerie: the case, the material, the movement, the decoration, the functions, everything is perfect. I love the fact that the position of the tourbillon cage is at the 12.00 and n... 

I do like the dial layout a lot.

 
 By: mrds : September 11th, 2022-20:23
The way they positioned the tourbillon at 12 and the chrono not at 6, plus the large size of the tourbillon, works really well imho. It creates just the right amount of visual tension to keep the dial well balanced but interesting. In terms of weight, the... 

Lovely watch in a cool line for VC

Sorry about the organs!

Bravo! Simply spectacular watch! Wear it good health!

Congratulations on your latest acquisition! Yes! This one does require the sale of a kidney!

Big congrats Daniel

Did you pay 2015 retail? That would be even better 👍

Have a great weekend 👍
