How much of a piece from the Collection Excellence Platine is crafted from Pt950?
Hello everybody, For those who have known me from years back, you might recall vividly of the time in 2006 when VC launched what was back then an unprecedented usage of our all-time favorite material Platinum in a new series known as the Collection Excell...
Unfortunately I cannot help in terms of material usage...
... however I CAN congratulate you on the acquisition of this exquisite piece that, since back in the day, I always admired for its simplicity, beauty and class! It could turn out as a strap monster too 😉 Wear it in the best of health and enjoy! Cheers, A...
Thank you Alex!
For the warm wishes! Oooo whilst i dont really change my straps for such elegant dress watches, let me see what I can do beyond my oh so standard midnight blue alligators!
It's another one....
Of VC's all-time greats. The CEP collection, to my eyes, does tend to emphasize the designs extremely well as a result of the sophisticated and judicious use of specific materials and textures. My sincere congratulations, and well wishes for a lifetime of...
I strongly agree with you on this point!
Having looked at VC's collection through the catalogue over the years, I must say that when they do decide to execute especially an existing model as a CEP, it just simply provides it with such an extra oomph! And coming from someone who is absolutely pas...
Thank you for the vote Filip! ;)
There is something about a 2 handed timepiece in the midst of our rather hectic lifestyle these days ay. It brings me serenity
A beauty as well, nonetheless!
Thanks for sharing! Wear it always in the best of health! BluNotte
Oh it’s not mine, it’s sitting at the AD 😆.
A bit too thick, and that date window. After I joined this forum, I’ve become too snobby 😆😆
Thats an awesome catch too my friend!
Congratulations on your acquisition of this sweet beauty, and do wear it always in the best of health! Cheers BluNotte
Another one from the family.

Ahhh yes thank you for the article!
In here it does mention that not only the crown is in Pt, but even the hands, for this pocket watch although I know for sure that on my PC CEP the hands are 18k white gold baton shape hands, as written in the Certificate of Origin Booklet that came with i...
Understated luxury.
Elegant, timeless, classic - these are just some words that come to mind when I see this watch. Wear it the best of health.
Love your description on my new piece Gary.
Thank you for the well wishes! Stay in the best of health always too ! Stephen
Congrats first of all on acquiring the original CEP reference. As with the use of pt950, i was told it’s used for :
case, hands, dial plate, hour markers, dimples / minute marker, logo, crown, even strap stitching. Not sure about movement parts though.
Thank you for the confirmation on some of the parts its used in Ping, appreciate this highly!
Although as per my post to Smironov above, it seems that the later generations of CEP models has more and more parts crafted out of Pt950 when compared to the earlier models, of which I can confirm that the indexes, (12 of them in my PC CEP), Maltese cros...
What a beauty!
I always loved this collection. The tradionelle was the one I desire. Thanks for sharing.
