Incoming : Vacheron Constantin Historique American 1921 New York edition
I have been searching for a Christmas/Year end watch for the past few weeks. Considered some Breguets, a Gronefeld Remontoire, an Angelus U40 Tourbillon and a Patek Calatrava - all rather diverse and mixed up lol 
Obviously I don't really know what I wanted but was open to various ideas and pieces. Last week, when a bro friend mentioned he is open to sell me his Vacheron Constantin Historique American 1921, the New York Madison Ave limited edition version (LE 64 pieces), I decided this was it!
Some pics to share here.
Here's wishing all PuristS and VC fans a blessed Christmas and new year !
Cheers
Robin

Great way to enter the festive season!
So it appears that two out of the three non-Lange watches at the recent GTG were yours, then? Cheeky, cheeky... I am a huge admirer of the 1921 line and this edition is certainly the rarer, more unique version. Congratulations and looking forward to seein...
Congratulations, bro!
This is a surprise after your Breguet selection post. But what a nice surprise this is! The case / wrist proportion is perfect!
I absolutely love this watch.
Nuff said. Wear it in the best of spirits! Cheers and happy holidays to you too!! Filip
Congratulations!
Somehow when I saw the rebels in the GTG shot, I had a suspicion that this was yours Perfect timing for Christmas!
Great addition to your collection.
This version is attractive with the Art deco dial Congrats! Best SF
I love the dial indeed
The 4400 movement is not shabby too Top finishing with the Geneva seal. Thanks a lot SF!
You player you ;)
That is amazing catch! What a way to end a year Bravo! All the best in 2017 Cheers D
Thanks a lot M4!
My taste evolves but it's getting more and more towards classical and lower key these days I must admit
thanks a lot Nico !
Rare or not, I just love the Historique 1921 series. We discussed before in Paris - the name Vacheron constantin, even if we don't know what timepiece to get from VC (they don't really have an icon), we still want a VC in our collection for the brand is s...
True, my friend. A collection without a Vacheron is not a collection. As for the icons...
They have some... One example? The Chronometre Royal, manual winding. Best, my friend. Nico
True that Nico
The Chronometre Royal is an icon indeed. The one with the white enamel and a red 12 is to die for !
Thank you !
Yes the movement is very nicely finished and super easy to service too Not the most fancy movement but one that can last several life times
I admire your selection Robin!
Wow, that is gorgeous. I had not seen it before. I have never tried one of these rotated dial watched on my wrist, but this one is super interesting. And it is made my one of the best watch houses in the world! Merry Christmas my good friend. Best to you ...
Thank you Michael !
Yes it's a very special watch from a very special manufacture . Vacheron Constantin.... just by pronouncing the name of this great Maison, I feel a sense of reverence for the brand
Congrats Robin. This LE is top even if I have a preference for the regular model
Merry Christmas Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Alkiro !
The regular model is also very nice! In fact I prefer that initially but over time, fell for this New York edition too - something about the old school numerals and heart shaped hand bit me !
You took the right decision. You're a man of taste ;-)
Enjoy and wear it in good health. Best wishes Alkiro
I can't believe I missed this post, Robin
I did see your big news on Instagram, but missed this post. I must admit I am a bit jealous even though I am so very excited for you. The 1921 in RG was my first VC and remains a favorite and very dear to me. But I have considered hunting the NY Boutique ...
Thank you Respo!
yes I remember you have the RG VC 1921, which is beautiful too !! This YG doesn't look too yellow actually. I compared it to my Cartier Tank LC and Moser Endeavor small Seconds (both in RG) and I feel they look pretty much the same Color tone wise. Only m...
Ah...
I remember this one...wear it in good health!!! And do let me know if you get tired of it. Who knows...full circle ;-)
Fantastic catch, Robin!
And it´s good to have those friends ;-) How are you enjoying it a month into owning it? Best wishes for the New Year, my friend, Alex
Thanks Alex !
I enjoyed it for 2 weeks then decided to send it to the VC service center for a spa. Been a few years so I thought it's time for the watch to have a well deserved spa Cheers Robin
