VC factory tour by youtuber @robtheamerican
I found his recent factory tour of VC to be highly fascinating. The level of access he was given seems extraordinary (or perhaps it wasn’t the level of access so much, but what he was permitted to film and/or upload online). I was intrigued by the draw full of vintage VC dials - including a load of rare black dials, ancient guilloche machine, and videos from within VC’s archives. I’ve posted a couple of screen grabs here.

Beautiful building outside - incredible visit inside
I was invited to visit at the end of 2024 and it was an incredible experience: I got to see our time machines being manufactured and speak freely with the watchmakers. It was great to walk through all the departments including the metiers d’art on the top...
Indeed, even more so when surrounded by fellow Vachonistas!
Our first time to the Manufacture remains so vivid, I'm getting misty-eyed thinking about the gang! Here just hoping not to break another pivot... And finally we get our hands on the goodies. IIRC the Traditionelle World Time was the latest novelty. ...
