I told you that I would never wear a watch with a goat on the dial.
I was LYING!
From the 19th of February, 2015, we will enter the year of the goat! So Vacheron released two version of its Metiers d'Art watches, the legend of the chinese zodiac with a goat on the dial. I could handle yesterday one of these watches. As usual, taking advantage of the dial lay-out due to the use of the caliber 2460 G4, Vacheron could create amazing dial decoration and pattern. The finishings are perfect as expected. But my feeling remain the same. The goat is far from being my fav chinese zodiac sign!
Thanks to the staff of the Vacheron boutique of Paris.

Hmmmm... A goat on the dial
would perfectly fit to the personality of my ex. wife. Xmas present perhaps? Best, Kari
A goat.
Better to fit the personality than look as a goat ...or a horse. Best Michael
I would not marry a goat if I knew she was a goat...
Naturally, my experience of goat is limited. I have seen them used in Africa mainly as leopard bites. That would also make sense with my ex. Best, Kari
Lol Fx! And here you are wearing this! :p
It's a beautiful work of art and those born in the year of the goat will find this watch special. Agree other Chinese zodiac animals may be more interesting for non Chinese. The Horse for eg (my year !) :) Cheers robin
No doubt the craftsmanship is great but...
....I'm sorry, it's just ugly. I really don't believe in putting a goat on the dial of a watch just for the sake of having a goat themed watch to commemorate the year. There are other ways portray the theme. Who knows though, maybe they will sell a good n...
Hi foversta, As you know I am biased because I like the motifs more from
Ulysse !! Although different artistry, overall I prefer the enamel motifs from UN. Again as I mentioned previously, the goat is a challenging one for all brands. I am awaiting what UN can come up with this year !! Cheers, Gordon will goat be joining ?? ...
