Vacheron Constantin Created Three Dragon Limited Edition Watches for Its Third Boutique in Hongkong

In celeration of the opening third Boutique in Hongking, one of the most influential watch markets in this planet, Swiss luxury watchmaker, Vacheron Constantin, has created three limited edition Dragon Watches, each limited to 9 pieces.

Obviously, Vacheron Constantin not only pays great importance to Chinese market, whose demand for luxury watches has been increasing recent years due to the rapid economic growth, but also knows Chinee culture quite well. You know, In Chinese Culture, Dragon is the symbol of prosperity, creative and divine strength, while numeral “9” implicates permanence. So when these exclusive timepieces come to market, buyers will be very happy with the delicate dragon motif hand-applied on the dial and also the auspicious meanings of these watches.

In eyes of mine, three dragon watches presented on rose gold, yellow gold and platinum respectively, are another great artistic watch collection after the very famous Mask, expressing the superb talents and mastery of Vacheron Constantin watches.

Powering dragon watches is the manufacture made Vacheron Constantin movement. And they are completed by high quality black alligator strap.

As for as I know, Vacheron Constantin Dragon watches are only available at the new boutique at 1881 Heritage in Hong Kong, Vacheron Constantin Mansions in Geneva & Shanghai and Vacheron Constantin boutique in Moscow.

Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 and Marlon Brando’s Vacheron Constantin at Antiquorom’s Auction

Filed under: Petek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Watches — Tags: Antiquorom’s auction, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando's Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe Ref. 2499, Zsa Zsa Gabor — Mabel @ 9:43 pm

The Antiquorom’s auction will be held on Septemper 17th in New York City. And among those timepieces to be auctioned off, I find two exceptional timepieces. One is the Vacheron Constantin watch Zsa Zsa Gabor for Marlon Brando and the other one is the Patek Philippe Ref. 2499. The former was produced around 1954 the year when it was given to Marlon Brando by Gabor and now it looks old and a little tarnished while the latter made in the early 1980s is still in great condition.

I do not know much about the Marlon Brando’s Vacheron Constantin watch except the fact that it was a gift from Zsa Zsa Gabor on June 24, 1954 when when “On The Waterfront” was released in theaters, according the engraving done by hand on the case. And as far as I know of , the movie was a huge success. It won the the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Actor for Brando as well. This Vacheron Constantin has a gold case and features guilloche engraved dial and the interesting engraving on the case back.. No doubt, it is a commemorative watch, a highly personalized watch and a luxury watch either in 1954 or at present. But the Antiquorom’s auction estimates have this watch going for just $3,000 – $8,000. Does the appearance really count something?

Regarded by many as one of the best luxury timepieces ever created in the planet, the Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 is in 18k yellow gold and sized at 36mm at diameter. Powered by the movement with the seal of Geneva, it comes with the desirable perpetual calendar and chronograph functions, moon phase indicator. The design, quality and the function represents the highest level of Patek Philippe watch making. Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 is very rare and very valuable now. Thus , I think Antiquorum’s estimate of $250,000 – $350,000 is conservative.

These two timepieces will be at Antiquorum’s auction on September 17th in New York City

It displays complex mechanical functions in simple forms and plays excellent fashion design incisively and vividly. Patrimony Contemporaine is also a masterpiece of Vacheron Constantin.

In eyes of a true watch collector, a complex and delicate mechanical movement may become more delightful if equipped with an simple and elegant dial. Vacheron Constantin brand-new Patrimony Contemporaine Retrograde Day and Date is the best example. It is always an appealing timepiece for watch lovers who know the beauty of original complex mechanical functions.

Except hour and minute display, calendar and days-of-week, which are displayed through retrograde indicator, has been added to the dial. It is a superb way to show complex and delicate technology in a pure manner. The retrograde hand can return a 180 degrees arch within 1/10 seconds. You know it needs to release a lot of energy immediately to guarantee the hand return to zero position. To a tiny mechanical mechanism, it is a great challenge. Therefore, this timepieces is crafted from ultra-light and flexible alloy. In a word, it has a simple yet elegant looking and a delicate and exquisite heart.

Beneath the simple case, there beats a 2460R31R7 automatic mechanical movement which displays hours, minutes, calendar and days of week. This movement, with a frequency of 288,800vph and 40 hour power reserve, is 100% designed and developed by Vacheron Constantin. The bridge features Cotes de Geneva decoration pattern while the plate has round pattern polishing. A brand-new ceramic ball bearing system is used to power 22K machine-carved balance. As up to 12 strict technical requirements, 2460R31R7 has Geneva logo.

The 18k pink gold case has a diameter of 42.5mm and is water resistant to a depth of 30meters. The sapphire crystal glass at the case back makes it possible to admire the exquisite engravings and decoration patterns of the movement. The silver opal dial offers as overall harmonious aesthetic feeling with reasonable layout and perfect proportion. The bezel features slight-arched design, adding an interesting part of the watch complex structure. In addition, like all Patrimony Contemporaine watches, Retrograde Day and Date has equipped with bar hands, four polished 18k gold triangles at quarters and a minute scale of round dots.

Vacheron Constantin 1972 Wristwatches

Filed under: Vacheron Constantin, Watches — Tags: 1972, Vacheron Contantin, Wristwatch, wristwatches — Mabel @ 8:57 pm

1970s is an unsual age, very bold and avant-garde. 1972 is a year to remember for Vacheron Constantin. On June 23, 1972, a wtistwatch of irregular trapezoid shape was born in Paris and greatly triggered people’s interest with its simple and innovative design. This wristwatch won the award of Prestide de la France and left a wonderful page in glorious history of Vacheron Constantin. From 1972 to 2007, the 1972 series kept launching new models of distintive features. 1972 won hearts of watch lovers and impressed eveyone each time it showed up.

1972

The brand-new 1972 keeps the iconic trapezoid shape and features Roman numerals at 12 and 6 which create a harmonious yet prominent relationship on the dial. This is the consistent style of 1972. But 1972 used to apply Roman numerals at 3 and 9. Now the new 1972 Cambree omits this horizontal echo and slightly draws the track of time on other graduations or even has no any decoration except at 12 and 6 o’clock position, leading all attention to the diamomd inlay, which looks like a elegant riband , on the case and the dial. This diamond riband, elegant and vivid, reminds us of those sparkling stars in a peaceful evening. The world is changing every day, so as 1972. Howver 1972 always keeps the classic trapezoid shape. 1972, having a not long history, divides past and present and draws a graceful arch in the future space using a shimmering band.
