This is what a Grail watch looks like in the truest sense. Unobtainable for me, but something I would dearly love to have. Whoever had one of these is lucky for sure
Regardless of the fact that this watch is beautiful in every way (and what more can we ask from one of the members of the holy trinity, right?). I want to highlight the quality of the video, I really loved it. Normally, due to my work, I don't have much time to be on social media, so I really appreciate it when there's a video that stands out in that small amount of time. And this is one of them. Excellent, Time+Tide! This is the way...
Tried this on in the boutique, absolutely insane in person. Wanted so badly to buy it but the price is unfortunately equally insane, even for the steel.
First of all. Amazing video producction. Really shows how impressive this timepiece is. Second, in my opinion manual wound bicompax chronograph need to make a comeback. The first that comes to mind are allwys the highest end of brands like the lange chronograph or patek. The only other watchmaker that has a watch in this style in a very good package is Breitling with is preimier collection. I think that the old school lug designs need also to make a comeback. Rarely we see that the lugs are part of the design. I want to see teardrop lugs or even the batman lugs on some vc watches of the past.
One small miss is the length of the hour hand which would have looked better if it just hit the hour mark rather than extending beyond to the middle of it like that of the original 6087.
It's a compromise that a lot of designers make on these retro chronos with wide internal tachy and/or tele scales. If the hands were the normally-correct length for the placement of the indices, they'd look undersized and awkward for how big the dials are. A lot of vintage chronos are like that. The legibility was better, but that approach doesn't suit how we like watches to look nowadays.
1 year ago, I went to VC New York City to buy this watch. They had two: one in stainless steel and one in gold. I tried them on, and I was disappointed. Yes, it looks good in pictures and in the hand, but it unfortunately has no magic - and is stale on the wrist. 😕
Beginning to really fall in love with Vacheron Constantin.

Thanks so much for the feedback - appreciate you

Best video showcasing the beauty of the watch. I get its a sponsored video but this is how it should be done. Congrats!!
That's a stunner
Simply stunning!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is my grail.
Sublime
Great Video. Thanks.
This is my grail esp. the Hodinkee Corne de Vache. The 1921 is a grail as well. VC is high horology for sure.

Very nice video👏
107k AUD seems a bit steep. I figured it would be around the 50k mark. I’m genuinely shocked it’s six figures.
VC nailed this one. Personal grail for me.
VC >>>>>>>>>>>> AP
Turn me back to life😂😢
I clicked on this video thinking it’s about cardiology, instead it’s men jewelery.
Beautiful but that moment though

Underestimated beauty..
It’s so beautiful but those lugs… why ruin such a stunning watch!?
That’s the appeal of the VC though! I think if there’s a different lug style you are looking for, PP would fulfil that void
The lugs from the Patrimony would look beautiful on this, no need for a PP!
