    While the watch industry sports a number of icons with decades of heritage, Vacheron Constantin's 1921 is among the oldest designs in watches, with its original ancestor having been released in 1919 before the design format was solidified in 1921. This year, VC celebrated 100 years of the 1921 with a trio of new editions including the white gold 40mm 1921 Historique American we're taking a look at here today. In this video, we'll dive in (drive in?) to this new 1921 model, dig into the the model family's history, and talk about who might be the right kind of enthusiast for this very special kind of watch.

    That is in my opinion the most beautiful watch ever made.
    Saving up for a rose gold one as we speak.
    Hope to buy one later this year.
    I love driving cars, especially vintage cars.
    So this just speaks to me.
    It's just classy, elegant and beautiful.

    I have loved this watch for years now and today I finally made my purchase. The ladies model in rose gold with the red alligator strap. WOW, this watch is even more beautiful in person. My style is conventional with a subtle twist. This timepiece is a beautiful, elegant expression of that. I too love driving cars and love the art deco period. I also love the Breguet watch hands. I think they are the most beautiful watch hands in the world. AND they are on this watch! I couldn't be happier ❤️.

    This watch has been on my buy list for sometime. I missed the platinum 100th anniversary that came out in April. Currently in search of locating one in the secondary market.
    I gravitate towards watches and fountain pens that have an interesting story about them and this watch certainly hits on all marks. I also prefer white metals for the same exact reasons you mentioned, but if I had to pass up on the search for the 100th anniversary platinum, I would probably go for the rose gold.
    Thank you for yet another thoughtful and entertaining video. Cheers…

  • @lipinglin1994

    Seems so simple, but is at the same time so unique and thoughtfully designed and finished.
    The price tag is a breath-taker, but at the same time makes complete sense for what this timepiece is, and what went into it.

  • @thomasg.109
    @thomasg.109 3 года назад +3

    Great work and presentation for this video, well done, Teddy. I like the watch, the price is more than I would spend on this unique design. I have several other dress watches that are exceptional, A. Lange, Saxonia Moonphase and a Patek Annual calendar. Although, this watch is unique and beautiful for a simplified movement to fit in the case. I wouldn’t spend $36k, too many options for other timepieces at that price. A nice watch anyway. It all is in the eyes of the beholder, buy what you like and love, the rest doesn’t matter.

  • @AttentionDeficitHobbyDisorder

    Hi Teddy,
    There's so much content out there on "purpose built" watches, or a style of watch, like dive, aviation, tool etc., and this video reminded me that it would be great to see a video on driving or racing inspired watches, like the Tag Monaco in the video you did recently. A few watches come to mind as well but it'd be great to see what you think. Keep up the awesome work and best of luck as you grow the business.

  • @Nefville
    @Nefville 3 года назад +1

    I like everything but the movement. VC could take a page out of Patek's playbook and make this a shaped movement for the case. Also not sure why the 4hz beat rate but it makes me think that movement was originally for something else. Awesome watch, one of my favorite dress watches for sure.

    @anthonystevens8683 3 года назад

    Great photography and review Teddy, I love the driver layout, if I recall correctly I think it may have been Casio made a driver (angled display) digital watch back in the late 70's - early 80's that also piqued my interest however I was still at school at the time so could not get one. To own one of the VC 1921 models would be incredible, although way out of my price range I can really appreciate this watch, obviously apart from the price I love this watch that has so much history behind it. If I ever did get one I would be like a dog with two tails.

  • @chazzcombs
    @chazzcombs 3 года назад

    I think it's a really cool and quirky piece. Personally, I've always found precious metal cases to be a bit silly and a way for manufacturers to justify outrageous prices - so the watch isn't for me. I couldn't afford it even if I did want one. But, I can really appreciate its beauty.

  • @realalexmackenzie
    @realalexmackenzie 3 года назад

    I had one on last week. Definitely on my short list of future acquisitions. I do wonder a little about the size though. The smallest watch in the current collection is a 42mm. I am tall and more athletically built than slim, so I find that a small watch not only doesn't necessarily suit the wrist size, but also when seen in comparison to my overall size. Anyway... it is such a fabulous piece that I will likely give the 40mm a try... unless of course the folks at VC are reading this comment and come out with a 42mm version in some future release. :)

    • @Rancid_Ziggy
      @Rancid_Ziggy Год назад

      This will wear larger than a 40mm round watch, so probably would suit you. For a dress watch that’s already pretty large (VC now has a 36.5mm model which may have been since this original post)

    I absolutely love this watch - the prices are eyewatering though! A version not done in precious metals would be perfect, if only as a dream. The only other watch scratching that cantered itch is the Longines Avigation Type A-7 1935 but even that doesn't quite hit the mark. :(
