Simple doesn’t have to mean boring—and this watch by Vacheron Constantin proves it.
As a member of the Holy Trinity of watch brands, Vacheron Constantin is generally less understood than either of its respected compatriots. VC has a legacy of producing some of the very finest high horology complications in history - and some of the loveliest.
This elegant dress watch dates to circa the 1940s and marries elements that truly distinguished the manufacture in the 1950s. First and most notably are the lovely 'scroll' lugs, satin silver dial with applied Breguet and Stelline (star) indices, subsidiary seconds at 6:00, and Vacheron's hand-cranking Calibre 458 movement within. Flip the watch over, and you will find an almost mesmerizing caseback engraving that reads "LKB."
With its timeless yet quirky looks - combined with extensive pedigree, this is a great opportunity to snag an excellent quality timepiece from one of the very best in the business!
