Vacheron Constantin Reference 4261 Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater Watch Review
By watch collectors is "what's next?" in the realm of vintage watches. We have seen the kind of Universal Geneve and Heuer really climb during the last couple of years, and Rolex and Patek - well you understand them already. The 2 solutions that I've been most frequently giving during the last 18 several weeks approximately, a minimum of when speaking about high-finish vintage watches, is complicated Vacheron and AP's. The standard, the look, and pure, unadulterated watchmaking make both of these groups so fun to look at, and also the rarity and cost make sure they are fantastic places to invest your hard-earned money, particularly in accordance with vintage Patek. Today I'll check out two watches, for both purchase in next Monday's Christie's Geneva purchase, which are simply divine vintage watches, and may actually both sell in the low finish of estimates due to the fact, well, they are not Pateks. And that's just silly. Oddly, both of them have been produced in exactly the same year - 1942.

I'll begin my plea with this watch simply by stating 

What it's, which alone could make a most convincing situation: this can be a Vacheron ultra-thin, minute-repeating watch in pink gold having a sector dial from 1942. So, a classic Vacheron repeater, in pink. That statement alone is deserving of all of you excited, but in addition would be that the reference 4261 is very simply probably the most special and delightful watches available, by anybody (within my belief). We're speaking true mid-century watchmaking, within the very prime of Vacheron's developmental years, filled with the stunning teardrop lugs, along with a large(ant) 36 mm situation. In pink gold. And also the caliber? It is just 5.25 mm thick! And it appears as though this!

This really is good traditional Swiss watchmaking here, inside a rare 13 ligne movement only utilized in 1 / 3 of 4261's created. The number of were created as a whole? 40. Yes. 40. And this bigger diameter watch is among maybe 13 available? You are realizing why this watch is really special, I really hope. Further, the most typical situation material with this early repeating watch was obviously gold, therefore it is fair to visualize there are just a number of these available in pink gold. Having a sector dial such as this? A couple of.

The ultimate factor I'll say relating to 

This amazing Vacheron is the fact that its estimate is 120,000 to 220,000 CHF. Without doubt lots of money for just about any watch, however when you take into account that the outlet invest in that one of the couple of ultra-slim, minute-repeating Vacheron in the 1940s is under the outlet cost on any steel Patek 570, or perhaps a decent high-grade Submariner, you start to determine why this may be a steal. Whether it hits our prime estimate, it'll still cost the winning bidder under ANY Patek perpetual calendar or perhaps a steel Oyster Paul Newman, which you will find hundreds.

We had a classic Vacheron fly within the Phillips purchase in May, even though the health of this watch is not the identical (this watch's dial might have been cleaned sooner or later In my opinion, although it is difficult to state without a doubt - neither is it steel), this watch is completely epic in every way also it should go big. I guarantee that vintage Vacheron will not be to this point behind Pateks forever, so biggest score in now.

NAUTICFISH THUSUNT WATCH REVIEW NAUTICFISH THUSUNT WATCH REVIEW When I have stated many occasions before NAUTICFISH THUSUNT WATCH REVIEW In the realm of watches, your competition is fierce. You might have not heard about Nauticfish if you're newer towards the watch world, but they've been around not less than ten years. They're brand that honestly had delivered my radar for any bit, until I saw them posting about the 550d on social networking. The brand new model may be the Nauticfish Thusunt (1000) even though it's great specs and it is clearly a dive watch, Personally i think the look itself might have been just a little safe. It jogs my memory of the Dark Blue along with a Benarus Moray. That isn't always a poor factor either, each of individuals brands make attractive watches. The Thusunt isn't exactly cheap though either, arriving around, because it houses an ETA 2824 automatic movement. So, could it be well worth the cost, or even more ...
