This is Watch Your Style.
My name's Eric.
Today I'm going to be doing a review for you guys on the Vacheron Constantin Harmony Chronograph.
So today I have for you a very special watch, because Vacheron has been around since 1755
and pretty much is one of the oldest watch companies still around today, that is still
in production uninterrupted.
And I am a very big fan of the brand, especially the Overseas, which is a watch that as soon
as I can have a moment to sit down and do a review for you guys, I'll go ahead and do
a review for an Overseas, which I love that watch.
Anybody that knows me personally has heard me mention that watch at least 15 times, but
today what I have for you is the Harmony Chronograph and it was released in SIH Show 2015 and it
was pretty much to commemorate the 260th Anniversary of the brand, which, when you put it into
that prospective, it's like �Wow,� that's a long time!
260 years that they're making watches.
The market of Vacheron is very interesting watch.
It's known as one of the greats.
In my opinion, it's up there with the Breguet and Patek Philippe.
It's a very...it's a watch that has a lot of tradition.
The watches are finished with perfect detail.
I'm a detailed type of person and I know I do a lot of videos for you guys on Rolexes,
AP and stuff like that, which are obviously are superb, but Vacheron is already something
else.
It's a lot more of a special watch, with definitely a lot more heritage.
So the reason that this watch is so special is because it was released to commemorate
the 260th Anniversary of the brand, Vacheron.
And they made a limited run of 260 pieces.
This particular one I have here for you today is number 26.
To me that adds a little bit of extra novelty to it.
Now, I want you to know that the design of this watch...the overall design and layout
of the watch was inspired by a model they introduced in 1928.
This watch features a mono-pushser chronograph.
What that means is pretty self-explanatory, but for those of you who might not know, the
chronograph you could start it, stop it and reset it all with the same button, which would
be this right here where the crown is.
Now, if you know anything about watchmaking and the complications that obviously adds
several sets of challenges...Now, they're not the only ones that have done this before,
but they're one of the ones that are known for it.
And this watch being with the limited run, it's something special.
Now, one something else I want to tell you guys is...I know you've heard this in the
past, other bloggers have talked about it, and in case you don't know, I want to go ahead
and go over it.
There's two types of watch people in this world.
There's watch collectors and watch lovers.
Now, watch lovers to me are also watch enthusiasts.
I consider myself a little bit of both.
This piece is definitely for a watch collector.
Being a special one and all and being all commemorating the brand.
This is something you want to buy to put away and years later, perhaps maybe be worth a
lot more than it is today.
Some of the features this watch has is, it brings the Vacheron Calibre 3300 movement,
which is manual wound and has a spectacular finish that can be seen through the back sapphire
case base.
It's a 42mm case that king of has this square rounded look, which is very unique to this
model and to me, immediately when I saw it at the SIH 2015 show, immediately caught my
eye.
They have a couple of different models that are in that same series, but this particular
one, just immediately with the dial layout just caught my attention.
It's got that nice ivory, bone-white dial, with blue numbers and obviously a combination
of gold hands, which gives it to me just a very conservative and very classy look.
The MSRP of this watch is about $70,000 and I think that it's priced very correctly.
When you compare different models in its class without it being such a limited run and being
an Anniversary edition, I think they priced it right where it needs to be.
Being limited and all, I think it has a very attractive price for the market.
So as far as the Watch Game goes, this is a particular model that I really would not
like to just put it in to that whole category because it's really not one of those watches.
This is more for the serious collector and it's just really more of a conversation piece.
When you want to have...when you get to that level and you start collecting watches, you're
going to have them long term and they're going to be family heirlooms and that type of stuff,
this is the type of piece that's kind of more of a serious collector's watch that you might
want to wear once every few couple of years and really have a conversation about it.
To the normal eye of someone that doesn't know about watches, it might just look like
a nice gold watch, but to a watch connoisseur or collector, then it's gonna really obviously
spark a conversation.
This is a type of watch...Vacheron watches in general is a brand that, just in my opinion,
has been very overlooked.
It's very hot in the European market and I love the brand.
I can't stress it enough.
It's very overlooked.
I can't tell you how many times I've showed people an Overseas and they've with the Daytona.
For example, Rolex Daytona it's just so much more marketable and so much more commercial.
That's the only thing as far as the Watch Game Goes...it's no doubt about it.
It's a heavy piece, but I don't want to describe it like that.
This is more of a collector piece, more of a conversation piece.
It has a very nice presentation box.
This is something you just sit down and really talk about, because in reality, it is something
special.
