Bespoke Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Westminster Sonnerie - Tribute to Johannes Vermeer

[@weitsufan1903]

Of all the watch news in recent memory, this IS definitely representing the grandest of the grand tradition of high horology. It is also how VC should flex its muscles. Well, I mean all those tiny muscles connected by intricate nerve systems in the watch makers' eyes and finger tips. Bravississimo to Les Cabinotiers.

Thanks so much for this inspired comment!!!

This is an extraordinary achievement for sure!!

One Of Not Many

[@pilotwjf]

That is some astonishing enamel work! The entire watch, piece by piece, is full on master class. Vacheron setting a very high bar with this. I really enjoyed this video. Well done.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Very happy that you enjoyed it and indeed this timepiece is on a very special level, all the way up there!!! Best to you

[@timeisahumanconstruct9251]

As Archieluxury would say, "this is a mastercard example".

[@gregchapman5556]

It is breathtakingly beautiful. The complications are a technical tour de force. Surely the most beautiful timepiece ever made 👏👏👏👏.

Красота! Уникальные и потрясающие часы! Вы мастера с большой буквы!

[@darrenguy1264]

Astonishing! This is another level. This piece is so important. Breathtaking. We must ensure that this skill stays alive! Human achievement at its best.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Yes, you're totally right, these skills need to be kept alive and thanks to such projects, it definitely contributes directly to it. Thanks for the comment

A truly unique timepiece , a magnum opus for those involved , and a tribute to my personal favorite painter ! So grateful Mark Andre , for today's episode is like a birthday present for me ☺ ! Best Regards

This was truly SPECTACULAR! I'm not really into 'highest end' watchmaking nor pocket watches but the watch itself, the craftmanship and artistry and last but by no means least the extremely beautiful audiovisual coverage of the watch was simply amazing! Thank you SO much for presenting such unique masterpieces to your audience! All the very best from Germany, Daniel

[@vgcamara]

Amazingly beautiful. That tourbillon cage and the gong hammers were spotlessly finished. I usually find enamel work night very appealing and write rough looking, specially if they're dealing with realistic images. This on the other hand is jaw dropping. Absolutely perfect. Great job at filming this masterpiece too. If I were obsanely rich this would be the things I would buy 😂

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

[@nicovandyk3856]

I would love to know how many bespoke timepieces they are concurrently working on. Also, it is now 2 for 2 (This one and the 57260) in favour of VC, PP is falling behind (VC is pulling away); I think this “Les Cabinotiers” is such a great way to show why they are undisputedly part of the big 3. That being said, I cannot help but wonder what PP is planning to counter this re-emergence of VC as THE ultimate watchmaker, especially with the 200 year anniversary coming up

[@FrankQC100]

C'est beau! Majestueux.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

C'est le bon terme en effet!!! Merci pour votre commentaire

[@Nefville]

That is one of the most amazing watches I've ever seen. The finishing on the hammers was really something, I can't imagine what it took to tie up a "holy trinity" company or department of that company for eight years. And you know there is some hidden group somewhere already years into the next ultra-complicated watch, can't wait to see what that is. Thanks for sharing.

The like goes for your video, the watch, well not so much, it's true that is amazing the westminer, and the engraving and the enamel paint on the back, but the thing that I don't find particulary atractive is the size of that monstrousity, to do that, leave it as a wall or desktop watch, and the other a special request? Wait... are we in the 19th century or before when watches are just for the so called "royalty"? So I said meh... the watch looks good, sounds perfect... but not a thing to envy or desire.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Fair enough, but the collector really knew what he wanted and he got it! But it's great for all the people that could work on such a special project, not an every day thing!
