Finally acquired my dream piece! Vacheron Constantin 1921

[@davidb5720]

Beautiful watch, beautifully shot. Looks fantastic on the wrist. One of my grail pieces for sure. Enjoy your watch, it’s a stunner! 👌

[@hand.wound.horology]

Thank you. 36.5mm wears perfect for me. The cushion case gives it a bigger presence then the measurements suggest.

[@HaonProductions]

Perfect size, impeccable craftsmanship. This is my grail as well!

[@hand.wound.horology]

My absolute dream watch, what a stunner. I’ll never be able to justify a watch of this cost nor do I think I’d ever trust myself with one, but I’d love to try one on my wrist some day, there’s just something so beautiful about the 1921

[@hand.wound.horology]

It is an amazing watch. My definite favourite of the ones I own. But the price is pretty steep. I am still sometimes shocked I spent this much on a watch. But that's watch addiction, right? 😆

[@wowsuchname1939]

@@hand.wound.horology ahah that’s how it is, and it’s all proportional I suppose! As long as the addiction isn’t negatively impacting your life there is no issues, there are far worse addictions. Personally I’m slowly saving and looking out for a vintage Speedmaster, I’ve already got a Seamaster from the 1960s that I love, but I try limit my watch spending. I wouldn’t pass on a 1921 if I happened across that much money though ;)

Nah, this is the correct size for his wrist. Looks amazing and belongs there. Sadly the norm nowadays is to have watches that too big.

@philipyoungg thanks for your comment. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I personally prefer smaller watches. In particular dress watches. Cushion case watches wear slightly bigger than the dimensions suggest. I like wearing smaller watches as I feel a watch should compliment your outfit, not be the main attraction.

Do you mean the dial is titled to the side?There is historical significance for this design. 1. Is know as the preachers watch. A famous public speaker wore this watch during sermons and when preaching as he was able to look at the time discreetly without bending his wrist. 2. Also known as thee drivers watch. When holding the steering wheel 8 and 4. They would wear the watch on the inner side of their wrist. They were able to view the time quickly and conveniently without taking their hands off the steering wheel. It's interesting to know how they solved problems back then.
