And that got me thinking, maybe it was time to dedicate a good old Hodinkee office talk to Vacheron, and in particular, its complications. So I called up two people who I think really love and understand Vacheron in a way that few do: Mr. Eddy Tonkin, a world-class collector who has been around *forever* and has a particular love of Vacheron complications, and Mr. Alexander Schmiedt, the President of Vacheron Constantin Americas.
In this casual conversation, we run through some of my very favorite watches made by anyone – including some of the most spectacular and complicated watches of the 20th century up through today. The conversation is rounded out with mention of Vacheron’s latest release of the year, a trio of Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thins, which put the cherry on top of a monumental 270th year for the maison.
I hope you enjoy it, and thanks to Alex and Eddy for playing along with my little idea here.
