Wait wait wait, you own this AND the VC Patrimony Contemporaine Retrograde Day/Date?!

Some of the coolest engineering in the watch world went into the retrograde day/date and the double rattrapante complications, let alone the watches themselves being masterpeices! Some people love watches because of their beauty, some because of their history. These watches are grail-status because, despite having both beauty and history, they have a unique ingenuity to their design and function that makes them stand above. Bravo on your magnificent collection!

Haha, I'm so ridiculously jealous of your collection You must do a public service and post more pictures of these watches!

Wow what a great video.

It's funny how you always hear about PP, AP and VC being the holy trinity despite ALS making some of the most truly amazing movements!

A masterpiece indeed, I can hardly believe I've had conversations with an actual owner of such a beautiful piece, let along seeing it in person...
