I say if you have the money to spend, get the watch you want regardless of what anyone thinks. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, I invite the moderators to move it to somewhere it is better suited.

Its beautiful watch. Love that Vacheron Constantin Patrimony

Minute repeaters only sound "on demand"--that is, when you activate the slide or pushpiece. Grande Sonneries, an even more complicated type of striking watch, can be set to chime automatically (hours and hours and quarters combined) if the user wishes, or not--if the selector is set to "silence".

An exceptional minute repeater or sonnerie is simply a different universe of watchmaking--to experience one (even if it's not yours!) is to believe.

I would pay extra "" If it can turn back time""

I do admire minute repeaters. I do. I know the watches with this feature are works of art. I do want one. :-)

However, while I know it's not about being practical, the feature seems a bit over the top regardless of whether you can turn it off or not.

.....it will come one day Carlos!!! I'll be in HK next month for 2 weeks, so I'm sure I'll see first hand how times have changed in HK!!

xf384c · 28 February 2012, 02:14 PM

I keep staring at the female's cleavage instead of all the cool watches.

Anyways, I don't have a problem with folks buying luxury watches to show their status, after all, if we really want to just tell accurate time, a cheap Casio would just do perfectly fine.

wokafu · 28 February 2012, 02:29 PM

cant agree more...been to hk over a week ago... those on display were BLING up with green/blue/yellow ruby or diamonds..i thought im in some rolex twilight zone with the theme song playing in my head...

Wow...nice!!

Racerdj · 1 October 2013, 08:37 AM

I really enjoyed watching the video, thank you.

Hairdude1 · 1 October 2013, 08:39 AM

Cool video, as for the DJ running backwards they probably filmed it zooming in and in the clip showed it zooming out, thus reversing the second hand.

SubTTKky · 1 October 2013, 01:40 PM

Thanks for sharing! Great insight into HK high end watches buying...

brokenchains · 1 October 2013, 07:00 PM

Cool vid, now I know how to pronounce Hermes correctly!! :)

zama · 1 October 2013, 07:16 PM

I must admit I was lost in her boobs, as the story went these are special watches I believe the Rolex one came from Stephen King and is the Rolex equivalent of Christine.....

Most are not to my taste specifically but would not hand back the VC if offered FOC.
