Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar
An absolutely remarkable watch. A perpetual calendar that is 42.mm x 12.3mm and has a 65 day power reserve.

I have not finished the article yet but it seems a very nice technical feat with great utility. I am not fond of the dial though.

An amazing watch, wish they could have brought the price down quite a bit. Amazing that this was actually a wearable and attractive watch.

Wow, this watch is a great technological advancement. The most user-friendly one in all perpetual calendar watches. The dial design and the half-skeletonized construction look nice, too. But the dial color would've looked better if it's black, blue, or even white.
(Patek should try harder.)

The concept developed by Vacheron with this watch is fantastic. Even if it isn't one of the recent darlings in the industry, VC has been presenting models and advancements much more in line with its haute horlogerie tradition than some of the other houses.

Just finished reading thru the entire article and although I'm not the biggest fan of the dial personally (maybe diff color?) it's still an amazingly impressive piece.

Not a fan of the dial, but a fan of the innovation in this one.
