Hands-On: The Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 (Live Pics, Details, Pricing)
At the risk of either overstating the obvious or resorting to a bad cliche, the Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 is a time machine in both senses of the word. Yes, it tells time, and quite well, but that’s not why everyone got excited when this watch was announced at Watches and Wonders in Hong Kong a couple months ago. That enthusiasm was due to the watch’s throwback good looks and perfect proportions which are inspired by a forebear in Vacheron’s deep archives. Going hands-on with it reminded me just how good a classic handwound dress chronograph can be. 1 OF 6 First, a bit of history. The Cornes de Vache (which I’ll call it from here on for the sake of brevity) is based on a watch made in very small numbers starting in 1955, simply called the ref. 6087 but nicknamed the “Cornes de Vache” due to its lugs bearing a resemblance to the horns of a cow. You did pay attention in French class, didn’t you? Vacheron h

Is this normal - speedy second hand
I accidentally slow pushed the chrono start pusher and the second hand jumps a lot. The longer I take to push the pusher the longer it jumps. Is this normal? It's under warrantee Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sky Dweller question
2 questions for you all: (I apologize in advance if this has been asked here) is there any logical reason why the fit of the sky dweller is tight/snug as compared to other models? I have the easy link open and have the pins set to the farthest setting but it still feels tight on. For such a big watch I feel like Rolex made the bracelet small... not sure why. Being that the SS model is new, most of my local ADs don't have a link in stock. I am being quoted 4 weeks turn around time upon ordering. Also, what is the reason a YM2 SS is significantly more expensive than the SS SkyD? I feel like the SkyD has more features than the YM2. Plus add the gold in the SkyD, the pricing doesn't really make sense to me- of course unless there is something that I am not taking into account?
