Vacheron Constantin Launches The Ultra Complicated Reference 57260, Plus Multiple Drop Dead Gorgeous
This is shaping up to be an absolutely astonishing year for Vacheron Constantin. Even without the Reference 57260 (which we covered for you here, and here, and here) it would have been an impressive year for VC just on the basis of its new Harmony Collection (which, you might remember, we looked at here and here, and which we also covered in the latest installment of Three on Three). But then, they dropped the Reference 57260 on us – and now, at Watches & Wonders in Hong Kong, they’ve give us even more. Let’s start with a watch we fell in love with the minute we saw the pictures: the Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955. The name is just one of the many things that sound better in French; it means “cow’s horns” – and the watch is pretty much a solid, unadulterated dose of horological pleasure.

Advice needed for an AP newcomer
Hi all! I am currently obsessed with the 15202, and think I may be taking the plunge soon. But before I do, I gotta do my due diligence. As someone who has bought and sold quite a few watches, I have come to understand that each brand has it's own unique set of questions to ask or issues to look for before purchase. For example, the misaligned 12 oclock markets on a PP 5711, or bezel alignment on a Sub/GMT. What are the quality control issues to look for when purchasing a new AP? Anything specific to the 15202?

Would anyone else like to see a blue/orange PO
What if they got rid of the silver writing and numerals and replaced them and the bezel with orange? Do you guys think that would look cool?Basically do a 2208.50.00 with a blue dial instead of black.I don't know why but for the last couple of days I have been thinking about how cool this would look.

Vintage Philippe Anti Magnetic?
Last night I was talking with a co-worker and as he was showing me a picture on his phone and I saw a picture of a gold watch. I asked what that was and he told me a story about how he obtained the watch. It was given to his father in WWII POW camp by an Italian general. The strange thing is in the face it just says Philippe Watch not Patek Phillipe and Anti-Magnetic at the bottom. I asked for a picture and as soon as I get it will post it. In the meantime does anyone have any insight into what this watch might be.Here are some pics.
