Vacheron Constantin Creates Special Quai de l��Ile to Benefit Charity
Following the Only Watch 2009 auction, Vacheron Constantin announced that it is creating a special series of 100 numbered Quai de l'Ile timepieces that will enable the company to donate an additional SFr.100,000 to the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy. The limited edition pieces will feature cases made from tantalum and in palladium, and the watches will be equipped with mechanical self-winding caliber 2460 movements bearing the Hallmark of Geneva. Each piece will be numbered and engraved on the back, and they will be available at 100 Vacheron Constantin points of sale around the world. About this special series, Juan-Carlos Torres, CEO of Vacheron Constantin, said: Driven by a desire to transcend the gift we had made to the auction, we simply asked ourselves how we could open up a new and more lasting channel of funding on behalf of the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy over which Luc Pettavino presides in such a charismatic manner.

can a regulation drift?
Hi - I have had my three black bays between about 5 and 8 months. The black on bracelet has been consistent at about -1.5 from the beginning. The red on leather moves around a bit....was -1.5, now hovers around zero....some days plus a second or two and sometimes minus. Although when I take the red one off the winder, it seems to gain couple of seconds in a couple of hours...this has happened twice and I guess it is just an idiosyncrasy of the watch...it then stabilises very quickly and gains nothing pretty much for the next 24 hours.The bronze which is the last one I bought was the best of the three and running at less than -1s/d for ages and recently has moved up to -2s/day and in the last 24 hours I would say has lost nearly three seconds. At what point should I send it in? I think they are meant to be COSC -4/+6 plus an extra 2s either side for Tudor - so -2/+4. I'd feel a bit stupid for sending back a watch that is running 3s slow per day! But at ��3k, I would expect it to
