FSOT: Vacheron Constantin 1902 45mm.

[promethus]

You are looking at a real piece of horology history from one of the Holy Trinities of Swiss Watch Making.

A 100+year old piece from Vacheron Constantin.
Original High Grade movement with Patented Regulator
in good working condition, Original Breguet style hands and Original Enamel Dial
in it's original condition with no restoration other than the Re-Casing which IMO have made this a beautiful wearable piece.

Based on it's serial number, this watch is made probably between 1900 -1905.

It's originally a Pocket Watch that have been re-cased into a Pilot watch case
with big Onion winding crown. Lugs are 23mm+. fits 24mm with no problem.

Horology have come a very long from a century ago, but it's classics like this, that defines it's Journey, History and Heritage. Classics will always be classics, it's style and presence will always be Timeless.

The & from Vacheron & Constantin was dropped and officially became what is known today as Vacheron Constantin in 1970.
The first boutique in Geneva was opened in 1906, which means this piece predates the boutique.

Case: Steel. 45mm without Crown. 52mm with Crown. Snap close back.

Dial: Aged Creamed Colored original Enamel Dial. Sub Dial Seconds @ 6.

Movement: Low Beat Manual Winding VC in-house manufacture with Patented Regulator. Patent Date Jan.8.1884.
Keeps very good time with about 30hours Power Reserve. This is a very sturdy movement and will only gain to benefit from a routine servicing from an experienced Watch Maker.

Strap: A 24mm used Rios Black Aliigator Style Strap will be provided. Fits the theme of the watch nicely.

Alot of others in the market have been either Franken or have their dial restored. Worst of all, of recent years, alot of Pieces from Russia / Bulgaria are actually fakes made to look very much alike. Due to the lack of exposure and knowledge, victims have been known to pay big bucks for them.
