Am I now in love with VC’s calendars?!


I recently made an appointment at the VC boutique in Orange County & had a truly lovely time with the SA there. He was a WIS, just like most of us! I tried on so many pieces , but I came specifically for the perpetual calendar (leftmost in the above picture ).

It’s. SO. THIN! I love it! Their RG is so much more beautiful IMO than Rolex’s Everrose.

In addition to the Patrimony Perpetual Cal & the Trad Annual Cal, I tried on their new manual wind green dial/small seconds (love it), an ultra thin Overseas WG skeleton annual calendar (actually took my breath away) & a YG 222!

Amazed at how thin these pieces are. Also, the SA said that the movement in the 222 has hacking seconds, but the watch doesn’t have a seconds hand!

Perp cal. Pics don’t do it justice. This thing is wild.

Trad annual cal. I love the pointer date. My only gripe about this is it’s a bit thicker than the Patrimony perpetual calendar & I think the DOTW & month apertures are a bit too far apart. This watch feels significantly less svelte & sleek than the other calendar I mentioned.

You need the Overseas thin perpetual to round out your collection. Great collection.

That piece was stunning. I'd love to add a 964 to my garage after my PT DD36. A guy can dream...

The former. Truly a great ~90min convo with him.
