My Grail Arrived! VC Traditionnelle Small Seconds
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of welcoming a personal grail of mine into the collection. I am overjoyed! I have lusted for the Traditionnelle Small Seconds for years. It's my second VC, but the best watch in my collection by a country mile.

Congratulations! That's one incredible watch, understated elegance. IMHO it's very well designed and thought of.

What was your other VC?

Thank you! The thickness is 7.7mm. Will fit under pretty much anything and supremely comfortable.

My other VC is one that you'll be all too familiar with! I got it after I was so impressed with your appreciation post

Thank you everyone for your kind words!

I think VC has a timeless hit with this one; may it long stay in production so many others can enjoy it!

That watch is perfect....the 4400 movement ideal....check the older HODINKEE 3 on 3 article that compared this to an ALS Saxonia and FPJ CB.

Indeed, that article, and this new rose+grey dial that VC launched a couple of years back is what tipped me over the edge. Otherwise it would be the ALS Saxonia Thin I'd be wearing!
