    I agree with Wei's comment during the lunch chat that people at VC are very nice. I've walked in off the street to several VC boutiques in the UK, Canada, and the USA and always been greeted warmly and had very positive discussions with the employees. All encouraging to try watches on. VC has hired very good representatives, not an experience i've had with other brands!

      mileage varies. I tried to book an appointment with my local boutique and was told not to come as they had nothing. I found this odd given other brands don't have anything either but will have discussions and introduce you to their brands. To be fair this was in 2022 in the middle of the hype, even now in 2023 I've seen walk-ins attempt to go into the boutique only to be turned away.

      I've experienced the opposite. Went to a VC boutique in NY in 2019 and the store only has the other guy and me, there were 5 agents there and they are just chatting, they knew we were there but just continued to ignore us. Went to ALS boutique just a couple stores down and there were the nicest people, they insisted I try some of their pieces even thou I've told them I'm not buying any. They just said just to come back anytime if I'm ready to buy one. Bought my first ALS Saxonia last year at the same store.

      I haven’t gone into one but it’s only good business. Nowadays, a lot of richest people don’t dress extravagantly so it’s good to treat everyone well. Also, maybe that person that couldn’t afford it today will tomorrow and they’ll remember who treated them well

    VC is my favorite brand. I can’t wait to see if they’ll ever produce the 222 in white gold, in large numbers. As well as the Overseas.
    I’m sure they have some surprises up their sleeves for us.
    Great video 🥂

    • @johnnyboy1586

    • @alexflores4458
      @alexflores4458 3 місяці тому

      Same here, I do like the oak and the nautilus regardless of how acclaimed have been, but the 222 it's just something else, perfectly balance and cohesive design

  • @tsibren

    When I see Vacheron Constantin's timepieces, I always get reminded of a great quote from Chef Marco Pierre White: "Perfection is lots of little things done well." I never was a fan of gold jewellery or gold watches, but with this 222 that completely changed. It's absolutely gorgeous and probably has the most beautiful bracelet I've seen.

    And why rerelease the 222 now? Surfing the integrated watches wave perhaps? And why releasing the overseas back in the days as opposed to refining the 222 to make it the direct competitor to nautilus and royal oak? There now exists 2 integrated sports watches in vc catalogue - cannibalization will occur once demand for watches drops (which already started). Anyway great watch and discussion but many important questions were missed (obviously on purpose).
