Vacheron Constantin Collector's Guide - Teardrop Lugs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- For us, the tear drop lugs are a signature design of the 1940s and a feature, that most are likely familiar with, and even associate with the Vacheron Constantin brand.
The Teardrop Lugs are the dramatic poetry of Vacheron Constantin's classic mid-century design language. But what do we know about these covetable vintage beauties?

Wow, what a beautiful pieces
Thanks, really some beautiful classics 🙌
Great source of information, guys. Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome! Thanks for your feedback 🙋♂️✊
Thank you for sharing valuable information for the tear drop lug VC.
You’re welcome ☺️
I always enjoy your videos, very informative and a good source of knowledge. Good health!
Thanks again mate, It's always nice to hear that you like the videos and that the work is paying off.
Beautiful watches Felix and a superb video once again. Looking forward to more!
Thanks a million 🙌🙏✊
First congratulations.
I like your channel and shop because I am seeing watches which is not common anymore. I am getting time to time some data analysis. About your shop, I like the most the description about dial and crown originality and accuracy report (sec/day).
Thanks for your detailed feedback, it’s much appreciated!
Thanks for teaching me about this great watch maker.
You’re welcome 🙏
Great video! Thanks Felix! Q&A sounds great! I'm going to have to think about that! Looking forward to it in any case as I'm sure your Instagram followers have already submitted some great questions!
Thanks buddy, let us know if you think of anything else :-)
Where do you source so many great watches? Do you also buy watches from your buyers?
Thanks! Check ;)
I love your video, very nice. I wanted to point out that one variation of the teardrop lug is the two tone case. The body of the case is steel, and the lugs are gold. I doubt that they made up the 10% of production though. I've only seen three myself.
There were about four different cases by different case makers that were teardrop, or "lobe lug" like the triple date you show here. They were also made in the US in 14k and a 30mm case size. This due to import tariffs.
Thanks for your detailed feedback! Maybe I should have expressed myself better since the 10% is of course not a fact but rather a rough estimate. Unfortunately, as is well known, you can't find any reliable statements or documents from Vacheron Constantin directly.
After shark fin the most beautiful lugs for dress watches :)
Absolutely agree! Shar fin for the win :-)

Thanks a lot for this info. 🙏 I just (last three weeks) discovered that we had a watch in the closet that we never used because it had a broken glas and came from a family member many years ago. By accident we brought it with other watches to repair and got the info that it stil worked. (Without e battery we said?) ….. It is a Vacheron Constantin a bit like these. How can anyone know it is not a fake? .
Great peaces here in your vid too. 👌🤘
Thank man! Give it to a trusted watchmaker in your near, he can tell you in a heartbeat if it’s an original piece or not. 🤝
Thank you we will.
You forgot to talk about the triple calendar with moon phase!! That’s a very rare watch too
Is there a triple calendar from this design line with tear drop lugs? 😄
@@GoldammerVintageWatchesyes! And it’s very rare!
Thank you for another great and educational video. A question-how do you educate yourself about vintage watches?what literature/channel would you propose for vintage enthusiasts to learn more? Thanks
You’re welcome!! Unfortunately the script for the vid is already done. I hardly ever read books or watch other UA-cam videos. Trustworthy website for me are: goldammer.me - with our own articles by Marcus and websites like Fratello.com, vintagewatchstraps.com, acollectedmen.com, italianwatchspotter.com, amsterdamvibtagewatches.com and many more!
@@GoldammerVintageWatches Thanks, keep up with great work
@@Mare14lj youre welcome and thanks a bunch!
Very informative video! I have a small collection of vintage watches myself, mostly Omega and more cheap brands. But among the expensive brands I think that vintage Vacheron Constantin watches are the prettiest ones. At least when it comes to dress watches. I like Vacheron better than AP, PP and Rolex.
Thanks a bunch! Same here, Vacherons vintage pieces have a lot to offer!!
Hi. Nice sugestions and advices.
I've always wondered why manufacturers don't provide data for their watches. Color, year, type of hands and other relevant information of interest to collectors. One man who knows "everything". PP, VC, AP and similar big brands should have no problem with that. I know it's a bit naive to expect that kind of help, service. But on the other hand, don't we deserve something similar.
For example what was the dial on the pocket watch of serial number x, diameter y, ... That should be an easy and reasonable question.
I would appreciate your opinion.
Hey there, i absolutely agree with you. It’s always kinda hussle to find trusted information for a lot of different vintage references. Hopefully our vids bring some light into the reference jungle
🙏
Wow
Thanks 🙏
Wow

How can I buy a watch from you?

A great review, by the way, I find the selling hand winding tudor big ross have 2 versions, below 12 o'clock big ross logo, there have [oyster date] (2 words) and [oysterdate] (1 word), are both also original?
Hey there 👋 thanks! Unfortunately i have no idea right now
@@GoldammerVintageWatches Doesn't matter, if both are real and original, I just wonder why tudor come out 2 versions🤔
This could have many reasons- like LeCoultre and Jaeger LeCoultre signed pieces for tax reasons and the US market
@@GoldammerVintageWatches Do you think [oyster date] (2 words) is not tudor original? But I can find this version selling at R. M. Gallagher, A:S, carousall... etc.
Only 2 things:
-The light set in your videos is always terrible. There is a lot of room for improvement there.
-The ref.4293 was a private commission by an important and wealthy personality from Spain. Few pieces made.
Hey, thanks for your opinion 🙏 Do you have a source for the 4293 and the link with Spain?
I still regret not buying this piece a few years ago. One was on offer for just 2k
That was definitely a bargain
@@GoldammerVintageWatches it was and it was a beautiful watch
Vacheron Constantin.
? 😅
@@GoldammerVintageWatches As i never had Vacheron Constantin wristwatches so i don't comment.
