I walked into a VC dealer once. I was in a hoodie and track pants and still got treated like one of their most esteemed clients. One day, if i can afford it, VC will be the first watch I buy from the holy trinity
Totally agree! I only wear fancy clothing for work, and they greeted and treated me like every other customer. Took home a beautiful Malte tourbillon and still love it!
Meanwhile, at AP you probably wouldve got tackled immediately.
Yea fuck Rolex and their games. I don't play that bullshit.
I'd agree. Pure class.
People who try on a Vacheron, know more than most.
Jenni, I don't understand your comments on price. The quality is equal to anything from Patek or AP. And comparing similar models, the VC is well priced.
Resale is a different conversation entirely.
I own an Overseas, several Rolex, several Omega's plus a few others (and I've had a few Pateks). The VC is the one I wear the most. It's a great watch!
I agree !
If a mass produced Daytona can be worth $36,000 USD then this watch is a total bargain
I would definitely go for the VC chrono vs Daytona
Love Vacheron Constantin, possibly my favorite watch brand. Recently got my name down for the Overseas self winding - I know itâs going to be a long wait, but itâll be worth it.
Good luck, hope you get the call soon.
You know class when you see it. The world time, everest overseas are amongst my favourites. For me i much prefer the VC over Rolex for quality. Yes Patek and AP are great too, its very subjective.
I will never ever have anywhere near the cash to buy one but even a JLC is very expensive but they like Gerard Perregeaux can be almost put in the same class and are every bit as nice as the tip top Rolexes, Omegas and more. Anything of the top watches in stainless steel start at over ÂŁ10000.
Do you collect a lot of different watches or mostly Vacheron Constantin ?
Did you get the watch?
The AM/PM indicator is there to indicate the second timezone's half of the day. This is not a GMT watch, so the second hour hand goes around in 12 hours, not 24. The advantage is not having to have a second 24-hour time-scale around the dial, but it does require some type of AM/PM indicator, which they went with a pointer. I am sure the pointer indicator is its own special complication in terms of the movement having to operate it, but it was not discussed in the review.
According to some it's a dual-time and others a GMT complication. Source: Wempe & Hodinkee.
"GMT" is just often used interchangeably with "travel" nowadays
The other benefit is that the âGMTâ hand and local hour hand will overlap and only look like a single hour hand when youâre not traveling. A more traditional/true GMT hand canât do that as it circles at a different rate than local hour hand.
Of all the high-end marine-themed watches out there, VC's Overseas is by far the best-looking! Patek itself even got bored by its Nautilus line being worn by each and every pro football player starting a watch collection, so they discontinued it. And Audemar Piguet's over-exhausted Offshore line time pieces are just vulgar hunks of metal.
Although the youtube algo probably doesn't like it, I appreciate these videos which don't have rolex shoehorned into the title. Great video!
Same Arjun same
I've always liked Vacheron the most over the other 2 in the big 3. If I had the opportunity to ever purchase a watch from them I'd go with the 1921. Would love to even get to take a look at one in person one day.
1921 in white gold is fantastic.
@@brownmcpherson5724 I'll second that - just got the 40mm and loving it đ
I was fortunate to purchase this watch from the VC boutique exactly one week ago. I just love this watch. The quick release for strap exchange is a great feature to make the watch look and feel different.
Congrats! Wear it in good health đ„ May I ask how long your waitlist was?
@@tuckshop typically you need to already own a [non-allocated] VC watch to buy an allocated VC watch ⊠at that point, itâs not that long - within a year, probably
The quick release is cool, but is there any risk of it releasing accidentally and falling off the wrist?
no@@Pulsonar
Unbeatable versatility, love to own it someday
I waited long for this đ
Thank you!
brilliant people to deal with , no snobbery , just well trained staff who want to sell you a watch
price is definitely justified when a rolex msrp is around half that and is not nearly as well made/finished
Bravo Jenni for bringing us Vacheron content! The dual-time is too big for your wrist...you should try out the 2305V/100A-B170. 37mm with diamond bezel replacing the scratch-magnet steel! My wife loves it and it's practical with swapping the straps. I wish in this video you would have highlighted the other straps to further point to the practicality of the Overseas line. I am patiently waiting for the blue 4500 - it's been a year since I made the request of the boutique and I'm anxiously waiting to get 'the call.'
Shes only bothered about watches because her fella is...if he was a gamer she'd be chatting about god of war
@ Jenni Elle , Jenni you should know that you speak English with THE MOST BEAUTIFUL sounding German accent . Listening to you speak English is like silk for the ears . FLAWLESS, mellifluous sound . Truly . Your voice is soft and clean like a crisp stream of running water . German accented English is my new favorite ! Wish we could also hear you make videos in German with English subtitles so we can hear more of your native language .
If only your punctuation was as skillful as this lady's language. *There is no space before a fullstop, exclamation point or comma, *only behind.
Jenniâs voice is musical, lovely! Agree her German - accented English is very endearing. I bet she sounds beautiful in German too!
Good review although not sure why Rolex gets dragged into a discussion revolving around the big three. It has no place there at all!
Iâm a fan of the VC dual time. A great offering for a solid sports watch đ
Vacheron Overseas is a watch actually worth the hype of Rolex and worth the price of Patek. And they aren't a one trick pony like AP. They stand by their product with the longest warranty of the luxury brands. Impressive. Vacheron is the epitome of a true Maison and not just a mass producer of unremarkable 3 hand movements priced like Lange grade movements. This watch is far too classy for this flex culture world.
Iâm normally not a big fan of the super high-end SS watches. But this one is the stuff of dreams
I agree about the AM/PM indicator, makes a lovely watch look too busy.
I think I should add an AM/PM indicator onto myself to get my boss off my back.
Thatâs the charm.
I myself own VCO Dualtime for 1.5 years now. It is by far the most expensive thing I have ever bought yet I can't help myself but wear it every day. Its finishing is second to none and the blue dial is in my opinion the best in the industry. Although its made by the same company that crafts the dial for F.P. Journes ChonomĂštre Bleu I even prefer it over that. Tolles Video und super review! By the way the AM/PM indicator is mandatory to read the second timezone and I love the way the date is displayed. Like this there is no hole in the dial that breaks this magnificent blue.
Another great video. Also.....great Flat Eric sweater!
The price is fine considering the amount of hand finishing done on both the movement and the case, plus the rotor is 22c gold.
That Vacheron is a gem. Beautiful watch!
Great watch. I love VC in general, more so than PP or AP.
Spot on review. AM/PM is needed without the 24 hour bezel but more discreet design wouldâve balanced the look of the dial. Only complaint on an otherwise stunning watch.
Thanks JE! Happy 2023 from đ”đ
Beautiful watch. Much better than AP.
I never understood why AP gets so much more hype?
I agree regarding the AM/PM indicator. It totally ruins the symmetry of the dial, and seems a bit inelegant. I think a window in the dial, with AM/PM might have been more subtle and attractive.
Geneva seal also means that you cannot use the thin metal guage springs you see on most watches, including Rolex, they have to be of a higher quality.
Great video, beautiful watch. If I didn't need my car, I would get one today.đ
"Can it keep up?"
Lol, other makers try to keep up with the quality and competence of VC.
Its definitely my dream watch
Such a stunning watch! â€ïžThe same version in rose gold with the blue dial is even more beautiful.
No such watch atm
VC is the "father" position in the Holy Trinity almost a 100 years older than PP .. while I love my PP Nautilus 5711/1R and AP Royal Oak Chrono as well as my two Rolex .. my 4500V in rose gold is my favorite (and arguably finest) watch.... btw, they aren't "one of the oldest"... they ARE the oldest.. because Blancpain died and had been dead before being resurrected as a new company .. VC has been in continuous operation for 262 years. Finally, the Geneva Seal since 2012 has many new requirements including precision testing... as well as case finish requirements. Mine keeps +1 second a day.
I think VC are in a completely higher stratosphere compaired to the other luxury brands. They are in their own echelon and the amazing people behind Vacheron are to thank for it.
For a lot of people, the high price is a feature, not a negative. Many times, these purchases are about conspicuous consumption, and that's it.
Also i agree on the AM PM it ruins the dial to some degree. Reminds me a lot of the power reserve on many Grand Seikos. Just seems wart like.
I have a overseas and I love it.
Loved the review! That rotor! Wow, what a gorgeous movement. That's the sort of movement which demands to be seen. The unique lug shapes on the bracelet are very appealing. And you nailed it when you mentioned how VC has achieved their own look. A lot to be said for that.
Heya jenni. Love your work. Will you ever review an iwc / make an comparison. Would love to see it. just a friendly suggestion đ
A month ago, passed on the dual time at AD, but it was silver dial. It wears large indeed even on my 7.5â wrist.
Wouldnât have passed on that blue dial, I think )
Thanks for this great video. Bought the Blue 4500 in 2019. The dial is not as busy as the Dual Time. And yes the bezel is a scratch magnet. But I doĆÂŽt care - I like to wear.
Hi JE, great channel - do you know that VC also now has an 8 yr warranty on their watches. AP = 5 yrs. Patek = 2 yrs. Rolex = 5 yrs.
VC implemented the extended warranty to 8 yrs after I brought my watch, but because it was still within the original 2yrs, they automatically gave the extra 6 yrs. A very nice gesture.
That is such an incredible piece! I wish I had a chance to have one in hand because ownership is definitely out of reach!
Unbelievable Jenni Elle
Disgusting đ€ź to be sponsored by unscrupulous Watch sellers such a Chronext.
They charge ÂŁ36,000 for a steel Daytona
ÂŁ26,000 for bi metal Daytona
And ÂŁ90,000 do green Daytona
This is very unethical of you to be getting sponsors from Chronext
Do you really support grey Watch dealers who charge public very excessively?
Shame!!!
You will own it one day I am sure!
I have always thought that the Overseas, every version of it, should be a four-handed GMT. The word âOverseasâ implies that itâs a travelerâs watch. No complication thatâs more convenient to a traveler than a GMT function with a rapid adjust twelve hour hand. Ditch the sub-minute indices scale in place of a fixed, 24 hour scale. No need for a rotatable bezel or 24 hour scale. Iâd like to see them make the twelve hour hand jump forwards and backwards via push buttons at 2:30 and 4:30, that way you donât have to continually screw and unscrew the crown as you cross time zones. And if they really, really wanted to make it a professional travelerâs watch then put a separate date display for the local twelve hour hand and for the GMT 24 hour hand as local date and GMT date are easily confused in aircraft and ship logbooks, corporate documents, etc. One time I saw an entire monthâs worth of shipâs logbook entries have the wrong GMT date because the third mate confused local and GMT dates - and everyone else piggy-backed on that mistake for the remainder of the month! Having transitioned from the maritime to aviation, Iâve similarly seen aircraft logbooks with messed up date entries when GMT date and local date were confused.
Vacheron my favorite watch brand
I chose this over the three hander. I love the three hander as well, however I wish the date wheel was the same color as the dial. In addition, the date doesnât change instantaneously. In regards to the dual time, this is my first watch with a date subdial. The Overseas line is special. Regardless of dial color, canât go wrong with any watch in this line up.
Nice video. And thought the same about the am/pm cluttering the dial.
Beautiful movement, displayed. Come on Rolex, what are you hiding?
Rolex should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Vacheron Constantin. Oops! I did it myself.
The peace with two screws just right of the center of the balance jewel is fixed askew, 4:52
The dual tine is my ultimate grail.......perfect
Make a video on top 5 beautiful moonphase watchesđđ»đđ»
Past few years seeing VC get some traction is nice just hope stays in a good area. For me VC all ways been the top maker, same time I still like and will have others a long with many VC models. Thing makes me mad over the years is people not respecting a brand/company when respect is due, for example people down playing VC for some reason or how about RM people saying its a joke a toy no one wants it or its a bubble even tho never went down has hard as others.
This watch is really beautiful.. Vacheron sent one to my husband and I thought, it was one of the most beautiful watch, to look at it together with Grand Complications PF. A real piece of art you wanted to keepâŠ
It would have been nice to hear about the functions of the watch instead of it's pricing and value. We all can see the prices for new and second-hand watch. But exactly how the dual time is implemented and how it's set would be really useful to hear.
Beautiful piece. I prefer Vacheron over the other two in the Holy Trinity. Unfortunately, they are all beyond my price range.đą
@Jenni: To compare Rolex with Audemars, Patek and VC is not correct imho. Rolex is doing fine but nowhere near in terms of quality and finishing watches. Rolex is not a high end watchmaker. Rolex is basically doing great in dive/sports watches but that is what it is. This VC Overseas is perfection and a real stunner imho. One of my dream watches.
The overseas 4500v is my grail watch. One day, one day.
could you do a video of different watches at different price points that have a display for the day? not the date but the day (monday, thursday......)
I bought the overseas and had an amazing experience.
What are your thoughts about Breguet? Could you make a video about it? :D
Thanks for your amazing work quality
This watch is a dream.
Hi Jenni,
As someone of proud Maltese heritage, can you please explain the significance of the Maltese Cross on these watches. Thank you.
I like those graphics on the side that correspond to the part of the video. Is that new? Its a nice touch.
Jenni, what watch were you wearing? It looks so interesting. I should slow the video and see if I can figure it out. Oris Sea plastic???
I am a fan of this watch but I donât really like the way the AM/PM is displayed on this watch either. I really like how Patek have executed it on their travel time watches with a small window that show white or blue when itâs day or night respectively. A change like that would improve this watch immensely.
Its the best in the market, whether in steel or rosegold , its by far better crafted than Nautilus or Royal Oak. The only finishing cimparable to VC is Lange and sohne.
Just look at blue dial and rosegold case to feel the real beauty itself , not by marketing.
I think people who really are in to the watches can feel how better is VC.
Hope you get a chance to review the Fifty six!
Looks great. A very beautiful watch. Way out of my price range though, unfortunately. Good video review.
Thanks Jenni. Love your reviews & love the Vacheron.
Would love to have this piece & 1921 in my collection.
Can only dream.
Thanks again,Paul.
I just watch to hear her pronounce the brand names!
I agree. Not only is she one of the best reviewers of watches but she has a lovely accent and is real pretty.
Will never understand,why VC doesnât get the recognition it deserves!
The Oldest company, the best finishing by a country mile!
AP, and even Patek canât hold a candle to them!
Also Rolex shouldnât be spoken in the same breath !
I would have thought you as a watch person would appreciate the brand more !
đ€·đ»ââïž
Jenni, what are you wearing?
VC is my favorite. You didn't talk about the Maltese Cross.
And i prefer the gen2 overseas.
Yeah i hate that am/pm indicator as well. And I vehemently disagree that rolex is in the same league as PP, VC and AP. How can a machine made, barely decorated, mass produced watch be in the same league as the holy trinity where hand made and decoration is the name of the game and even Lange (ALS) with all its achievements is considered inferior to PP/VC/AP!?
in overseas VC uses in house build movement , but uses blueprints of jeager le coultre movement .
Currently looking at a yellow gold overseas moonphase. đ€Iâm just gonna have to go ahead and do it.
This is the most beautiful watch I have ever seen. I would love to buy it. But I would have to work 4-5 years to he able to buy it and like 10 to afford it. XD so most likely I will never own one. But it is an extremely beautiful watch
This watach is so smooth â€ïžđ„đ„đ„đđ»
I like the overseas better
@@gladlawson61I like overseas too ))đ«
The cost went from $20,000 to $36,000 at the dealers. It is ridiculous.
At 8:57 the luminous paint on the arrow looks smudged and messy, am I imagining that?
Jenni, thanks for doing a video VC. The watches are simply superb, I own a 2020 O/S Chrono with the Blue dial. Now almost impossible to get. Rolex 1m watches, VC 20,000.
The dial is just magical, the bracelet system is great, also remember you can buy more leather and rubber straps in many diff colours - so you have one watch, but many diff looks. Once you have this watch you just love looking at it, the movement, the dial colour, the quality of the finishing. Its day today functionality and wearability is second to none, being able to change the bracelet etc, the micro adjustment on the steel bracelet - its these small things that show they think about the person wearing the watch. And it doesn't attract unwanted attention like some other watch brands.
How about the new 2023 35mm VC overseas? Just the thing for you!
question, the Japanese have jdm watches that they don't export. is there any Italian watches that are specific to Italy? i am going on my first trip out of u.s. and would like to buy a watch overseas but really don't want something I could just get here off amazon. from Italy to France by way or rail. but I would prefer to support the Italian economy over the others. can not go over 5k
You have to see that blue dial in person, no video or photo do it justice
Love Vacheron.
I loved my and enjoyed very much.
Jenni, at last, VC , I love the dual timer, the price is coming down and Iâve se3n a few close to retail from Japan on Chrono, im actively looking, this watch pisses on my Rolex collection, especially the bracelet
@Official_JenniElle............ gfy ntuc
The self-winding one is, for me, the nicest. But, if you worked on a Submarine, or lived underground, it would be nice looking at your watch to find out if itâs day or night time.
jesus christ, the am/pm indicator is for the 2nd timezone, not your local timezone. stop with the silly "live underground so you don't know it's day or night" and educate yourself on how it works
The am/pm is for the second time zone, not for your current time zone đ
@@gurunfulah5085 ...and you can set the 2nd time zone to the same one as you are in, making it show the am/pm for your current time zone.
Please do not compare a VC with a Rolex. Rolex is not Haute Holorgerie and should be compared with Omega...
@Manuel Romero especially the He escape valves, on the fly bracelet adjustments and all of those rolex knock offs they have recently released. Seriously though, the bracelet on the 300 divers is garbage, the 9:00 He release valves are a joke, the clasp on the 007 mesh bracelets are horrible. About the best thing going is the moon watch, which is a bit tired. Omega is priced fairly in the market, as is rolex.
@Manuel Romero There is a reason why the wait list exists. There is a reason why Rolex doesnât loose value and Omega tanks. Iâll give you the moon watch as a winner. Great watch, but thatâs all they have. Look at the secondary market and youâll see that the majority of watch buyers agree that Rolex is a better product. Not to mention the lineup, they have a watch for everyone, including ladies.
@Manuel Romero I'll agree. Fine watch but...Waiting list? OK. Fine. But there are a lot of other watches that are "as good" or better than a Rolex and you can actually walk in and buy one. Rolex? Wait on it, put it on secondary market and make money. Crazy. To me anyway. No skin off my back. I'm too broke, or too smart, or too frugal, or have too much common sense or all of the above, or none of the above, to pay $20,000 for a damn watch. But that's just me. Carry on.......
Oh, BTW. I have enough cash in the bank to buy any Rolex I want. Today! But I can't(not available). And I won'tđ
Exactly! A Rolex is a mass made marketing made watch
this was the one i wanted the most, but at the end, i could only get the plain black dial.
Black dial is classic and timeless.
I don't have 27k
Rolex does not come close to VC. VC has more class. The one I would love is the Moonphase Retrograde Date version.
I bought this watch because I live in a windowless room and never leave, so the AM/PM indicator comes in handy and isnât just a silly useless extra complication.
More practical than another 24 hour wheel really.
Good choice then. Might I also suggest you get a room that's a step up from a prison cell.
@@WrigleyFieldBlues Nah, he should just get a watch with nice enamel artwork of a nature scene on the dial.
Living in a dungeon while owning several expensive watches makes sense.
Lol AM/PM indicator is for the 2nd timezone (the short hour hand), it's not for your local timezone. By glancing at it you would know if it's day or night at the other timezone. It's only useless to people who don't understand it like you.
@@ifjfgvjfidifijf Set the 2nd timezone to the same one you're in or only a few zones away and it does in fact show AM/PM for your own timezone.
People unlike you who know how to think can use all kinds of things as useful tools.
"In a second it consists a minute, and in a minute it consists an hour, as time passes by, watches depicts the graceful, the recognition as well as the excellent, its captivating to be as founded amongst the brands"
Not sure if this is still true but a couple years ago I read an article saying that one of the reasons we dont hear much about Vacheron in the west is that they have a very strong presence in asia.
This is the video I have been looking for, thank you great info on the VC. I'm a professional nature photographer and I'm looking for a luxury & robust watch. Our VC watches really $20K better than Rolex? Thank you, Prost
Imo no, all luxury watches are overpriced and suffer from diminishing returns as you spend more.
I like my Vacheron a lot but I try to not think about the price because itâs illogical.
If youâre buying it to wear outside when youâre getting bumps and scrapes Iâd suggest a gshock or quartz beater.
@@attila2246 Thank you for your insight. Much appreciated.
I want Jenni to issue ASMR video with her saying RRRrrrolex over and over.
What's with the paint on the seconds hand: 0:39?
I love this watch -- especially the base, time only model -- but it's far too large for my wrists and the current 37s are only offered with diamonds, not to mention look like toys.
I agree a bit smaller would be better. 2mm less dia and lug length and I'd be lusting after it. As it stands, well they saved me a bunch of cash :) What I don't understand Jenni, is why Rolex even gets a single mention in a VC review. Not relevant, VC is a completely different class of piece.
I was surprised at that too. There is no holy quattro! Lol
