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
That elevator shot/monologue, pure class.
Delighted for you, Wei. Well deserved and it's always a pleasure listening to your knowlege and enthusiasm.
Wow! Beautiful timepiece! Imagine being able to get one of these, delivered by Mr. Selmoni, himself! What an experience!
Wei koh sure knows how to keep a good conversation going. Love the content.
Superb video. Vacheron is the pinnacle of haute horology with the friendliest and nicest people in the business. That 222 is a stunner.
Unboxing the 222 with a very close friend and central figure of VC, Christian Selmoni, with whom an extraordinary bespoke yellow gold Cornes de Vache was made some years ago: epic! I think we are all very happy for you, Wei Koh! All the best!
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 🥂
Agree and in steel to with different dial colours….
Waiting for an announcement in steel. Will put my name on that list before anybody can😅
I think it's the first time I've seen Wei so serious / nervous in a video when he was opening that box. Congrats on such a cool watch
Oh boy! So fortunate to not only obtain this amazing piece but to inbox at VC HQ is awe-inspiring! Enjoy your 222 in best of health for many years to come 👊
Very beautiful ❤️ I am on the wait list for Historique 222 as well. Hopefully I will get mine soon 🤞
This watch is perfection
Deciding between this and a Tissot PRX
PRX is also great in its own right, worth a thought.
Congrats! Stunning piece! Really liked the unboxing moment of this amazing watch! Keep it up guys!
Congrats on the 222, top piece . Loved the power slap videos u guys made . Very funny
Thanks so much!
Congratulations Wei ❤ great episode thank you for sharing this
Simply gorgeous💥⌚ & congratulations 👍
I am simply OBSESSED with it. Thank You for the video.
That was fantastic! I have a Vacheron that I've owned for going on forty years.
What a collection video! So cool!!! Congrats wei koh!!! Looks amazinggg
Patek , Vacheron and Lange do not depend on one model to be successful..., That is the real watch trinity ...chapeau VC...
Coute de foudre, infatuation, enamoramiento, this watch is a dream. Thanks for showing us.
What a beautiful watch.
Gorgeous PRX😂
The 222 is the most beautiful watch ever made. Period.
Congratulations! That’s a piece of art and history! Let Her cheer you the longest possible!
Great content as always!
I will be collecting my 222 from Paris next week - cannot wait for the collection experience & to hold this piece in my hands - ALL MINE!!!!!!
To me personally, 222 is above nautilus and royal oak
I do like the oak,but the nautilus doesn't do anything for me
The 222 is beautiful, especially that bracelet
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
That was well done. Congratulations on a beautiful watch.
Congratulations Wei, well earned.
Absolute beauty. I honestly think this is close to the perfect watch. What more do you need?
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.
So true!
My dream watch is Vacheron Constantin Chronomètre Royal.... hopefully soon I'll get it 😊
I think the date window position in the vintage version is more balanced. But it's still beautiful
Stunning timepiece ❤❤❤
So elegance! Congratulations! This one will be vsvip only! I hope they will do an ultrathin ss overseas which is more obtainable!
JLC are also nice people.
Great watch, picked mine up late in 2022. It is special in every way. People waiting for a SS version might be waiting a very very long time.
Makes no sense. It was originally a steel watch, it should come back in steel.
Awesome interiew by Wei, the Best
Glad you enjoyed it!
Came for the watch, and stayed for Wei's jacket. Noticed the rolled Neapolitan rolled sleeve head and the buttonhole 🤌🤌
what food did they serve looks nice
congrats 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wish it had a sub dial seconds hand. When I gaze at my watches I like to see movement.
Ive had the pleasure of owning one as well but the winding sound is quite crunchy, almost like it wasn't lubed properly but the boutique staff assured me that its normal. Did you experience the same thing?
I finally got it！
222 looks like the Raymond Weil Flamenco.
What was that stainless steel Vacheron you showed on the screen? Never seen that one before.
That is the original 222 from the 70s'
@@RevolutionWatch Thank you for the reply. I knew of the other 222. I was talking about when you had the Overseas ref: 42040 in the frame. I had to do some digging to find it. Effing AMAZING!!! Vacheron needs to remake that one in a 41mm. BEAUTIFUL!!!
Congrats Wei. Well it in good health. Did I get it right that it took more than an year to be delivered?
Yes it did!
@@RevolutionWatch Amazing! It definitively made it more special. Congratulations again!!
The One.
75+ on the list in Zurich… 2 pieces a year
Vacheron needs to introduce a steel version of the 222. Makes it more accessible
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).
The new 222 date window is going to left, is not align with the the date window. Proportion don’t look right. It looks like PRX 40mm
That's a grail watch.
Killa
Which watch is Christian Selmoni wearing?
phidias I believe
❤We make very few watches but we make them very well!❤ better than « One of not many? » ??
Kinda wild that a person has to seem so thankful to the company they’re spending a ton of money at.
Platinum please the gold is a bit too much.
White gold is my choice…
Tissot prx 😂
Nah, the PRX has a longer power reserve and seconds hand 😉
Come on guys, lets stay serious.
Only one downgrade: why they make the 222 only 3atm?
Ok so where is the steel one that us peons can afford :)
Buy a Tudor North Flag😊
Or an Oysterquartz yellow gold
Food must have been freezing
Old mans watch
Poor man's comment
Some daze soon, in the near, distant future of you, old is all you will be.
Its that strap, man, its that fucking strap dude. All i can do is wait for a microbrand to "pay homage" to it :p
Still waiting for mine to come in 😍
