Vacheron Constantin is one of the most iconic watch brands of all time. Founded in 1755, they've continuously produced timepieces to the highest degree of quality and rightfully earned their place as a member of the Holy Trinity. - Jak na to + styl
The best part is, years and years from now you'll forget how much money you made on this film, but the memory of making something with your grandfather is forever. Incredible stuff guys.
You mean how much money spent, right?
Has nothing to do with finances. That's because money comes and goes throughout a lifetime, and can be replaced. Those other moments with family and friends however....those you can't get back.
Being closer to Lorenzo’s age I know the sweet comfort of drinking from a mug that has touched the lips of your Greatest Love and transforms a chipped and ordinary thing into a touchstone of a time when laughter shook the kitchen table and all was right with the world. Thank you for this!
this comment hit even harder than the video
That was beautiful, thank you for that.
😊
Wow, guys; seeing the footage of him opening the watch hits you with all the feels. EXPERTLY edited and well done on the restraint with audio and music.
The artistic expressions in these shorts are just incredible and speaks volume, even without a single word spoken.
“Lorenzo is wearing a Theo and Harris “Memento” alligator strap, in rich brown tones that evoke coffee… and memory… It is, bar none, the best strap on the market. Find it at the T&H watch shop.”
What a beautiful video. When he started the video projector, I was not expecting to see footage of him receiving his watch as a gift. I got emotional watching that part. Such an incredible way to capture the journey.
That wasn't actually him. The person who received the watch in that film video looks like one of Christian's friends
@@MrThekikster Oh bummer... I got emotional for no reason then. LOL. It was a beautiful video nonetheless.
I don’t often comment on CZcams videos… but this is one of the best pieces of film I have ever watched. Emotive, poignant and down right beautiful. The fact there was no
Commentary or speech made it even better. One of the best videos you guys have EVER released 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
reminds me of my grandfather- he recently turned 102. There's a lost art to the "older way" of doing things. Double-edged razors. 8mm. Repairing appliances- heck even appliances that can be repaired. Whenever I strap on a mechanical watch, I feel that I'm keeping that older way alive- even for just a little while longer. I'm a bridge between modern and vintage. The way things were versus the way they are. Sure modern is great and probably better, but the feel of a mechanical ANYTHING to me is superior to a cold and heartless modern thing. I use double-edged razors, drive a manual transmission, play a musical instrument, can repair things, and wear a mechanical timepiece, both new and vintage. It's relatable to my grandfather and a way to keep the better things alive for years to come.
DE razors are amazing. Cost effective and incredibly close shaves
This is one of the most emotional videos you’ve ever done, and without a word spoken. Great job!
The moment I realized that he is the young man that got the watch in the film and then his eyes swells without dropping off a tear made me stop breathing in a moment... A lot must have gone through his mind, the joy and sorrow of living encapsulated in that moment. Brilliant!
Not only was this shot beautifully but GOOD LORD the audio mixing on this is top notch. Awesome work!
I never thought watches were special until 6 months ago when my father-in-law gifted me one of his watches. A few days later I started spending hours on end watching CZcams videos, exploring watches, trying to figure out my taste, compiling lists of watches I wish to own one day and admiring the beauty and history of some watches and watch makers. Today, I understand why someone would buy a watch to commemorate the birth of a child and I believe those who say every watch has a story and a soul because I too have become one of you.
I really enjoyed this video along with “I Wish I’d Bought My Grandfather a Cartier.” Keep up the great work!
Stunning guys! Age isn't diminishing, it's accumulation of stories like scratches on a bezel.
Talking about stories that pull your heart strings… this video is so familiar yet so unique. It truly evoques why watches are so special. You guys have done an amazing job yet again. Thank you for sharing.
Just wow. This clip evoked many emotions. Made me think of my grandparents, my parents, and my own mortality. It was sad and beautiful at the same time. Thank you and wishing you the best and all the success, you deserve it.
Bravo T&H🙏🏼 The rhythm of our Grandfathers time and place, surrounded by familiar smells & sounds, dappled light and memory…
A tear in my eye remembering my Grandfather and Father, and the Life watches they have honoured me to be-hold for my Son, and generations to come.
That is the kind of storytelling that elevates marketing for a brand from a commercial to a piece of art, of expression, that I *want* to watch. Something that makes me admire the brand and its values first, with their products only being the result or the sideeffect of them…awesome
Incredible production guys! Christian is very fortunate to have this man in his life! ❤️
I really love these short films.This is the most evocative and best one yet IMO.It captures the whole essence of what owning a VC. is about.It is about so much more than just the watch itself.
Beautiful video. As the lines on his face show the accumulation of time and experience, the smaller lines on the watch face show the passing of every minute and hour bringing together the life he has lived.
The man is amazingly portrayed by T&H, I get chills while watching this kind of videos and at the same time I wander if one day I’ll be able to stair at my favourite watch’s dial and feel this way…thinking at the unique bound between a me and my watch
So much was said without words. Emotional, artistic and elegant are the first three words that came to mind after I watched this video. VC is a brand that deserves much more recognition. its videos like this that will give VC the recognition they deserve.
Very good video, brought tears to my eyes. Reminded me of my grandfather when I lived in Sestri Levante Italy many years ago. He had a similar watch and almost the same routine in the morning. Very touching, he was a watch lover. And a great Italian man of wisdom and kindness.
It is my belief that this is your most impactful piece yet. I could cry. Likely because this is how I imagine beloved memories well cared for and a life well lived
Very well done gentleman. I love how the subject that was primarily focused on, was the man. It is a refreshing change from the million of watch videos that focus on macro shots and specs. Focusing on the man evoked way more emotion. It was also a nice touch to omit the narration. When the man was watching his film and relived the memory of being gifted the watch, it almost brought me to tears. In that moment I was filled with compassion, empathy, and jealousy. Great videos evoke emotion, and this one certainly did. Magnificent job!
No kidding; contrast the above with this ad, for a watch that costs 1/10 as much.

Dude…incredible. It’s been fun watching you and the company grow and mature throughout these last few years.
Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you…and us. Thank you.
loved this...sometimes the softest sounds speak the loudest truths. no words needed... great way to position Vacheron in a way that stands out from the noise of others.
Zero words. 100% message delivered.

Great to see that you are doing so well with these stories.
Well thought-out cinematography.
Chapeau.
Cheers from Germany
A really brilliant short; the editing spoke where words were not needed.
That was really touching and the true essence of having a really great watch.
WOW, this touched me, never saw it coming when the footage of him receiving the watch showed up. As a father, I want my kids to inherit my collection but I don't have any videos of buying them or receiving them. Great job guys, you killed it with this video.
So so good... more moments like this that remind us to breath and feel what is important.
I wish I would have the luxury of time to prepare my own coffee. The alligator strap of the Vacheron Constantin is
really amazing, I wish someday I will be able to buy that kind of strap for my $200 Seiko 5. Thanks, I enjoyed the video.
I love this short film. Wonderfully made and feels immersive. You guys are doing wondeful art!
This video was great! Love that Poppy is back! I would love to see you guys do a video with him just talking...I'm sure he has a lot of stories to tell. VC is probably my favorite watchmaker from the so-called Holy Trinity, and that timepiece your grandfather is wearing is stunning!
What a beautiful story and exression of it. Kudos to VC for embracing history and authentic focus on a vintage piece.
Great work/video. It's about the people behind the watches, not the dollars they paid.
You can't buy great memories, please keep making this type of original videos.
As an owner of a VC, one feels the history, the quality, the one of not many, and the responsibility to pass it on to the next generation.
This is what people are looking for, authentic storytelling, thoughtfully, and beautifully created.
I think you’ve stopped making watch advertisements and started capturing the human emotion. Something about what you are doing speaks to the consumer in such a different way. You said so much in this video, without saying anything at all. Well done!
During Christmas, I pulled out the trusty Brownie projector and a box full of super 8 treasures my 92 year old mom’s closet. We shared and relived memories from the 60’s as the Brownie rattled away while we sat in the dim light.
I think I got some grit in my eye when watching this! warm and touching.
I love these shorts. You guys are killing it. Keep it up.
Jesus Christ I am so impressed with you guys. Incredible job! You guys helped me get into watches in 2017. Since then, I stopped watching the channel until a few months ago, and every segment/sponsorship video has been truly fantastic and entertaining. Keep up the amazing work!
What a beautiful presentation of timeless charakter and true soul of watchmaking: Good watch really keeps time literally and metaphorically with our memeories and milestones.
The tastefulness of your guys' films is rare on CZcams. Keep it up.
Fantastic, love this video, honest and Kosher, so warm and delicate, bravo 👏 a great job, lovely little film, Vacheron Constantin will love this tribute to their brand.
Just so wonderful...thanks...enjoyed it immensely....brought a tear to my eye
Christian and team, I have been studying and admiring your work for a long time and I was blown away by this video! You nailed it. Well done and I wish you continued success.
Well done. The composition is superb! What a great cinematic story. Lately I am thinking Vacheron is my next watch. Rich history for sure.
That was lovely. That short film says everything about why I love wristwatches.
Wonderful film making. Flawless. Precise. Much like Vacheron Constantin.
Sublime work
Beautifully shot. Thanks for making me cry and want to buy a watch at the same time.
How do I know this isn't someone pretending to be @theoandharris.
These videos are just AMAZING!! The production and editing are out of this world! Well done!!
Fantastic and legendary. This video conveys so much and so much more than words can say.
Another amazing short... You guys are doing a cracking job with these shorts. I Want a VC but don't currently have one.
So moving and well done. Beautiful work, boys.
Exquisit, full of sentiment, and having the Vacheron as a life companion is amazing, Exquisito, Bravo, your shorts are moving...
I’m speechless……and teary eyed. Simply beautiful.
A beautiful film. Maybe the best watch ad I've ever seen.
An absolutely beautiful and moving short film!
VC remains the underdog of the top tier of watches. Their CdV, and in particular the grey Hodinkee version, is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen. Great video. Keep up the good work.
Somehow I missed this...really a beautiful story. About the watch of course, but also of his inspiration for film and how he passed it down. The "machine" is his legacy as much as the watch and movie making is. I do believe you would have happily done this for free.
How do you tell an entire life's story in the space of 6 minutes? One that tears at your heart because you've lived this story. An entire life in 6 mins! Well done and I hate you for dredging up nostalgia I try very hard at keeping buried!
Well done kiddo!
JM&Joseph that was off charts. Fantastic. I was good until he sees the party and the old ways. So many magic touches. Him blessing himself was best.
Watches are literally time capsules. With all my watches, I remember the moment when I spoted it, how and why I fell in love and purchase the piece.
I know that a watch is nothing more than a mechanical mechanism to tell time and it is we as humans that imprint on them. But when such a simple tool is given with love by those that you love it becomes a cherished companion that has the ability to be with you for the rest of your life. And one day this can be the story that succeeds you and is the thing your kids and grandkids will look at as those that knew you and your companion best tell stories of happy and sad times. Times of dad or uncle letting you barrow it for a big date or job interview or times when times were very rough, and money was tight for the family, and he had to pawn it.
In so many ways this reminds me that Japanese son gifting Brawn electric shaver to his father commercial a few years ago.
Great video T&H
I don't care about any "Holy Trinity of Watches" nonsense, all I care about is design, quality, heritage, and a deeper connection between the item and the wearer. Vacheron Constantin has all of those things so I certainly consider myself a fan.
Beautiful. your'e best work yet. no words and as a viewer I was totally pulled in and feeling a whole range of emotions.
Beautiful beautiful video guys. Absolutely touched my heart!
Beautiful film! Very nice, simple theme yet beautifully conveyed. Lovely cinematography as well 👍👍
This was simply beautiful, thank you guys 🙏🏻
Amazing storytelling, truly captures the timeless and essence of its for a lifetime and beyond.
This was really incredible fellas. Subtle romance captured simply. Much like making an incredible meal using few, high quality ingredients. Keep it up!
So many emotions I can’t express them with words. Thank you!
Beautiful film. Beautiful watch. Family is everything. Love this channel.
Well done, guys! A very touching film with classic details in such a sutil atmosphere. It really represents what the channel is all about. 👏👏
Amazing video. Glad I ran into this. Emotional af. All in the feels
Beautiful short film.
This video does wonders in making Vacheron a more relatable brand. Great job, guys 👍👍👍
A work of art
no dialogue & still more moving than anything i've seen in a long time. cheers, guys.
Absolutely amazing work! A job VERY well done, gentlemen. Very well done.
That‘s why we are so into Watches. Because of the Memories and the beauty of a mechanic Watch, that will last for ever.
Quartz watches could also last forever
This is next level guys. Absolutely stunning.
Beautiful, brought a tear to my eye
That was an amazing little film. Au Chapeau gentlemen!
Wow. Just wow. Floored by this film. Bravo.
Wonderful and masterful, great job!
Very nice video.
Shows the Beauty in owning one watch for a lifetime- the prince
Amazing video, this brought me such nice memories. Thanks for that !
Very art house team, and I loved every second of it!
What a beautiful film boys. It tugs all the strings in the right way.
Wow, that was powerful. Amazing content, well done guys.
Beautifully done
This video is a masterpiece! So is the watch he is wearing… thanks for filming this!
Beautiful...What a classic VC. Although, I don't have a watch like that, I have one of those Bell & Howell 8mm cameras that was my fathers.
Thats is aamazing content ! the story telling is just unbelievable
Absolutely great video
Nicely done! I'm curious about Vacheron's brief on this piece, and how they see it in the context of their overall branding strategy.
This story is a perfect exemple of what we love, respect !
What a peaceful video. Love it
