]]> Comment on Two Exceptional Cushion-Case Chronographs For Women: Patek Philippe Ladies First And Vacheron Constantin Harmony Chronograph Small Model by Doraemon https://quillandpad.com/2015/07/15/two-exceptional-cushion-case-chronographs-for-women-patek-philippe-ladies-first-and-vacheron-constantin-harmony-chronograph-small-model/#comment-840612 Fri, 23 Jun 2023 06:22:25 +0000 http://quillandpad.com/?p=14622#comment-840612 In reply to Peter Maiz.

Au contraire, the VC Harmony trumps Patek’s Ladies First by all accounts.
The VC Harmony’s design has cleverly converged heritage with contemporary elegance. Patek’s version look like something that shat out of a 1960s museum. Utterly.confusing dial, subdials and.sundued diamonds. It is poorly designed and constructed piece and Patek knows that this was a turkey. The VC Harmony is a triumph and has won the hearts of watch purists, elite collectors and even the random peasant. Diamonds don’t need to be sheltered behind a glass and please Patek Phillipe, sort out the ugly dial markers and Art Deco inspired Roman numerals. You are not JLC.

That’s a pretty uninformed statement Ray. If you read the article, Gary explains in detail why he bought it. And as he decided to buy it before the watch was even officially launched, it certainly wasn’t trending anywhere.

He bought because it was trending and therefore it would be worth more than he was paying.Simple .

It’s the most prominent thing on the dial! Horrible design! I don’t care how thin the watch is. Terrible idea to do this.

So much art could be done with that precious real estate!
It’s a odd gimmick for such an accomplishment?

Lange but as you mentioned I am not sure how I could justify the price tag comparing to Glashutte SeaQ Big Date with more than 100 hours reserve and water resistant of 300 m and similar quality movement. Thanks

No I wasn’t aware of that, thanks for letting me know Ray. I’ve done a full security review and it didn’t come up with any issues. I’ll try and learn if this is happening to anyone else.
