 VACHERON & CONSTANTINGENEVESwitzerlandUNIQUE AND RARE EXAMPLE OF TIMEPIECE
VERY BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE WATCH 1905
VERY BEAUTIFUL MECHANICAL WORK  One could argue that the word “RARE” gets tossedaround a bit too easily on eBay but I think this is one case where the monikeris well deserved. If you have been collecting watches for a while I thinkyou’re going to appreciate the following timepiece. Here is a truly pristine men’s timepiece by “VACHERON& CONSTANTIN” that dates to 1905. It is a NOBLEDESIGN WATCH thatfeatures a STEEL DIAL, TITANIUM CASE and HIGH GRADE original pocket watch mechanism with BLUESTEEL SCREWS, WINDING WHEELS WITH WOLF TEETH TRANSMISSION, BI-METALLIC MICROMETERREGULATOR & BLUEBREGUET BALANCE SPRING.  The historyof Vacheron Constantin The Once andFuture King One of the greatest names in Swiss watchmaking, Vacheron & Constantin is the archetype of the Prestige Swiss Watch Company.Vacheron & Constantin, along with Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, makeup the classic Trinity of 20th century Swiss watch brands. With a customer listin their Golden Book that reads like a veritable World Who's Who of the pasttwo and a half centuries, Vacheron and Constantin's pedigree and recognizedbrand cachet is without question. That they have maintained their position atthe apex of the watchmaking firmament throughout their existence, across theyears and spanning the generations, makes their reputation all the moreimpressive.  To understand the glory that is Vacheron &Constantin, knowledge of their history and past achievements is necessary.Since their earliest days, the Vacheron name has been synonymous with finewatchmaking. The name has been well regarded by the cognoscenti and theindustry insiders, always spoken with a degree of reverence and respect. Set amidst the backdrop of the European Age ofEnlightenment, Revolution, and the chaos of social and political upheaval, Vacheron & Constantin's story parallels that of the history of the modernWestern World. It is an interesting and worthy history indeed.Watchmaker's Workshop in18th Century GenevaChristophe De Ziegler, Geneva Kunsthistorisches Museum Vacheron and Constantin's origins can behonestly traced back to 1755, when the 24 year old Jean-Marc Vacheron joinedthe ranks of the Cabinotier of Geneva.Cultured, well read, and a respected member of the intelligentsia of the time, young Jean-Marc quickly established a reputation for producing timepieces ofthe highest grade. Vacheron's reputation extended to the Royal Courts ofEurope, where their creations impressed even the Court Timekeeper and RoyalWatchmakers.One of the great seeming contradictions of HauteHorlogerie is the worship of hand craftsmanship, the mystique of the humantouch, in an endeavour that is often better served by mechanized production. Inan ironic way, this same paradox partially accounts for the renaissance of themechanical watch in the last two decades of the 20th century. In an age ofvirtual reality and digital paradigms, the sensual image of human handspolishing and adjusting a complicated movement, hearing the soft tic-tic-tic ofthe escapement, precise and reliable beyond all other complex mechanicalsystems, is somehow soothing and lends some degree of comfort to humans thatare, after all, inherently part of the analog, physical world. Chronologyof The House of Vacheron Constantin 1755 Foundation by Jean-Marc Vacheron.1819 François Constantin joins the company.1839 Hired as a production engineer, Georges-Auguste Leschot revolutionised watchmaking techniques by inventing thepantograph.1880 Appearance of the “Maltese Cross” in theVacheron Constantin logotype, based on a movement part fixed to the barrel andwhich made it possible to limit the degree of winding required for the latter.1906 Inauguration of the very first VacheronConstantin boutique, which is still located today on Quai de l’Ile in Geneva.1935 Creation of one of the most complexpocket-watches ever made by Vacheron Constantin. Ordered by King Farouk of Egypt, thismasterpiece took five years to create.1955 200th anniversary and launch of thePatrimony, the world’s thinnest mechanical watch.1979 Carved directly from a one-kilo solid goldingot, the Kallista is set with 118 diamonds totalling 130 carats - five yearsof patient work. At the time, this was the most expensive watch ever sold.1996 Vacheron Constantin joins the RichemontGroup.2004 Opening of the new head office and theVacheron Constantin Manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva and renovation of the brand’s historichead office: “La Maison Vacheron Constantin”, including an exclusive Boutique, a heritage center and the “Métiers d’Art” workshops.2005 250th anniversary of the brand. 2005 Creation of the Tour de l’Ile, the world’smost complicated watch with double-faced display featuring an unprecedentedcombination of 16 horological complications and astronomical indications, andthe Saint Gervais, a watch combining for the very first time a perpetualcalendar, a tourbillon and over ten days’ power reserve.2006 Vacheron Constantin pays tribute to the mostnoble, rare and precious of metals with the Vacheron Constantin CollectionExcellence PlatineThehandsome STEEL dial is in excellent condition, professionallyrestored to its original status and perfectly done, absolutely no chips ofabuse.It is complete a crisp 60 minute outer track border, elegant blackenamel Stick hour markers, originalblue steel Pencil-style hands and a recessedsub-seconds dial with 60 second outer chapter and “sweep” original blue steel secondshand. Signed VACHERON & CONSTANTIN – GENEVE in black enamel letters below the hourmarker the 12.  It is a registered design model that features a threepiece matte TITANIUMcase that provides with glass cover of backlid. This watch was converted from pocket watch. The case, new custom made, fantastic, build specially for this wonderful Vacheron & Constantin movement. The lugs are in great conditionwhile the winding crown is in very good shape and operates properly. The case has MINERAL glasses on the front and back side.    Peekinginside via the glass lid I find a spotless and high grade, manual wind nickel platedlever escapement movement with BLUE STEEL SCREWS, WINDING WHEELS WITH WOLF TEETH TRANSMISSION, BI-METALLICMICROMETER REGULATOR & BLUEBREGUET BALANCE SPRING. Themovement is signed VACHERON & CONSTANTIN – GENEVE – MADEIN SWITZERLAND with the movementserial number #2S90.784. Thisserial number dates this watch to 1905 as per published production numbers. This beautifulwristwatch has the ORIGINAL VACHERON & CONSTANTIN movement in an excellent status which was very wellsaved, considering age of this watch. Mechanism has been recently serviced toensure it winds and sets smoothly while keeping great, accurate time.Thisis a “NAIL SET” watch so you don’t pull the crown out to setthe time.Instead, you press the little button near the crown IN and then move the crownto set the hands, releasing the button once you’re finished. It’s easy, sodon’t worry about getting the hang of it! It is fitted on a new Handmade of THE WANDOLEC ART STUDIO 22mm browngenuine leather strap with Stainless steel buckle that is vintage style andgoes great with this wonderful watch. Diameter (with crown):        45.00mmDiameter (without crown):   41.00 mmWatch crystal diameter:      37.00 mmThickness:                         12.00 mm

I always have beautiful pristine timepieces for sale ending Monday. Now on eBay for 10 Years! Recommendations for the owner of vintage watches: - All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
 - Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
 - Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
 - If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
 - If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
 - Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
 - When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
 - If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
 - Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
 - Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
 - If the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
 - To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
 - Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
 - Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
 - Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.
 PAYMENT Payment is due within three days of auction end unless you have contacted me prior to auction end to arrange otherwise.
