Tenia un aire Lemania y ....
have not owned a Vacheron Constantin for some years now. For one reason or another I found other watches more interesting, or desirable, and the handful I did own from the 50's and 70's were sold off long ago to fund other purchases. I drifted away from V&C during the Investcorp (sic) years when the product line stagnated. I did not have any plans to reaquire another VC either as there was so much competition out there.
A few weeks ago there was a thread about the VC chronograph, Ref 47111,and there were some pics and discussion about this watch. The movement is based on the Lemania Caliber 2320, arguably one of the best Swiss made manual wind chronograph movements currently being made. In VC speak it is known as Caliber 1141 with 21 jewels, 18,000 vph, column wheel control, swan-neck fine adjustment, and Breguet overcoil.
The more I thought about it the more I thought this would make a great companion to the Numero Uno chronograph being made today, the Lange Datograph, which I have been fortunate to have in my stable. As far as I know the Lemania 2320 caliber is only used by four makers; Patek Philippe, Breguet, Roger Dubuis and Vacheron Constantin. I could not remember anyone else using this caliber. I do not care for Patek Philippe’s Ref 5070 chrono as I feel the case size just doesn’t fit the movement specs (too big and trendy). For various reasons I did not care for the Breguet interpretation of this movement. This left the Roger Dubuis in the round Hommage case or the Vacheron Constantin. The Dubuis execution is supreme with gorgeous case work, beautiful dials and the famous Dubuis movement finishing. But it is also about $12,000 MORE then the Vacheron Constantin at retail.
