"A hardcover book dedicated to a watch becomes more than a page
turner for timepiece connoisseurs. It's a journey back in time with
a storied history that is fascinating - even if the reader has no
interest in legendary, mechanical time tellers."
-Trillionaire Magazine
"[Vacheron Constantin] is so beautifully illustrated.
. . . charismatic photographs really make the extensive book pop in
a visual sense. . . . All in all, this oeuvre is an excellent
investment for anyone interested in history, Vacheron Constantin,
horology, or just beautiful objects. And it is an absolute feast
for the eyes."
-QUILL & PAD MAGAZINE "Saying or thinking that Vacheron
Constantin makes watches is like saying Michelangelo was a ceiling
painter. . . The photographic images are nothing short of
exquisite but one must read and learn what goes on within the
workings of these amazing watches. . . Without question this is
a book that will be appreciated on so many levels because as
anyone who is more than familiar with watches can testify that
Vacheron Constantin is the Ferrari of timepieces."
