SIHH 2017 - Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Pink Gold
Back in September 2016 we told you about the launch of the revamped Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Chronograph Perpetual Calendar. An update to one of the brand's more iconic models, the new ref. 5000T boasted a re-designed dial and an improved movement.

Opinion - Why the Captain Willard SPB153 is The Coolest Seiko of 2020?
Earlier this year, Seiko brought back one of its legendary designs, a watch that not only marked the brand’s history and became an incredible commercial success in the 1970s, but a watch that gained fame after being worn on Captain Willard's (Martin Sheen) wrist in Apocalypse Now.

In fact, it can be called the oldest watch factory in the World, originating from 1785. Ad - Scroll to continue with article A few other brands in Switzerland might take offense at that statement.
