Watch [home]
[home] watch brand culture This matter should not be delayed. straight into the topic. This is a look forward to the heavyweight contrast, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, watches and clocks industry top two positive dialogue between the top table factory". Conventional models of Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin presumably you already know by heart. So, this time I will Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin regular round table outside the model together. Including antique models and modern models, a comprehensive comparison. In this process, I was surprised to find that Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin is indeed the watch industry veteran of two major brands, since ancient times, almost all shell style watches, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin have done, and all kinds of watches both on standard models, as long as the other party launched a new watch, another must make similar watches back, is really wonderful. Say no more, we directly start (in contrast I don't comment, please comment).
We start from the barrel type.
Vacheron Constantin than Patek Philippe first began to use the barrel shaped watchcase. In early 1912, Vacheron Constantin launched the first barrel shaped watch, with a view, Vacheron Constantin is the first to use the barrel shaped watchcase watch factory. Shortly after launch of the barrel shaped watch, barrel shaped watch has become Vacheron Constantin's iconic models, have very high recognition. At the same time, Patek Philippe also launched a tonneau not resigned to playing second fiddle, a watch. We know that in fact Patek Philippe launched a number of two pin manual winding barrel shell models, including three questions. Patek Philippe is now the most familiar, is barrel shaped Gondolo. This watch is named after the retailer in the history of Patek Philippe. On the other hand, today Vacheron Constantin watches become a barrel shaped Malta series. It is clear that Patek Philippe's Gondolo and Vacheron Constantin Malta showed a different shape, different styles.

Then the pillow shape.
As the saying goes, Great minds think alike. Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin are very similar in making watches. Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin in the pillow shaped case, use a lot of complex movement. Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe have pillow shaped case play the most incisive. Patek Philippe launched the timing on the shell shape, three questions, Vacheron Constantin launched a dial tilt of the 1921 and the latest Harmony series. In 1928, Vacheron Constantin launched a single button on the pillow pulse meter, the corresponding, Patek Philippe in 1928 also launched a pillow pad single button chronograph. The Vacheron Constantin 1921 can be said to be the world's most unique watch pillow shaped watch, because the entire dial is tilted. Vacheron Constantin 1921 launched from 1919, it is worth noting that the different periods of the 1921 watch dial tilt direction is not the same. Some left to the right. Similarly, this hand is also present in the modern model of the modern model, the dial is right. In the first two years, Vacheron Constantin launched a new pillow shaped flagship series, Harmony. Among them, the Harmony time table is the strongest, including a needle chasing time table and a conventional chronograph. The modern pillow shaped watch Patek Philippe includes 5940 calendar and rattrapante time 5950, and Vacheron Constantin can be described as tit for tat.

Here is a rectangle
Compared to other special case watch, watch the world square more, and the birth of many classic models, such as Cartire, PERREGAUX and other 1945 tanks. Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin's table is not only more models, but also the two major table factory to build their own symbolic table. One of the most famous Patek Philippe 5101 tourbillon. 5101 is a square of the 10 day manual tourbillon. Patek Philippe Tourbillon watch Tourbillon is always put in the case back, from the front is invisible, very low-key. Patek Philippe's explanation is that the use of Tourbillon lubricating oil by the sun is easy to shorten the life expectancy, so put the tourbillon behind. Another famous square Patek Philippe is the 5100 "devil fish"". 5100 for the case on both sides of the "wings" of the name "devil fish". In contrast to the devil fish, Vacheron Constantin also has a square with wings. This watch is the official name of Aronde is 1954, then the only Vacheron Constantin square is also known as the "swallow", we can see that the same is the case of "wings", but Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe's approach is different.

Asymmetrical shape
Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin as the two largest traditional Swiss watchmaking brand, has long been a more traditional, the introduction of watches are usually compared to Zhou Zheng. However, in the history of the two traditional meter factory there are many "fantastic" unconventional move. Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, for example, have made asymmetric watches. In the last century in 50s, no one was Patek Philippe designer Gilbert Albert designed the one with no predecessors after Patek Philippe watches, 3424. This watch was influenced by the modern art style of the time, absolutely not take the unusual way, the whole watch is oblique, completely asymmetric, is the most peculiar Patek Philippe. In contrast, Vacheron Constantin also played a bit of their imagination, but apparently not as exaggerated as Patek Philippe. Vacheron Constantin 1972 is a representative model of Vacheron Constantin, is also very famous today. 1972 this watch is a trapezoid watch, although it is not symmetrical, it looks very harmonious. In addition, Vacheron Constantin this watch was named 1972, because in 1972, Vacheron Constantin became the first access to Prestige de la France watch brand.

Two popular sports table
Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin Nautilus thief is a popular sport two meter factory table. The Nautilus is Patek Philippe watch industry designer Arcangelo Zunda works. In 1972 Arcangelo Zunda design Audemars Pigeut Royal Oak, he has designed Patek Philippe Nautilus and universal engineer. In history, the Nautilus is Patek Philippe's watch break the normal procedure. Some people even called the Patek Philippe Nautilus "illegitimate child". But anyway, the Nautilus's success is all obvious to people. Vacheron Constantin Hyundai is actually the history of the evolution of the 222 watches Vacheron Constantin watches. Early 222 Vacheron Constantin watches Arcangelo has been considered a Zunda design, but later clarified, the Vacheron Constantin 222 is by hysek (Jorg Hysek) design. Because the Vacheron Constantin 222 and Nautilus, the Royal Oak was born in the same era, so there are a lot of similarities between them. In 1996, the thief came out in 222 out of. Now, the modern model Patek Philippe three pin Nautilus is 5711, a new generation of Vacheron Constantin thief last year completed updating. The new round of the world's largest appearance recognition feature is 3 points and 9 points of the sawtooth, each side is one, and the old side of each side is the two, you can use this distinction.

Two extra special watches
Vacheron Constantin has also launched a shutter watch in history. A shutter watches on the disk, can be opened and closed the shutters through the knob to select 6 points in the following case. My impression of Zhongjiang has launched the shutters Vacheron Constantin watches modern version. Vacheron Constantin watches shutter was designed by Verger Fr res. Verger Fr res is a jeweler and watchmaker, he is an important person in the history of Vacheron Constantin. Even his design is still affecting Vacheron Constantin today. Another Patek Philippe watch is Ellipse. Ellipse is another iconic Patek Philippe watch, launched in 1968 for the first time. Ellipse is like a circle like square oval watchcase, watchcase is very harmonious. I know Ellipse because of the particular shape, there are some special color disk plus (such as chocolate) so welcome by some collectors.
