In-Depth: Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle Lady

Beautiful

Oscar Wilde once wrote; “no object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly”. However, the Irishman clearly never saw this latest creation from Vacheron Constantin.

I could never envisage any condition where the graceful form of the Patrimony Traditionnelle Lady manual-winding could ever look anything other than beauteous. The Genevan brand made a bold statement to the assembled journalists at SIHH 2013. With only a couple of exceptions, all the novelties were aimed at female purchasers. Models were presented in both round and tonneau shaped cases, with mechanical and quartz movements and in some instances with lustrous enamelled dials.

Linde Werdelin is proud to announce the launch of its first women's watch to be added to its existing array of watches. The White Watch, based on the popular 3-Timer model has been given a softer and more elegant touch while a new strap has been fitted to accommodate smaller feminine wrists.

The 3-Timer's refined design constitutes the perfect model on which to base LW's first women's watch. Starting from the delicate pattern of the dial to the slender, sleek hands and discreet indexes, bearing the minimum luminous material possible and combined with the white colour details, The White Watch is designed to easily complement a lady's wardrobe. "Women today tend to prefer and wear bigger sized watches and I am very pleased that our designs although male marketed are appealing to women as well. Maintaining the brand's DNA is very important for LW and The White Watch is no exception" says Morten Linde.

In addition to the Admiral's Cup collection that is already celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2010, the Admiral's Cup Black Chronograph 40 already has the makings of greatness. Loyal to the aesthetic design that has forged the collection's admirable reputation, it proudly bears the identity codes of its siblings: a 12- sided case and nautical pennant hour-markers. Featuring a 40 mm diameter, well suited to ladies' wrists, the newcomer clearly tops the bill right from its first appearance. It is equipped with a chronograph that asserts its sporting nature, while clothed in intense black and diamonds that proclaim its feminine spirit.

Having earned international recognition as Corum's sports watch collection, the Admiral's Cup has been pay- ing tribute to the world of sailing for half a century. The bold aesthetics of its 12-sided case have made it an iconic model that is one of the four brand pillars alongside the Corum Bridges, Romvlvs and Artisans lines.

Celebrities are known for wearing Rolex watches, but this is the first one that I have spotted wearing a black Rolex. Jennifer Aniston is wearing a black Rolex Milgauss. It is either a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) or PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) version. You can actually buy either one, here, for $7,990 to $9,500.
