The Vacheron Constantin 222 (vintage) designed by Gerald Genta  6 Comments

Published Tuesday, March 31, 2009 by Harry SK Tan |

 


I just discovered a fine review of this watch by Leonardo at the VC forum - The Hour Lounge. Its yet another classic watch - albeit no longer in production - designed by Gerald Genta.
The Vacheron Constantin 222, in all probability is the inspiration for the current Vacheron Overseas collection. While not much of the original design had survived, one can see some strong influences. The watch uses the famed JLC Cal920 as with the AP Royal Oak Jumbo. Unfortunately these watches are now very rare and considered quite a collectors item.
Check out the review by Leonardo - highly recommended reading for history or vintage watch fans.
