Big fan of the VC 56, seen it in real life and its stunning for the money. I like the fact that people don't like it. But then alot discarded the VC overseas when it came out and look at it now. Very underrated brand from the holy trinity.

That VC is something else, I look forward to the indepth video of that one

Adrian, your production quality has become something on a different level and you’re channel is my first choice for horology content. Cheers

I appreciate you getting into the behind-the-scenes aspects of the MP interview, as well as going off the beaten path and highlighting some interesting watches that don’t get a ton of attention!

I love that VC stunning! Recently saw the Roger Dubuis in Harrods too, obviously not to buy. Great videos, nothing better than on a Sunday afternoon 👍

I believe the only V.C. 4600e that is not “in-house” is the time/date only version. At least that’s what they told me at the boutique when I was fortunate enough to purchase my very own 56 on the steel bracelet! I absolutely love it. Thanks for all the great content and keep up the good work!

I find your content highly addictive and extremely helpful. I recently purchased my first "luxury" watch in the form of an IWC Pilot Spitfire 39mm. I even found the courage to buy the bronze edition which I lusted after the most because of the olive green dial and rhodium plated hands :) Keep up the brilliant work!

Love the VC and the RD! IWC is such a cool brand but for me what you’re getting is not enough to justify those prices. IWC should be more at home at the 4-8k range than the 8-15k that they seem to be

The fact that the dial numerals and the date wheel have the same font in the VC is just so, wholesome.

For the RD Excalibur, actually those hands are set at the movement side. So you can see the rotor and balance assembly with hands.

Hi Adrian, The issue with the base 56 is not the Cartier heritage it's simply no where near as well finished as other VCs. The Geneva stripes don't roll in the light for example, nor is the anglage luminescent. It's not Geneva Seal, which is also not just a finishing requirement, but one of timing. VC were so embarrassed they redid the movement shots for the website to cover up the unused sub seconds jewel and recess; which once seen cannot be unseen.

VC is a lovely watch movement finished beautifully !

Thanks so much for doing this Adrian! Funny enough I've spent the last 3 months going between all three of these as the capstone to my personal collection. Still surreal to see all three of these in one video 😏

I really enjoy your videos. Something very relaxing, motivating, informative and enjoyable all at the same time.

All the watches on this vid are super nice. I really like Cartier manual wind watch. I have a vintage Rolex oyster that is hand wound, and it's fun to wind and easier to maintain than the automatic.

I love the VC Fifty-six and look forward to your deep dive,

Awesome as usual. I like it when you do watch reviews outside of our fanboy comfort zone of Rolex, Omega & Tudor.

That VC is truly stunning!!

Dont mistake the VC fiftysix movement as a Cartier movement! It is a Valfleurier movement which was placed in a Cartier and in a Piaget watch. The launch of the movement was in a Cartier watch as the MC1904

VC is perfection, especially on strap.

Great Sunday video and that VC is lovely.

Great video. Just a clarification on the Fiftysix though - whilst the Self-Winding has a movement shared with Cartier, the Day Date and Complete Calendar versions are in-house Geneva Seal movements and they are used in other VC models in other model ranges so no corners cut there at all. I have the silver dialled Complete Calendar and I find the dial to be more nuanced than the blue version - lovely though that already is.

A micro rotor on the front of the dial on the RD is brilliant!

love your enthusiasm.

Mr. Porter somehow got VC to do the day/date version of the Fifty-Six in a limited edition blue dial. That watch was stunning, and has a Geneva movement.

This was a really fun video - Thank you Adrian 😊👍

This VC is just amazing, a detailed review about this beauty would be great

A reasonably interesting Roger Dubuis ! Wasn’t expecting that. Well done Adrian.

Damn good and beautiful video. Mr. Adrian, your level is up there. Thanks for these entertaining and informative watch videos.

dude, im hooked to your videos. so pleasant to watch and listen

Hi Adrian, are you planning to do a longer video on the explorer2 ? Thanks

Totally agree about the Vacheron Fiftysix: beautiful watch, and a Jaeger-based movement isn't exactly downmarket, is it?

Finally, some tea content! 👍🏼

Another excellent video Adrian. I'm not surprised you opted for Tea, Premier Inn coffee sachet - yuk!

Yes please. I love my FiftySix Selfwinding. I have the silver dial and bought the bracelet in the boutique. Mostly wear it on a brown Vacheron leather strap but the bracelet is insanely good and comfortable and has tool less micro adjust. Also only the FifttSix Selfwinding has the Cartier based movement. All the other versions have VC movements. But I am with you. The Selfwinding movement is amazing and so wel finished. Plus the solid gold rotor make it very very elegant.

The VC looks awesome on your wrist, bracelet and all. You should get it.

Please do a video of the Glasshute Original 70s Chrono on the steel bracelet, would love to know what you think about this watch!! The IWC is lovely but SO BIG!!

The VC but on a blue alligator strap is ace! Got my eye on one for next year.

Did you ever you your seperate video on the VC 56?

That Cartier is stunning! Wow!

Just got me a fifty six today. Although waiting for delivery, new watch day is always sweet. 🍸

Adrian, thank you for another enjoyable video.

The bracelet on the 56 is nuts :)

The Cartier looks stunning for 5k. IWCs are great everyday watches.

The Cartier is THE killer. My favorite. Thanks for the video!

…I can tell you love the lug length on that IWC, as it’s stated in ‘mmmm!’ Great vid as always. 😁👍

Anyone know if you can just walk into an AD and buy one of these?

Ah, he does drink the civilised beverage! 😜 I’m with you on the RD, not my thing normally but what a bit of kit. I’m really warming to the Santos too

When is the video with Mr. Porter is coming out?

Have been in love with the Santos line for a while!! FYI The link is going to the tank model

That VC and Santos are fire!

If you like the IWC blue angels then I bet your mind would blown up once you see Citizen's blue angel models

Greetings from Dubai Thank you for another beautiful video. I wish people stop talking VC 56 not having a in house movement. There are 4 different models under 56 and only one has a Cartier movement. The other 3 are in-house with Geneva seal on them. The date only 56 is a poor example to represent the 56 range

Thought that Mr. Porter video was awesome!! great chemistry.

I love the VC fiftysix... It is a fantastic watch.

Thanks for the video, Adrian. Although I have a rather negative opinion on some of the pieces, I'll just keep it to myself and let others enjoy. Take care and have a nice one.

VC 56 moon phase is on my wish list

That dumont is nice and classy. Wow

Where is the video you refer to? I feel stupid not finding it

Tea. At last.

that 56 is actually quite nice.

If you like the Blue Angels watch featured in this video, you may also want to check out the Citizen eco-drive Blue Angels, reference JY8078-52L, 46MM, for around $500 USD. My son is a pilot, and it is a true functional tool watch.

My pick would be the IWC awesome watch.

Can you do a review of the Cartier Santos Please?

Looks like a Hotel room at Greek (Island Kos) Blue Lagoon Village, Kefalos. Greets, Oliver

evil bark and jack: drinking tea and talking clocks

Could you review the RGM brand located in Pennsylvania? I am looking to purchase a milestone watch, I already own a Rolex and was thinking about purchasing a new Seamaster or another Rolex, but RGM seems cool, exclusive and American made. What do you think of this brand and their watches?

Solid gold rotor 😮

“Tea”! 😱

The Cartier for me out of that lot please, it’s just beautiful. 👌

Great vlog great watches enjoy

Are watches like the VC 56 actually available to purchase? Or is it like Rolex where you have to have an in with the dealer?

more tea content!

that Cartier is amazing

The Cartier Santos DuPont is pure elegance. Damn you Adrian!!!😂

I like the design of the fiftysix very much as well.

Why does an ad have to start with an ad I don't understand youtube.

I remember watching the Mr Porter video and it did feel like something was a bit off. Like a tad of a uptight sales pitch. Interesting once the ‘formal’ interview was over it was much more interesting.

Great video brother 👏

Im a tea guy personally. cheers

The V C - is handsome. I like the bracelet. thank you A . be safe. ~ JDS/CT

That Roger Dubuis is an impressive Boderry homage 😂😂😂😂.

Is the Fiftysix using the same color blue dial as the overseas blue?

I'm *still* dreaming of JLCs and Langes... 😅👍🏽✊🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🇮🇩

I have my cup of kukicha with a bit of miso and I have already clicked the like button. Now I can enjoy the video.

Drinking a tea & wearing a Cartier while watching this

I love the VC56. Definitely on my radar

The bracelet on the VC does match the style of the watch, and it is a phenomenal looking timepiece. Looking forward to your review of the Pelagos FXD, can we expect that soon?

If I were looking at a Rolex (with their inflated prices) or a Cartier, I'd be all over this Vacheron Constantin. Simply a beautiful, classic watch!

Just bought the VC Fiftysix with steel bracelet this week - awesome watch!

El Primero mechanism was used in Rolex watches .... and nobody complained.

A full video on this fifty six please

that fiftysix really suits you man!

Please never stop doing what are you doing adrien! I Count on U! Best wishes from munich

evil bark and jack be like I drink tea and talk about wall mounted clocks

If that VC 56 has 100m of water resistance, then yes I’d agree it’s a superb entry level, everyday watch for vacheron.

You even get great light into a hotel room

Looks like a Sofitel hotel yes?

Magari facessero uscire una versione da 37 / 38mm, sarebbe meraviglioso.
