Which brand is considered the crown jewel of Richemont? Vacheron or Lange?

Vacheron has the history and the high horology cred, but I’ll take a Lange over a VC every time.

Second this, love both though.

Swiss vs German. Unbroken legacy vs Re-formed in the 90’s. Overseas vs Odysseus. Traditionnelle vs Traditional. Complications out the wazoo vs Complications out the wazoo.

I think the proverbial crown in your question deserves two jewels, as theres room and justification for both.

For some reason I just don’t respect VC. Their core range (eg Overseas) seems to basically be ‘Rolex but more expensive’ in the sense that they are not actually complex watches but everyone will know you spent like $30k on a watch.

Lange seem to have much more fun making original designs.

We're on the same page on the RM bit lol. Not in the part about the work and effort put in the movements being a couple hundred, it is more then that and I at least appreciate the artisanship and care that goes into them. Rolexes are fully industrially made so some price difference (not saying you're not also paying for the brand...) is because of that.

That said I also agree with you any three-hander from VC, Lange, AP, Patek... is overpriced, hell at least give me a complication for 30k+ USD

Thoughts on the final debate?

🔥How you asked company-1 to beat the offer of company-2 offer ? Have you succeed? If not got same offer like company-2 from company-1 ?

Note - company-1 release 1st offer & company-2 released 2nd offer
I am expecting company-1 should Beat offer not to match the offer.

Your input please

Finally got my hands on one. I was expecting it to feel much cheaper than it does. Definitely still get the quality feel that Swatch is known for. The weight is nothing like a real speedy, but still looks great imo. I went with the Mission to Pluto as I didn’t want one that looks too much like the real thing, and the Mars/Sun versions had the gauche white strap imo. Overall pleased for $260.

My husband said he would buy me a Rolex as a “push present” for our first child. I would want just a classic, timeless (no pun intended) looking ladies Rolex watch that I can wear for many years to come. Suggestions on a style? I really don’t know anything about them and would like to get some opinions on what people like since there are so many options.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?
