Kunal is a passionate collector of Vacheron Constantin, and we present his selection of the three essential watches from VC The concept of Vertical and Horizontal Collection are used in Wine as a tasting methodology Here, we present our pick of three essential watches from Vacheron Constantin.

Choosing three VC's for this vertical collection is an extremely difficult task, because this storied Genevan maison has so many incredible watches from both its past and current collections The initial launch included:a) Overseas time only with date, with automatic caliber 5100;b) Overseas Small Model for ladies with automatic caliber 5300;c) Overseas Chronograph with automatic caliber 5200, and in-house column wheel chronograph movement;d) Overseas Ultra-Thin with legendary caliber 1120/1;e) Overseas Ultra- Thin Perpetual Calendar with legendary caliber 1120 QP/1 The entire third series of the Overseas collection was conceived with the new Geneva Seal criteria in mind; that is, they apply to the entire watch.

37 because three places fall under a Quarter Time Zone, and ten falls under a Half Time Zone Global travel goes back to the very origins of VC By launching the Overseas World Time, VC integrated the ultimate travel watch with the ultimate world time movement, and as such created a fitting Must Have VC in this Vertical Collection.
