This vintage Vacheron Constantin dress watch really need a good restoration as it is not running very well. Vacheron is part of the holy trinity with Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet. Always a pleasure to work on legendary vintage watches like this Vacheron K1014 caliber

I was wondering why you are not uploading, so I came here and just read about your accident and comma. I truly wish you the best recovery possible, so you can be back doing what you love, and we can enjoy your skills again. Wishing you the best my friend, greetings from Spain.

Le bonheur des Horlogers ces calibres aux Côtes de Genève, ces perlages, cachés aux yeux des "communs", des possesseurs de ces Passes Temps... Maintenant on a des fonds "cristal" qui nous laissent entrevoir une partie de la beauté de ces mouvements 🖐️⌚

I loved that video so much, it was like watching a master chef at work. The way they handled every element was so effortless and perfect, it was like they were dancing with the ingredients. And the final product was an absolute masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that left my taste buds singing. I'm so glad I watched that video, it was an experience I won't soon forget.

Cher Monsieur, • Thank goodness I have finally found your reply! I’m thrilled to see you writing for yourself! • I did not know you had had an accident when I wrote the above supposedly “humorous” question. Now I feel like un vrai HEEL about writing that! I am sorry! • I know I deleted two other comments of mine, when I found out, but this one sounds so bad, considering the trouble you’ve had! • Please continue to heal & recuperate, and KNOW that YOU & YOUR HEALTH have been on my mind a lot! • I asked on your website if you wanted to provide a postal address, so I could send you a REAL “GET WELL” CARD. • If you feel like you want to do that, I suppose you have access to my email address in your records. • THANK GOD YOU ARE ALIVE, ❤️‍🩹!
