Vacheron Constantin Launches The Ultra Complicated Reference 57260, Plus Multiple Drop Dead Gorgeous New References At Watches & Wonders 2015
This is shaping up to be an absolutely astonishing year for Vacheron Constantin. Even without the Reference 57260 (which we covered for you here, and here, and here) it would have been an impressive year for VC just on the basis of its new Harmony Collection (which, you might remember, we looked at here and here, and which we also covered in the latest installment of Three on Three). But then, they dropped the Reference 57260 on us – and now, at Watches & Wonders in Hong Kong, they’ve give us even more. Let’s start with a watch we fell in love with the minute we saw the pictures: the Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955. The name is just one of the many things that sound better in French; it means “cow’s horns” – and the watch is pretty much a solid, unadulterated dose of horological pleasure.

The watches were manufactured as

Leather strap's clasps
I have some watches with leather strap, that are hard as rock so I have to put some extra strenght to have it attached to the buckle in the correct hole...I think that this is not good for the strap, and maybe for the pins attached to the watch, for the big stress, so I'm considering in changing the buckles for clasps (only the vintage will keep their buckles :) )So, and maybe is a silly question, but want to be sure, when ordering this clasps, I have to order the size of the buckle? let's say, the width of the straps' ends?Do I made myself clear? sorry but don't know how to explain better

Speedmaster help/opinions
In the market for a Speedmaster and have it narrowed down to these 2:https://cdn2.jomashop/media/cata...0.01.005_1.jpghttps://production-fratellowatches.n...uesday-018.jpgCan obtain the Speedmaster Pro Moon new. The ‘57 re-edition would be bought used....most likely a 1998-2002 Watch. Price is about the same....the used watch a little less.Something about the brushed tachy bezel and broad arrow hands has my attention but I really like the looks of both. I do like the fact that I can get the full box set new with the Speedmaster Pro Moon.Have any of you Speedy owners considered both of these? Any reason to own one over the other? If so why?Help/Thoughts?Thx. and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
