That would be thrilling to achieve such a theme.

As we speak of the 4178, what about this one?

Brothers in arms: my VC Chronos
By: mrds : May 10th, 2020-03:06
70 years apart, but powered by the same engine, the Lemania 2310. Both watches have many things in common: The 30-minute chronograph, dial layout, tachymeter scale, the fancy lugs. But both have their very own personality. The Cornes de Vache is a watch t...
A worthy grail

Not mine any longer though :-( ...
No regrets
By: Tick Talk : May 11th, 2020-14:53
it paid some bills ;-)
Both wonderful

for me the modern Historique (CdV) however, is an absolute dream. What an extremely fine watch oozing class. Thanks! Kind Regards, George
Thanks, George!

I own the CDV since 2018 and it is one of the watches I have on my wrist most often. It’s just so delicious to look at! Glad you like it, and thanks for your kind words. Daniel
I can unserstand that, Daniël.
By: George Gently : May 10th, 2020-04:49
I’d be obliged if you share pictures of your CdV more often with us. It’s indeed a sight to behold.
Fantastic duo

that platinum CdV 🤤
The best!
By: TeutonicCarFan : May 10th, 2020-12:24
CdV and black dial duomtre chronograph really are my favorites right now, and maybe the enamel breguet . Oddly right now I am thinking of something for centennial of the 1921, they can't ignore that!
Ahh the 1921...
By: mrds : May 10th, 2020-13:34
A constant obsession for me! There is hope... Cheers, Daniel
Wonderful!
By: TeutonicCarFan : May 10th, 2020-16:21
This one is splendid.. the rose gold really pops with the background.
Yes, the CDV is an absolute pleasure to wear
By: mrds : May 10th, 2020-07:56
I wear it far more often than the 4178, which is reserved for special occasions. If I take the feedbacks so far as votes, the CDV has a 4-1 lead. Cheers, Daniel
Fantastic combo!
By: J K : May 10th, 2020-08:20
Funny enough, I prefer the older version though.
You have sharp eyes, mdg.
By: mrds : May 10th, 2020-13:29
Frankly I have no ideas about the 3-6-9 on the minute register. Phone calls might be a good bet. I‘ll check with VC staff once they reopen. Thanks for watching!
that is the official version
By: Tick Talk : May 11th, 2020-06:31
as long-distance calls were billed in 3-minute increments. 9 minutes wouldn't cover a call between my wife and daughters!
I put this question forward to VC
By: mrds : May 11th, 2020-12:33
after all they have the history and the historians. I‘m curious what their explanation is. I‘ll keep you posted.
I hope the good people at VCs Heritage Dept
By: Tick Talk : May 12th, 2020-17:04
get back into the offices soon, there must be a bit of a backlog by now. While you wait, this is from Complicated Watches and their Repair by Donald de Carle, 1956 ...
Wow, what a wonderful VC!
By: mrds : May 10th, 2020-13:25
That guilloche dial, and sensual case... Top class! Thanks for sharing this with us, dear Juan! Daniel
Beautiful pieces
By: Tick Talk : May 11th, 2020-06:20
and not to nit pick but your 4178 has a 13-ligne Valjoux calibre 434 with 19 jewels I celebrate other differences, as well. Mention of the ampersand was already made, and along that theme, the ref 4178 is an original model and the CdV is a homage to the r...
Thanks, TickTalk, for the movement pic and additional info
By: mrds : May 11th, 2020-12:39
Beautiful movement in your 4178! You’re spot on with the info on the movement. The only point I‘m not sure is that you state a Valjoux Cal. 434, while I thought it to be a VC Cal. 434 based on Lemania‘s 2310. Could you explain the Valjoux connection? Than...
Valjoux vs Lemania
By: Tick Talk : May 12th, 2020-09:26
This from : In the 1940's, Lemania and Omega worked together on a project called "27 CHRO C12" to develop a 27 mm diameter chronograph with a 12-hour register. Lead by Albert Piguet and Jaques Reymond, this project resulted in the 1942 launch of the Leman...

Thanks a lot, Ed!

Coming from you, those words count double 🙏
