Vacheron Constantin 222 reissue

  
 This is the hot season for all fans of watch as most of the makers are announcing their new 2022 watches in this few days.

There are so many sites and bloggers talking about Rolex, I don't feel needed to say anything about it. Rolex effortlessly just put the crown from right to left and add a new bezel colour to green to create the new GMT Master.  Only you are Rolex Fans, or you will not be getting excited at all.

Above all these, I feel this is the most exciting watch of the year. 

Vacheron Constantin is reissuing its luxury sport watch launched in 1977, the model 222, as the 222th anniversary of the watch company established on 1755. The model 222 is the third watch of the so called Holy Trinity of luxury sport watches besides the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, and Patek Philippe Nautilus. As they shared the same basic JLC movement by that time.

Being a big fan of Vacheron Constantin, I once owned the 222 Jumbo in gold. 

One 222 was auctioned in 2021 with HK$1.3M. 

This 2022 model 222 is made with 37mm as diameter, 2mm smaller than the original 222 in 1977. Well, this is the perfect size, and the norm for most of  the new generation modern watches.

This is perfect size for me except the price is EUR 62,000,  I think this watch will be selling easier X2.5 more in the open market, I wish I could get one in Boutique at SRP.
