This is a stunning, huge Vacheron Constantin conversion - a simply amazing piece that will certainly be noticed on your wrist. Dating from around 1900, the watch is in gleaming condition and features a huge 44mm solid steel case, original winding crown, high quality, very clean hand-wound Vacheron Constantin movement and a beautiful mint dial with sought after blued-steel Breguet 'moon' hands. The watch comes complete with a new high-grade leather strap and a new, quality presentation case. Conversions of this quality are highly collectable owing to their uniqueness and will only rise further in value, making it an excellent financial investment as well as a beautiful possession. This really is a case of you persuading us to sell as we love the watch - it really is a top quality conversion; the craftsmanship is superb - so no low offers please. We wore the watch for three days to test it and we really didn't want to take it off.

We also provide a full receipt, six months guarantee (long enough for you to assess the working order) and a professional insurance valuation (We are approved to provide insurance valuations for wrist and pocket watches).

The huge high quality steel three-piece case is in mint gleaming condition, with no significant wear. It measures 44mm wide, excluding the original winding crown x 12.5mm thick x 52mm long, including the lugs. The case back features a glass observation window, through which the movement can be viewed.
The beautiful dial is in mint clean condition and is signed 'Vacheron & Constantin' and 'Geneve'. The original blued steel Breguet 'moon' hands are in mint, unbent condition, and the high quality glass lens is also mint.
The hand-wound Vacheron Constantin movement is very high-grade, with centre jewel, and is in near-mint, gleaming, clean condition. It is signed 'Vacheron Constantin' with the Geneva seal, 'Swiss', 'Adjusted', the '317195' movement reference number. The movement is also signed 'J.C. Herkner Jewelry Co. Grand Rapids Mich', the high class jeweller Vacheron made the original watch for. The movement has just been serviced by a master watchmaker and is in excellent working order, with no issues.
We have put this beautiful watch on a new, high-grade heavy leather strap, which suits it perfectly, complete with gleaming steel buckle. The he watch will be presented in a new, high quality watch box for safekeeping.
A superb watch from one of history's most famous names; full of charm and 'wow' factor. Again, will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
