I happen to work in this industry, and just a word for those that compare this with an Apple Watch or a Casio, this Vacheron-Constantin will likely be around 200 years from now, it will still be a testimony of the refinement and engineering of a fine craft that few can achieve, a highly valued item with specialist technicians marvelling on the talent of its builders, just as is the case today with 200 year old timepieces.
you'll be very lucky if your Casio can last as long. Your mass commoditised Apple watch will likely be worthless.
Personaly, I like the IWC on my wrist as much as I like my Casio G-Shock, both are wonderful in their own way.
The Apple watch on my wife's wrist is a fine computer i guess, but at some point, it will have the same "quaint charm" as the IBM Thinkpad she owned 23 years ago.
