In a perfect world I would have loved a very soft Luminous glow but, as it is, its still quite enjoyable!

64 pieces made in 2011 to celebrate the opening of Vacheron Constantin's first US boutique (on 64th and Madison at the time).The first 1921 to be made in Yellow Gold and a dial inspired by an earlier 1919 model which I've added further down in the thread. I first learned of it in JJ Reddick's 'Talki

Rather interesting, this is non-luminous. Its only meant to approximate the radium dial of the true vintage 1919 model. I, too, thought it was lumed at first discovery.

The rarely seen 2011 Limited Edition American 1921 in Yellow Gold made for the opening of Vacheron Constantin's first US boutique. It has been well worn over the years, but that just adds to the charm for me.

It is all personal preference but I much prefer the lugs and the crownguard-less case design over the two previous iterations, as well as the hand design (for non-cloisonne models at least) and the serif font. While a perfect world would give me this model at 37mm in yellow gold, this is a pretty gr

A decidedly casual watch, due to size and height, as well as design. It doesn't fit under your cuff, and so doesn't fit with black tie. I'd opt for a different option here.

But I find it too large, the 38mm Traditionnelle is much nicer

If its been 5+ years go get it pressure tested at your nearest boutique (for free) but otherwise the seals and gaskets should have a service life of 20+ years so there shouldn't be any real reason for failure.

sadly, the lighting was horrendous in the space so any pic I tried to take of the pair turned out poorly. Notice the hand length (Longer on the series 1) and the crown (Smaller on the series one). I disappointingly didn't get a shot of the casebacks.
