If you asked the Hodinkee team, and frankly most professional watch pundits or historians, who is having the best 2025 from a watchmaking perspective, it's fair to say that most would reply Vacheron Constantin. VC began the year by giving the people exactly what they wanted with a stainless steel version of the 222. Nothing revolutionary, certainly, but a beautifully designed and perfectly executed steel watch that can be worn daily. It was a runaway hit, and exactly what collectors and the community had been asking for.
In our latest In-Depth video interview, Ben assembled the two people who really love and understand Vacheron in a way that few do: Mr. Eddy Tonkin, a world-class collector who has been around forever and has a particular love of Vacheron complications, and Mr. Alexander Schmiedt, the President of Vacheron Constantin Americas. The conversation flows from new releases to historic stories that make this brand so beloved in the community. Check out the full video below.
