I love the chrysoprase with the blue agate--they're equal in intensity and play off of each other. Very dramatic!He said no thanks!
Here is the chrysoprase with blue agate and earrings
I just bought the “A day in Paris” watch, and it is really really beautiful. I like the look of it much better than a traditional, typical watch. I don’t know a ton about watches, but I feel like VCA watches tend to be more romantic, whimsical and unusual compared to most watch brands.This question has been on my mind. How do you all feel about poetic complication series of VCA watches? Are they worth investing Vs the other watch brands like Alange Sohne? Thank you
Thank you, I love how they both go from solid color to translucent and change shades depending on the light.
If you only care about the look of the watch and you love it sure. Go for it. ITS A work of art for sure. If you’re looking for a watch for the heritage of being and the brand being a watchmaker I would choose A. Lange Sohne or JLC, a personal fave. So depends on your priorities and goals.This question has been on my mind. How do you all feel about poetic complication series of VCA watches?

Wow! Congrats on such a beautiful watch! I agree with you. I find VCA watches to be whimsical, ladylike and bling elegant.
One thing I will say is that VCA watches that are not apart of the poetic complications line definitely do resell for a discount, but that is not necessarily the case for poetic complications watches or high jewelry watches. Part of this has to do with a quartz vs. mechanical mechanism; mechanical mechanisms are generally favored in the watchmaking world. For example, for the watch I bought, only about 500 have been made over the 12-13 years since it’s release. For the more expensive ones in the PC line, my guess is it is even smaller. Usually they resale for equal to what you paid for or even more depending on if the watch is still available. It also depends on price increases as PC watches tend to get a 5-8% price increase every year. If you keep it for at least 5-10 years in good condition I think it would be unusual to lose money on it (not including insurance fees if you do that). I looked predominantly at Sotheby’s/Christie’s for datapoints on this and I will say as a whole not many VCA PC watches have been sold on sites that you can see on the internet, and almost no high jewelry ones.
