Vacheron Constantin Presents "Classic With A Twist" At NYC Flagship Opening Exhibit
The all-glass facade of the new Vacheron Constantin flagshop at 57th and Madison in New York City.The grand opening of Vacheron Constantin's New York flagship at 57th and Madison last week was a star-studded affair with a fashion-week vibe. Guests included Katie Holmes, several supermodels, and the brilliant actor Alan Cumming, who performed a cabaret routine at a gala dinner following the opening. For watch lovers, however, the real star of the show was the special exhibit "Classic With A Twist,"a curated collection of vintage Vacheron Constantin watches from the 1910s to the 1930s (on display at the store through November).

Watch Review: Armand Nicolet J09-3 GMT
This watch grew on me over time, but for some reason I can’t think of a decent nickname for it. I challenge you, dear reader, to imagine a proper title for this Armand Nicolet J09-3 GMT timepiece, with its even sexier “A663AAA-BU-MA4660A” reference number. That just rolls off the tongue. The boys and girls at Armand Nicolet have a sense of humor, at least. Each new collection I view from the brand seems like a combination of something we very much know with something we have never seen before, a dedication I admire.The J09-3 collection is actually just the name of this case style; the GMT is just one subfamily. As of writing, across the Armand J09-3 family, there are 36 different references. This includes three movement families, which include a Swiss Made automatic three-hand with date movement, GMT (as reviewed), and a mechanical chronograph. The three-hand model is the most conservative, from afar, and the chronograph is probably the sportiest of the J09-3 pieces.
