The watch shown is the 1100S/000G-B734.

How to recognise one

Five marks make the look. The count says how many of the 2 homages keep each one.

  • Cushion case

    A rounded-square case with polished, curved sides.

  • Crown at 1

    The crown sits high on the right, near 1 o'clock on the case.

  • Brush-stroke Arabic numerals

    Black Arabic numerals with swelling strokes mark every hour.

  • Turned dial

    The dial is rotated so 12 sits towards the upper right, beside the crown.

  • Small seconds subdial

    0 of 2 keep it, 1 not compared yet. A silver subdial with its own seconds hand sits low on the right.

Each close-up covers about 12.5 mm of watch, using the listed case width and estimated photo edges.

Two to start with

Picked from the record by marks kept, price and size, each sold under its own maker's name, not as a Vacheron Constantin.
