I actually like how these videos are tailored to the style of each editor as opposed to having the same format for each review.

I was never a fan of gold watches but this VC really changed everything for me. Definitely one of their best looking watches IMHO. The bracelet as well is just absolutely stunning.

Jack is now at Watchbox and that’s what matters! For years now, and mostly thanks to the incredible Tim Mosso, Watchbox has produced amazing content solely focused on watches, and nothing else. Now that Jack and Tim are joining forces, they’ll be an unstoppable (horological) machine.

Thank you for this video. What a great send-off for jack from Hodinkee. I also feel like Hodinkee should do a farewell to Jack as he moves on to Matchbox. What a great run it's been.

That is a good looking watch. Also, thank you for everything Jack, your work has been amazing. I will miss your work here, but I look forward to seeing your work for WatchBox.

For me jack is the watch voice and the only reason I watched hodinkee!! Best of luck in you're future endeavours jack

Best of luck in your new position, Jack. You will be missed at Hodinkee, but we look forward to seeing you at Watchbox. Cheers.

The most beautiful watch ever made

Thank you very much Jack, best of luck and be well!

Love your Videos! Always great content to enjoy! Greetings from Germany/AW.

Jack we will miss you but I’m excited to see your takeover at Watchbox 👏

I own the gold tone Tissot prx and it really looks like this amazing watch

The first Vacheron 222 was launched 1977. The Tissot PRX came after that. Hence saying it’s copying the PRX is just silly.

You’re unbelievably eloquent in your description of heavy metal watches :D

It's so beautiful.

the one in steel looks amazing.

Me wearing a 222 for a week: darting nervously from place to place with my sleeves rolled down, anxiety inducing nervosa, brought upon by subtle time checks, and covered glances at my watch after eyeing my surroundings like a lost deer, followed by lost sleep and meticulous infantilizing of my watch.

The way he said "gold", perfectly describes that dirty feeling you get with that metal. That watch is beautiful, elegant and utterly filthy

Posthumous post for JF. Nice.

The watch is a masterpiece.

To possess of the Overseas I can say that this 222 is a fantastic watch, the case vaguely resembles the Tissot PRX.

If anyone needed any further proof that Tissot have done a near perfect job with the PRX (esp the 35mm) here it is - albeit there’s no comparison with the materials used / movement - nonetheless considering you can have a beautifully executed design like this that’s well finished on your wrist for a few hundred dollars is remarkable

@josehaddock2073

I love my 40mm quartz version, although I also heave a VC overseas 2nd gen. The materials and finishing of the PRX is remarkable for a $300 watch.

Such a beautiful piece! Hope VC issues a SS version soon.

You seemed somehow to be the conscience of Hodinkee. Possibly Watchbox needs one too. Or maybe another one. Good luck.

decent homage to the original PRX…except for the Maltese cross, 18K yellow gold, not quartz and being one year earlier to the party!

Love Jack. Have him do more weeks on the wrist!!

This will be my second Vacheron.

I love this watch, and I'm looking to pick up my second VC this spring (blue Overseas). Thinking of the third but man it's tough to justify $74k for a time/date gold watch. Basically double a day-date and $10k over an AP RO full gold.

@golfinguru11

The ultra thin Royal Oak in Yellow gold retails for $71k but you’ll never get it at retail (it’s $140k grey) think of this as (basically) the same watch without the hype of the royal oak. Day-date is no comparison, as its thickness, lack of refinement, and gaudiness make it a completely different proposition.

Damn, Vacheron really copied the PRX… 😂

I’m very glad to see this watch as likely Jack’s last work for Hodinkee. With that said: Hodinkee is worse with Jack gone. I hope it was 100% his decision and not that of Hodinkee.

Brilliant delivery as always.....however on this occasion the muted colour grading does a luxury watch of this calibre no favours. The rich, lustre, glister and yellow warmth of well being are missing. I hope for 60K you can extend the bracelet a couple of 8ths when flying to your tropical Island.

It's already scratched! 😮

We'll miss you Jack

That watch looks just like the 36 mm gold Rolex quartz president

Goodbye jack 😭😭😭 see u on watchbox

How about placing that delicate watch made of soft metal on a cloth instead of directly on a rough wooden tabletop?

Not my thing but impressive work.

Looks just like my Patek 7118 1r tbh

It makes me have more confidence to tell my boss that he can swap his vash with my prx :))))

Why would some mainstream watch site feature an unobtainium watch on 'a week on wrist' - let me cut the story short: it feels awesome to even be in the presence of such a piece and yes it's perfect in every aspect. Please continue with hamiltons, seikos, citizens, tissots, oris's, timex's etc... This is not what I want to see: experience of John with a watch that cant be bought in a lifetime.

This seems more like a basic review of the watch and an explanation of it's history and specs, which is fine. Just not sure how this is "a week on the wrist." Where did you go with it? How did it wear as you went about your daily routines? What sort of outfits did you feel inclined to wear / not wear because you had this watch as an accessory? You know...what was it like to wear it?....for a week....on your wrist?

needs to have a larger version.....40-42mm

How is the ROak, nautilus and 222 a sports watch and the datejust isn’t ?

If you like this watch but can not get it because of the price like 99,8% of the viewers probably, don‘t sleep on the Seiko 5 „Globe“ SNK665! :) even cheaper than PRX but hard to find like the VC222

Is is Jack’s swan song?

Guys, I don’t need a week to know the history and specs of this watch. A week on the wrist is: take it outside, to the office, to the pub, spend the time with your friends and family. Let us know what do you think about the watch in your day to day life activities. How does a watch cost this much affects you in your daily life, will the gold Color matches your outfit? Do you wear it casually or with formal attire ? Let us know how do you feel about it while wearing at home or in the toilet. Jack, please. This is not a week on the wrist.
