Vacheron is my favorite of the 3, I'd love to get a 1921 one day

Love this… from a larger production pov I think you guys nailed it. That’s easily VC, PP and AP. Would love to see this video but talking about the independents/relatively smaller folks. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great idea!

Great overview! Elisabeth I love the AP on your wrist. There are other brands making timepieces at the same level and standard as the holy trinity including A Lange & Sohne and independents like F.P. Journe.

VC is the maison that embodies Greatness , classicism and integrity . In my eyes , the most exclusive out of the holy trinity . We can observe than only powerful people are wearing it ( not looking to be aknowledged by randoms )

I always thought Breguet, the developer of the TOURBILLON should be right up there with the trinity to make it a quadrinity (or maybe a tetrinity).

Again, another great video! Lots of information and great pieces to illustrate your points! Keep it going!

Lange makes the best movements and their finishing is unreal, IMO. They are horrible at marketing and branding, so they are often overlooked compared to the Holy Trinity. Their workmanship and quality is right up there with the big 3!

Don't totally agree with that. I do agree that their finishing is equal to the top three, but when it comes to movements I would say JLC make the best movements, and that's why AP, Patek and Vacheron have used them.

Lange has higher finishing and craftsmanship than the so called holy Trinity. AP has the worst of them all

In Lange's defense, its technically the holy trinity of swiss watchmaking. If it was just the trinity, then AP would be out and Lange would not just be in, it would hold the top spot inside the trinity.

Great place! I visited Ryan and Bill yesterday and walked out with two watches for a great deal (super thrilled. Thanks guys). Fair pricing. Fair trading policies. A real pleasurable experience all around.

Nice episode. I'd love to someday own either a vintage Calatrava or a vintage AP dress watch. Not a fan of the RO or the Nautilus. Cheers!

Breguet and JLC should be up there too :(

@8:40 the watch shown is not the VC57260, the watch with 57 complications tho

Love the video. You're pronouncing "Constantin" incorrectly. You're almost there with "Vacheron".

Ryan is the man 💪🏼

I like to add Jaeger LeCoutre. Have you guys ever seen their high end complications? Check out the Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185.

The real holy Trinity is Lange, Patek and Vacheron 👌👍

Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin may be the Holy trinity but the Casio F-91W is the Supreme Being.

Vc It's my favorite

Patek Philippe's movements are rivaled by A. Lange & Söhne. IMHO A. Lange & Söhne even makes the better movements! As a Swiss I have to admit this fact! It doesn't change the holy trinity because this is only about Swiss watches. Swatch group even claims that Blancpain stays the oldest brand in the world! And it's amazing to note that Blancpain never made quartz watches. Even the Blancpain x Swatch watches use System 51 - the automatic movement by Swatch! 😇

❤

Why Does AP get regarded in the Holy Trinity when all they have is the RO? They literally have no other independent model lines outside of the RO that people want. One Trick Pony!

AP should be cut after those hideous comic book watches. Tell me with a straight face those are timeless.

BREGUET! ! ! ! They should not be in the trinity, BREGUET Vader voice " Is their father!" T)

Half of Patek’s output is ladies quartz watches. What does that tell you?? Many collectors will tell you that Lange and Journe are far better than Patek.

A Lange and Sohne are equal to the top three, but not better. FP Jorne are also good but I think their designs are way off what people want and if they where not pushed so hard by Matchbox, they would not be even mentioned.

You have to keep Rolex in there but I also understand having Vasch Constantine in there as it’s also right on that list. Maybe it shouldn’t be a trinity but a quaternity and that wood solve it

Trinity swiss watches are like rolls royce, even if you have enough money you can’t buy it or you have to wait in a queue for it(Plus they are mostly handmade and complex watches). While rolex is like mercedes, if you have money you can order one(They are mostly fabricated and simpler).

​@emphasis20 Uh no. Omega isn't better than Rolex on ANY level and whike Glas may have better movement overall its not as durable or well made as Rolex Rolex isn't Rolex because of marketing my man, it a damn good watch. SMDH FBA/B1

The holy trinity is Rolex, Omega & TAG

Vacheron Constantin

AP makes bad quality watches with a lot of movement, Date and puchers/crown issues. Talking of years of experience with the brand…AP is nothing without the model Royal oak and is mass produced…over 80% of 50k watches per year is the RO. The real Holy Trinity is Patek, Vacheron and Lange. 👌 AP is more like Hublot with 400 different colored Royal oaks and bs limited editions 👍

Lange & Söhne make really nice watches, too. But they are German. So better to say it is Swiss Trinity.
