VC announces ext warranty to 8 years!

[raclaims]

Stop trying so maybe I can get mine to go through lol

I think we have overwhelmed their tech!

Maybe their servers are manually wound

You brought up a very valid point. I love my OS, but the absence of hacking seconds feature makes me cringe every time I wind it...

I feel like that's been my last 2months on their website (The Hour Club).

[nhoangtam]

You all gave me a good laugh. Maybe this VC way of getting more traffic to their Hour Club website. Oh well I will try again next week or next month lol.

[enjoythemusic]

Yeah, wait a week or two and try again. Maybe they're Beta testing their IT dept ;-)

Thanks for the link. Still doesn't work for me. I'll probably just call my SA and see if they can do it from their end.

[Northlove]

Doesn’t work for me neither.

Done mine. Worked fine. Only issue was the need to scan the QR code printed on a reflective sticker. Had to manually typed in the serial number.

I still can't get it to work...unreal

[cramsey]

Been trying off and on since I first saw this thread over the weekend... still loading.

[EEpro]

Thanks for the heads up! I just registered my 4500V/110A-B128 and it's showing 2029. Epic.

There was no QR code on my warranty card so I typed in the serial and the rest populated without any issue.

[RaZCaL]

I just registered and it worked. Warranty thru 2029!

I have same issue but my watch just passed 2 years warranty expiry 2 months ago…

The button is still there but Vacheron SA told me if warranty has expired then not eligible..

How long did you wait for the watch?

2029!

Do we know the conditions for the extension? My warranty papers were stamped 13/1/2020 and I have trouble getting this to work.

Because you are over two years. Needed to extend on Jan 13 or earlier

[wuyangkid]

I've logged into the hour club but don't see anything about the 8 year warranty extension

Not that I'd call VC the "Hyundai of watches" or anything, but isn't the 10-year warranty what first made the rest of the world (or at least the North American market) take the Korean auto giant and its brands seriously in a whole new way?

This also seems to be an area where VC can take advantage of the Richemont resources in ways not available to AP/PP.

Great to have longer warranties, just hope VC does lower the movements overall quality or remove features like Richemont's Panerai did IMHO.

I was thinking more about 1) the fact that (I thought...) JLC still builds a lot of VC movements and 2) the additional know-how, capacity and parts availability that comes with being under the same roof.

Yes, true, as does keeping operating costs to a minimum. Panerai removed hack seconds and other changes. I'd keep an eye out for lowering of decoration and removal of features in future models.

Not sure I understand that. I would think there should not be more than 2 years between date of purchase and the date of the announcement, or the effective date if later.

One brand is high horology
One brand is a marketing gimmick

VC movements lasted way longer then their 2yr warranties, even going back a decade.
