Reverting the External links
I have put the initial external links back on the Vacheron Constantin page. I disagree that those links are unsuitable for this article: they don't bare any commercial meaning and they are written in a professional manner. Please, if you wish to delete those links, contact me first or just give a reason for deleting them. I find these links appropriate because the visitors of Wikipedia will be able to find out more additional information on the brand they study. Siliconov 16:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I have reviewed these links and they appear to be appropriate to me. I have also restored the wiki links to other languages.  Wrs1864 16:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry. I removed a spam link that was definitely spam, but then I got "spam eyes" and removed too much. Thanks for the correction. NinaEliza 01:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

This entry needs some serious redoing; it reads like a PR blurb, with total disregard for NPOV. If no one else takes it on, I'll give it a shot myself. Bricology 02:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Go ahead! Just one example:


 * The brand is established in almost 80 countries around the world, distributed through 15 exclusive boutiques as well as a network of over 500 carefully selected points of sale.


 * Let's try to see what this might mean. The brand is established Maybe "the watches are sold"? // 15 exclusive boutiques Do they exclude people who don't look rich, other brands of watches, both, or something else? // over 500 carefully selected points of sale. Does "points of sale" mean stores? If not, what? "Carefully selected" in what way?


 * Actually I've been looking at several articles about watch companies. Several are very earnest, but they're all pretty bad. I'd have thought that what's important in a watch would be accuracy and reliability, but there's seldom much talk about these. It's "mystique", namedropping, etc. -- Hoary (talk) 15:44, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey what happen whit Blancpain founded in 1735.
 * The current Blancpain is a reincarnated brand. The original Blancpain founded in 1735 went out of business. The rights to the Blancpain brand name was bought by Mr Biver in the early 1980s. I know Blancpain makes a big deal about 1735 and how it has never made a quartz watch, but it's a disingenuous claim that's more about marketing, frankly. --92.10.30.159 (talk) 21:07, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
