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)
