Saw this gorgeous Vacheron Constantin on a dealer website. Apart from the crown, I appreciate its simplicity



But it was the caseback that intrigued me.



Can anyone offer a translation?

 

I showed my friend he said it says something along the lines of: 'Commemorative week benevolence meeting.' And on top: 'Educators award'

 

Thank you!

 

Watch Of death if I'm reading it correctly

 

"He who wears this watch will be banished to the seventh level of hell."

 

Fixed.

I felt this way back in my college days. Obviously, I’ve had a change of heart.

 

"That crown, yucky-yucky!"

 

My wife's mom just took a looked. Apparently the top section is the name of the professor. Apparently a Japanese name. The second part says award for 10 years of lecturing (or something like that).

 

I need a new job only 10 yrs and they got a Vacheron...not bad

 

Nice watch for only ten years’ lecturing. Maybe in lieu of a salary?

 

It is kanji....

 

Asked my Japanese friend. He said it translates to "Prof. Taro Fujiu, 10th anniversary of Majin Group"

 

Yep, they are Japanese.

- 藤生太郎教授: Prof. Taro Fujiu
- 開講十周年記念: 10th anniversary of founding/starting (a school, lecture or something)
- 眞仁会: Shinjin-kai

I Googled them quickly but could not find any concrete information.
Shinjin-kai should be some kind of organization ("kai" means organization/group), perhaps education related.
My guess would be; the watch was gifted to Prof. Fujiu from Shinjin-kai to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his lecture, which had been sponsored or supported by them.
