Vacheron Constantin
Brand Story
History & Infomation On The Brand
Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron in Geneva, Switzerland, is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious watchmakers, with an uninterrupted history of craftsmanship spanning over 265 years. Vacheron Constantin began as a small workshop focused on fine watchmaking and quickly distinguished itself through a commitment to quality and innovative design. In 1819, François Constantin joined the company, helping to expand its reputation internationally with the motto, “Do better if possible, and that is always possible,” a guiding philosophy that has defined the brand ever since.
Vacheron Constantin is renowned for its highly complicated timepieces, intricate hand-finishing, and dedication to traditional Swiss watchmaking techniques. The brand’s expertise in high complications was demonstrated in 1929 with the creation of one of the world’s most complex pocket watches at the time, and again in 2015 with the Reference 57260, which boasts 57 complications—one of the most complicated mechanical watches ever made. Its mastery extends to aesthetic artistry as well, seen in the meticulous guilloché, enameling, and engraving that grace many of its pieces, making each watch a work of art.
Notable collections include the elegant Patrimony, the sporty Overseas, and the iconic Historiques, which pay homage to Vacheron Constantin’s rich heritage. Known for combining technical mastery with timeless style, Vacheron Constantin Watches have become a symbol of prestige and excellence, celebrated by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide for its dedication to perfection in horology and its legacy of uninterrupted innovation.
