Vacheron Constantin

One of not many

17 September 1755: Jean-Marc Vacheron, a young 24-year-old watchmaker from Geneva, hires his apprentice in the presence of a notary. This contract, the oldest known document in Vacheron Constantin’s history, officially marks the birth of the watchmaking factory, today the oldest in the world to boast uninterrupted activity. In over 265 years of uninterrupted history, Vacheron Constantin has created a partnership between age-old savoir-faire and cutting-edge technology, aimed at creating ever more sophisticated timepieces. The Maison offers a wide range of movements, from the essential time-only watch to the more complicated, equipped with functions such as the Perpetual Calendar, Chronograph, Moon phases, the sautante Heure, the Tourbillon or the Minute Repeater.

“Do better if possible and it is always possible”.
The words of François Constantin of July 5, 1819

High standards are our super value

Over the centuries, Vacheron Constantin has shrewdly intertwined tradition with innovation, to give each customer, whether enthusiast, expert, or collector, a unique vision of time. At each stage of production, the components of the watch - be they gold or steel, visible or invisible, main mechanisms or even micro-screws - are made, decorated and tested individually, each with the same meticulous attention. There is no room for compromise or errors: humility comes first. As one of our watchmakers likes to say: "if we forget to be humble, it is the watch that reminds us who is the strongest ". Peaceful, patient and faithful to extremely high standards, watchmakers set themselves always new challenges: the most daring reinvent even the profession. "Must go on. The model that I prefer is always the next ". Sharp tools, refined cuts, smooth corners, circular finishes . “let's play with light, alternating matte and shiny surfaces to make the motifs vibrate".
