Vacheron Constantin, Mastery in Watchmaking Since 1755

Vacheron Constantin has existed for over 250 years; its history can be traced back to 1755 when a young watchmaker, Jean-Marc Vacheron, established his workshop in the center of Geneva. Vacheron was highly intelligent and well-educated; a cabinotier who soon moved on to the creation of watches that gradually acquired worldwide fame.

François Constantin, an experienced entrepreneur, entered into a partnership with Jaques-Barthélemy, the founder’s grandson. For many years, Constantin traveled across Europe, establishing new markets for the innovative products of the brand that was renamed Vacheron & Constantin.

The house has made some crucial contributions to horology. It has created a renowned line of ‘super complications’, including prominent historical figures like the Eygptian kings Fuad I and Farouk. Furthermore, the brand has successfully manufactured vintage watches using the latest technology, developing iconic ultra-thin movements as well as creating a watch with a power reserve of 65 days.
