Description
Vacheron Constantin was established by Jean-Marc Vacheron, an independent watchmaker, in the heart of Geneva. A key moment in its history came in 1819 when François Constantin joined the company, introducing the guiding principle: “Do better if possible, and that is always possible“.
- Continuous Operation: The Maison has produced watches without interruption since its founding in 1755, a unique feat in the world of horology.
- Innovations: The brand has a history of innovation, creating one of the earliest known complex complications in 1790 and the world’s first non-magnetic timepiece in 1885.
- Geneva Seal: Vacheron Constantin timepieces are often certified with the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva (Geneva Seal), recognizing the highest standards of finishing and accuracy.
