About Vacheron Constantin Watches

Vacheron aspired to be one of the leading innovators in the industry. By 1770, he designed the first “complicated” watch, meaning it was not just time-only, and produced the first engine-turned dials just nine years later. Once the watchmaking company expanded outside of Switzerland, Vacheron met a savvy business strategist named François Constantin and formed a partnership. Together, they created Vacheron Constantin as we know it today.

Once the company expanded to the Americas, the popularity of Vacheron Constantin watches grew. They were inspired to bring on an engineer to design their parts, and Georges-Aguste Leschot proved to be a huge asset to the brand with the creation of the pantograph, which served as a major contribution to the standardization of watch movements.

After years of ownership changes, the brand introduced exciting releases in the 2000s, including the Patrimony line, the Overseas, the Tour de I’lle, and the Metiers d’Art collection. In more recent years, they released two spectacular new models in the Overseas collection: a tourbillon and an ultra-thin perpetual calendar. Later that year, they also released the Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual calendar, which features an astonishing 65-day power reserve. Vacheron Constantin continues to be a formidable force in the watch industry.
