Founded in 1755, Vacheron Constantin is the world’s oldest watch manufacturer in continuous operation. A pillar of the esteemed “Holy Trinity” of Swiss watchmaking—alongside Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet—Vacheron Constantin is revered for its uncompromising craftsmanship, timeless design, and highly complex mechanical innovations.
A Legacy Spanning Over 260 Years
Vacheron Constantin began in Geneva with Jean-Marc Vacheron and has since become a symbol of excellence in haute horology. From creating the world’s first watch complication in the 18th century to producing the most complicated mechanical watch ever made—the Ref. 57260 with 57 complications—the brand has repeatedly set new benchmarks for innovation.
Each timepiece is a masterclass in artistry and engineering, often featuring handcrafted dials, intricate guilloché engraving, and in-house complications such as tourbillons, perpetual calendars, and minute repeaters.
Iconic Collections
1. Overseas Collection
Sporty yet sophisticated, the Overseas range is ideal for travellers and professionals. With interchangeable straps and complications like chronographs and world timers, it blends luxury with practicality.
2. Patrimony Collection
Inspired by the 1950s, Patrimony watches are renowned for their minimalist dials and ultra-thin cases. Models in this line often feature moon phases, retrograde dates, and minute repeaters.
3. Historiques Collection
Celebrating classic designs from Vacheron Constantin’s archives, the Historiques line revives icons like the American 1921 and the Cornes de Vache 1955—modern tributes to horological heritage.
Why Vacheron Constantin Watches Are So Valuable
Owning a Vacheron Constantin is not just about wearing a watch—it’s about possessing a piece of history. Their limited production, exceptional finishing, and prestigious legacy contribute to strong resale value, particularly for collectors and connoisseurs of fine watchmaking.
