Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron in Geneva, is the world’s oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer. From its earliest years, the brand earned a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and artistic finishing. In 1819, François Constantin joined the company, establishing the partnership that gave rise to its enduring name and motto: “Do better if possible, and that is always possible.”

The brand has been at the forefront of horological innovation, producing ultra-thin calibers, grand complications, and exquisite hand-finished timepieces. Its watches have been worn by royalty, dignitaries, and collectors worldwide. Today, Vacheron Constantin remains one of the most prestigious houses in haute horlogerie, celebrated for its tradition, technical mastery, and timeless elegance.
