Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron in Geneva, is the oldest Swiss watchmaker in continuous operation. The brand became Vacheron & Constantin in 1819 when François Constantin joined the company, bringing with him the motto that still defines the brand: “Do better if possible, and that is always possible.” Throughout its nearly 270-year history, Vacheron Constantin has been known for its technical mastery, artistic dials, and commitment to traditional watchmaking. It has produced everything from elegant dress watches to ultra-complicated masterpieces, including the world’s most complicated mechanical watch, the Ref. 57260, released in 2015 with 57 complications. Now part of the Richemont Group, Vacheron continues to create high horology icons such as the Overseas, Patrimony, and Historiques collections, maintaining its legacy as one of the “Holy Trinity” of Swiss watchmaking alongside Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet.
