Spotlight on Vacheron Constantin | Bold and Timeless Timepieces

September 15th, 2021

For over 260 years, Vacheron Constantin, the world's oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer has been the pinnacle of horological evolution. Powered by innovation and inspired by elegance, each Vacheron Constantin timepiece combines an unwavering philosophy of ingenuity and a relentless pursuit of perfection.

The Evolution of the Geneva Maison

Founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron, this Geneva-based designer has continuously exceeded expectations in terms of technical and artistic innovation.

Vacheron Constantin’s first complication in 1770 and first engine-turned dial in 1779 set the stage for a legacy of excellence.

François’ son and grandson continued to evolve the brand and brought on François Constantin as an associate in 1819. In 1877, the Vacheron Constantin brand was cemented in the annals of history.

Top 5 Vacheron Constantin Collections

Vacheron Constantin creates exquisite collections with technical ingenuity and striking designs. Common features include a tourbillon, perpetual calendar, and minute repeater. Let’s explore these top 5 collections:

Overseas

This collection was relaunched in 2016 to spark the spirit of adventure. After five years of development, the Overseas Collection was designed to convey a relaxed and practical air. Think interchangeable straps made from materials like leather, rubber, gold, or steel.

They are the perfect timepiece if you're always on the go. Explore hidden details such as a perpetual calendar housed in an ultra-thin case. Hand finishes across each component create a glint of light with every movement.

Find self-winding mechanical movements, a robust power reserve, water resistance of 5 to 15 bar, and a soft iron carriage to protect against magnetism.

Fiftysix

In honor of the classic 1956 model, the Fiftysix Collection is contemporary, sophisticated, and casual with a worldly flair that incorporates a timeless style and a bold case. Cases are inspired by the Maltese cross-shaped emblem of the Maison.

Notice the fine detail of the case lugs resembling the arms of a Maltese cross. The crown and dial are elegantly placed for a cohesive look. Complications including full calendar and date-day versions.

Always stay on time with the oscillating mass designed in 22k gold that you can see in all its glory with the transparent back.

Traditionelle

The Traditionelle Collection gives you a first-class ticket back to the 18th century to explore the golden age of Geneva haute horology. Embrace the rich heritage and painstaking detail.

Choose from clean and classic designs or bold and complex ones, each with impeccable craftsmanship passed down through time. Modern touches such as the split-seconds chronograph bring you back to the present day.

Metiers D’Art

The Metiers D’Art Collection celebrates the great explorers of the past. Vacheron Constantin’s artisans are inspired by art and culture. The limited-edition tribute to great explorers is crafted in Gran Feu enamel, each style featuring a portion of a 1519 map from the Miller Atlas. Continue the tradition of explorers with your very own timepiece.

Egerie For Women

Inspired by and made for women, the Egerie Collection combines Haute Couture and Haute Horology in a completely new and striking way. The classic design of the dial features numbers that seemed to hover over a cushion of pure silk, framed by a halo of diamonds.

The dial’s background is inspired by a tapestry technique. Its off-center display is a striking design element.

A transparent sapphire crystal back showcases a powerful movement with a 40 hours power reserve. Reach for the stars with the moon phase model framed by a halo of diamonds and mother of pearl clouds.
