Founded in 1755 in Geneva, Switzerland, Vacheron Constantin is the oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer in the world with over 260 years of expertise in fine watchmaking. Known as the "Cabinotiers" or cabinet-makers of luxury Swiss watches, Vacheron Constantin combines traditional artistic crafts like engraving and engine-turning with cutting edge technological innovation to produce exquisite timepieces. Vacheron Constantin's illustrious history includes clients like Napoleon Bonaparte, Harry Truman and Pope Pius XI underscoring the brand's reputation for excellence.

With deep heritage paired with dynamic innovation in an era of increasing mass production, Vacheron Constantin preserves the individualized art of fine Swiss watchmaking refined over generations.
