Vacheron Constantin Watches

Vacheron Constantin - the great and the oldest watch brand in the world of watches began its journey in the year 1755. Jean-Marc Vacheron is the name of the legend who founded this company in Geneva Switzerland. Marc Vacheron started the company at a very young age and he was not only popularly known for being a watch manufacturer but was also notable for holding a place amongst the most talented craftsmen.

It did not take Vacheron too long to start with his innovation, thus in 1755 itself, he manufactured a silver pocket watch, which in the later years was popularly known as the very first watch that was made by Jean-Marc Vacheron.

In 1785, Jean-Marc Vacheron’s son Abrahan Vacheron became the successor and headed the family business. He held the calibers of a businessman and somehow handled the effects of the French Revolution and managed to keep the enterprise running. He also passed on his knowledge to his son and taught him the fine art of watchmaking.

1790 was the year when the world saw the first complication by Vacheron Constantin. This not only showed the time but also displayed day and date and was signed as Vacheron à Genève. In 1810, Abraham's son Jacques Barthelemi Vacheron took over the company and extended its export to overseas.

Jacques Barthelemi Vacheron in 1819 made a partnership with Francois Constantin who was a reputed Genevan businessman, hence the brand name was then changed to Vacheron et Constantin.

With a motto of ‘Do better if possible and that is always possible’, the Vacheron Constantin has successfully made it to the list of world’s oldest watch manufacturer.
