Vacheron traces its history back to 1755 when Jean-Marc Vacheron
established his watchmaking firm in Geneva. Francois Constantin joined
in 1819 creating Vacheron & Constantin. In 1974, Vacheron & Constantin
officially dropped the ampersand from the company name, although its
wristwatches had already engraved with the newer title since the
1950s. Among its multitude of watchmaking firsts, Vacheron Constantin
invented the winding crown. Today, Vacheron Constantin manufactures
superb complications and exquisite wristwatches coveted by even the
most discerning collector.
