The History of Vacheron Constantin

Unlike many modern watching making companies focused on creating luxury wrist watches, Vacheron Constantin is no new kid on the block. This company has a formidable reputation spanning almost 300 years and they are responsible for reinventing the art of creating fine, luxury watches.

The company was founded by Jean-Marc Vacheron and has been further built by his descendants, making it one of the longest standing and most successful watchmaking companies on the planet.

Vacheron, the youngest of 5 sons, was born into a family of weavers and from an early age, he was taught the importance of and the ability to work with his hands. At the age of 24, having fallen in love with the idea of watchmaking, he created his workshop and started manufacturing his own brand of priceless watches.

From the very first day of his watchmaking career, Vacheron’s watches showed the possibility of being a long lasting collection. And given the almost 300 years that this company has been in business, this possibility has been turned into a reality.

When the time came for one of Jean-Marc’s sons to take over the family business, the company almost ran into trouble. Faced with the fall out of the French Revolution and the occupation of Geneva, it was his steely reserve and optimism that by the end of the 1789s the company had created the world’s first Lepine watch.

In the many centuries since, the brand has been passed down to the founder’s children and his descendants until eventually, the company partnered with Francois Constantin, and with his drive to make even better watches, the company thrived. We also buy Vacheron Constantin watches.
