In 1755, Jean-Marc Vacheron established his studio in Geneva, and by 1819, François Constantin had collaborated with Jean-Marc Vacheron's descendants to form Vacheron Constantin. The now known Maltese cross trademark was registered in 1880. If you count the year 1755, Vacheron Constantin is arguably the oldest watchmaker and, more importantly, has never interrupted production. King Farouk of Egypt, King of Iran, Duke of Windsor, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Henry Graves and other celebrities were once fans of Vacheron Constantin. In 1996, he joined the Richemont Group and, like A. Lange & Söhne, became the top watch brand within the Richemont Group.
 
Vacheron Constantin now produces around 20,000 pieces a year, and detailed information is stored on models from 1840 onwards. As for the Poinçon de Genève, Vacheron Constantin is also a player who abides by the rules of the game, and despite the increasingly stringent requirements of the Poinçon de Genève, 75% of Vacheron Constantin's watches still receive the Poinçon de Genève.
 
Vacheron Constantin's selling point is elegance and classicism, but neither of these aspects is as good as Patek Philippe, and after Vincent Kaufmann became the head of Vacheron Constantin's design department, design has become a weakness.
 
It is worth mentioning Vacheron Constantin's "Collector's Collection", which is officially restored and then publicly sold and serviced on antique watches, proving to consumers that they have a complete brand archive and strong antique restoration capabilities. Vacheron Constantin's pocket watches and vintage watches are very attractive, and this collection is a reliable way for consumers to collect vintage watches.
 
In 2017, SIHH Vacheron Constantin launched a new heritage series of ultra-thin perpetual calendar watches, and in 2016, a platinum version of the ultra-thin perpetual calendar was launched, and in 2017, a red gold rock gray dial was added, using 18K 5N pink gold appliquéd hour markers, a "beaded" minute scale, a large straight needle, and the color of the dial is quite special, you can take a look.
 
The Maltese barrel type is also a very unique series of Vacheron Constantin, but the Chinese people generally prefer round watches, and the barrel type is more suitable for thick wrists, so the sales in China have been affected to a certain extent. If you're looking for a recognizable look, the Maltese barrel is a good choice, especially for the six-o'clock tourbillon.
 
Vacheron Constantin's "Across the Seas" is very well-known, but it is not recommended, because there are "Nautilus" and "Royal Oak" at the same price, and "Across the Seas" was born after both, which is still somewhat imitative, and the shape of the new "Across the Seas" is a more risky choice.
