Explore Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin’s story begins in Geneva in 1755, with watchmaker Jean-Marc Vacheron. François Constantin joined the business in 1819, bringing the second name and a wider commercial reach. Across its long history, the manufacture has made room for both restrained dress watches and wonderfully unconventional shapes. The Maltese cross on the dial is a familiar signature; the watch beneath it can be anything but predictable.

The Patrimony pares things back to slim cases, slender hands, and quietly curved dials. Traditionnelle takes a more architectural approach, with stepped cases and railway minute tracks. Then there’s the Historiques American 1921: a cushion case, a crown tucked into one corner, and a dial rotated to make reading the hour an entirely different experience.

For everyday versatility, the Overseas brings angular cases and bracelets whose links echo the Maltese cross. Its predecessor, the 222, arrived in 1977; today’s Historiques 222 preserves that design’s compact proportions, notched bezel, and closely fitted bracelet.
