Vacheron Constantin

Machine translation pending human review. Figures and sources match the original.

Vacheron Constantin began in Geneva in 1755 with Jean-Marc Vacheron's workshop. François Constantin joined as a partner in 1819, and the Maltese cross became its symbol in 1880. The house passed to Richemont in 1996. Its watchmaking combines classic lines such as Patrimony with the sporty Overseas, heir to the 1977 222, and commissions of extreme complication such as the 2024 Berkley Grand Complication, a pocket watch.
