    SINCE its inception in 1755, the hallmark of Vacheron Constantin’s identity lies in its mastery of horological complications.

    The Maison’s archives reveal that it produced its first complication watch as early as 1790, and it quickly distinguished itself through its dedication to complex watch mechanisms and the refinement of their design.

    From the intricate tourbillon in the early 1900s to the 1930 Bras en l’Air (arms in the air) pocket watch with a pioneering double retrograde display, Vacheron Constantin has maintained a relentless pursuit of technical excellence.
