Celebrating 270 years of unrivaled dedication to luxury horology, this volume extols the enduring influence of Swiss watchmaking legend Vacheron Constantin.

Since Jean-Marc Vacheron established the brand in 1755, Vacheron Constantin has pursued a perpetual quest for watchmaking excellence. Its artisans have led the way in innovation, through complex precision movements as well as extraordinary feats of miniaturization—advancements that set the brand apart in the world of high-end timekeeping. Vacheron Constantin’s artistry goes beyond the technical; it embodies a tradition of luxurious craftmanship, transforming each watch into a work of art. The brand’s commitment to heritage and art has led to collaborations with cultural institutions including the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the company’s reverence for history and savoir faire lies at the heart of this volume. Featuring new photography that captures the brand’s artistry in magnificent detail, this book provides exclusive access to Vacheron Constantin’s archives and workshops and offers readers a rare and privileged view of the firm’s legacy.
