Vacheron Constantin
Established in 1755, Vacheron Constantin holds the esteemed title of the world's oldest fine watchmaker. In 1790, they earned recognition for inventing the first documented day and date complications. Additionally, Vacheron Constantin pioneered the creation of the initial six-quarter-repeater timepieces, capable of striking both the hours and quarters as desired. A significant turning point occurred in 1839 when Georges Auguste, upon joining the company, standardized watch movements into calibers, revolutionizing the watchmaking industry.
Since 1901, all Vacheron Constantin timepieces bear the prestigious Geneva hallmark, symbolizing adherence to Genevan craftsmanship traditions. Each watch is guaranteed to be enduring, free of errors, and crafted from ethically sourced materials.
The Vacheron Kallista, translating to "most lovely" in Greek, stands as Constantin's most expensive watch, estimated at $11 million. Crafted in 1979, it features 118 emerald-cut diamonds, initially valued at $5 million. The meticulous process of embedding these gems in the watch demanded 6,000 man-hours and spanned over 20 months.
