Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin is the world's oldest fine watchmaker, having been founded in 1755. They are credited with inventing the first known day and date problems in 1790. They also created the first six quarter-repeater timepieces, which may strike both the hours and quarters if desired. When Georges Auguste joined the firm in 1839, he was able to standardize watch movements into calibers, which revolutionized the watchmaking industry.

Since 1901, Vacheron Constantin's timepieces have carried the Geneva hallmark, indicating that they adhere to Genevan craftsmanship traditions. All of their timepieces are guaranteed to be long-lasting, error-free, and built from ethically sourced materials.

Vacheron Kallista, Greek meaning "most lovely," is Constantin's most costly watch, believed to be worth $11 million. 118 emerald cut diamonds fill the whole timepiece, which cost $5 million when it was first created in 1979. Encrusting the gems in this watch took 6,000 man-hours and 20 months.
