‘‘

DO BETTER IF POSSIBLE, AND THAT IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE.

Founded in 1755, Vacheron Constantin is the world’s oldest Manufacture with uninterrupted activity for over 260 years. Bequeathed to posterity, François Constantin’s words from July 5th 1819 clearly reveal the‘‘ spirit that drives the Maison: “Do better if possible, and that is always possible.”

5

Over the centuries, skilfully combining tradition and innovation, the Maison Vacheron Constantin has nurtured its vocation for La Belle Haute Horlogerie (Beautiful High Watchmaking) by combining technical developments, aesthetic mastery, artistic prowess and human destinies in shaping its vision of time as well as its love of work well done and of manual craftsmanship.

A true encyclopaedia of art, science and culture since its creation, Vacheron Constantin has been committed to enhancing the , a precious object characterised by technical excellence.

Endowed with a rich heritage based on the transmission of Haute Horlogerie, combined with stylistic research undertaken by generations of Master craftsmen, Vacheron Constantin’s creations illustrate the high demands, relentless innovation and aesthetic finesse that have become the signatures of the Maison, like the Maltese cross. Chosen as the emblem of the Manufacture in 1880, the latter echoes the eponymous watch component which was inseparable from movements at the time and ensured ’ precision and longevity, two values expressing the continuity of Vacheron Constantin watches.

Hailed by a clientele of initiated amateurs and connoisseurs, Vacheron Constantin watches reflect the sophistication, exclusivity and sobriety of these wearers and collectors.

TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE & ARTISTIC CRAFTS

The Vacheron Constantin Manufacture has forged its destiny through a quest for excellence and by highlighting traditional crafts that have been magnified through watchmaking history. To this end, the Manufacture draws on its heritage in order to perpetuate and enrich the know-how acquired in the course of its uninterrupted activity.

9

Guided by this spirit of creativity and innovation, Vacheron Constantin continues to cultivate simplicity and balance as applied to the most complex creations. Today as always, this approach remains the hallmark of artistic mastery.

Pure, refined designs are at the very core of the Maison’s stylistic challenges and its historical identity. Promoting the techniques of ancestral decorative arts with unique expertise in associating different crafts – such as gemsetting, engraving, guilloché work and enamelling – is one of the cardinal virtues of the Maison.

Thanks to its mastery of watchmaking sciences and techniques, Vacheron Constantin continues to feature both traditional complications and original functions, taking on perpetually renewed challenges. This philosophy enabled the Manufacture, after eight years of development, to create the Reference 57260 watch, the most complicated timepiece in the world.

As various complications emerge – from ultra-thin calibres to striking movements – the making of the resulting watches calls for flawless dexterity and tireless concentration. Each of the delicate finishing operations specific to ’s Haute Horlogerie tradition, such as mirror polishing, bevelling, circular graining or Côtes de Genève, is still done by hand at Vacheron Constantin.

11

LES CABINOTIERS Bringing the wildest dreams to life.

Since the 18th century, Vacheron Constantin has perpetuated the tradition of the “cabinotiers’’, the name given to the prestigious and cultivated who plied their craft in workshops bathed in light, called “cabinets”, located on the top floors of Geneva buildings. The expertise of these accomplished masters was backed by vast scientific knowledge and a curiosity for new ideas, nurtured by the philosophy of the Enlightenment. Their deft hands gave rise to exceptional timepieces of rare technical and aesthetic complexity, inspired by astronomy, science and art.

Vacheron Constantin continues to meet these major technical and creative challenges within its Les Cabinotiers department. There, unique creations are crafted, offered to customers and collectors, along with bespoke watches specifically ordered by such connoisseurs. Engineers, designers, watchmakers and Master craftsmen combine their imagination, expertise and passion in bringing this extremely refined watchmaking excellence to life.

CALIBRES & COMPLICATIONS

Vacheron Constantin brilliantly combines traditional horological complications with highly technical and unprecedented functions, constantly rising to new mechanical challenges. Resulting from exceptional mastery of mechanical horology, along with rigorous precision and perfectly mastered development, the calibres bearing the Vacheron Constantin signature exalt the full range of the watchmaking art.

The Hallmark of Geneva is one of the oldest, most prestigious and most demanding Haute Horlogerie certifications. Honouring exceptional watches designed and assembled in Geneva, it is awarded by an official body according to stringent criteria relating to movement components as well as to the performance of the watch. A true label of quality, this seal is a guarantee of provenance, durability, precision, expertise and craftsmanship. Since 1901, Vacheron Constantin has been the most faithful representative of the Hallmark of Geneva. This quest for excellence makes the Manufacture one of the finest ambassadors of the grand Geneva watchmaking tradition. The Hallmark of Geneva is particularly distinguished by its extremely demanding criteria with regard to watch finishes. Plates and bridges, regulating system, gears and springs: nothing is left to chance in enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the movement, and ensuring that the meticulous treatments applied in no way detract from its inherent qualities.
