Jean-Marc Vacheron started his own workshop in 1755. Cultivated by generations of gifted watchmakers, the brand is not only one of the oldest in the world but also one of the most prestigious. In 1819, Vacheron joined forces with Francois Constantin and re-named the company Vacheron & Constantin. Ever since the first timepiece produced in 1755, Vacheron Constantin has manufactured numerous elite and rare timepieces for famous collectors including Henry Graves Jr. and James Ward Packard.
From fine custom-made pocket watches to contemporary wristwatches with grand complications, from enamel on engine-turned dial to jewelry pieces pavé-set with precious stones, these timepieces reflect Vacheron Constantin's ongoing commitment to set new trends while still delivering technical excellence and is reflected throughout their history of legendary models.
The present eclectic selection of fine timepieces display Vacheron Constantin's determination to constantly offer variety and style combined with exclusivity. Christie's is delighted to present this fine group of Vacheron Constantin timepieces to auction.
