Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin was originally established in 1735 by Genevois watchmaker Jean-Marc Vacheron. It was the very first watch company in Geneva. Jean-Marc's great-grandson joined forces with the flamboyant salesman, Francois Constantin, in 1819.

The Vacheron Constantin watch holds the record for the single most expensive watch of all time, the "Kallista." It is set with over 130 carats of certified emerald cut diamonds. Its original selling price was over $5 million, and today, at auction it is worth at least twice as much.

Vacheron Constantin officially took possession of a new factory in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, in September of 2004. Vacheron Constantin plans to remain part of watch history for a long time to come.

Warranty

Vacheron Constantin warrants all watches to the original purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship, under normal use, for two years from date of purchase.
