Vacheron Constantin

Singular and timeless expertise Within the Maison, a team of watchmakers is devoted to restoration and committed to perpetuating know-how that dates back as far as several decades or even two centuries. Their art consists of maintaining the functional and aesthetic aspects of the watch as close as possible to its original condition by keeping its original parts whenever they can. Whether broken, worn, or corroded, these parts are adapted or manufactured identically, under the traditions and standards of the brand. 🎬 Discover how these craftsmen restore our dials.

A quest for heritage preservation ⏳ Few Manufactures can restore all the watches that have come out of their workshops over the centuries. That is why Vacheron Constantin makes it a point of honour to pass on this watchmaking know-how and to ensure that the great history of each of its timepieces continues. In no way comparable to a standard service, restoration requires rigorous know-how, a thorough knowledge of the history of the Maison, and sometimes even specific tools. Given the age of the timepiece, it is not uncommon for a craftsman or master watchmaker to handcraft some of the components that need to be replaced. 🎬 Discover how these craftsmen restore our calibers.

The Master Enameller, The Artisan of Colour 🎨🖌️ For 4,000 years, the Art of enamelling has continued to embellish a wide variety of decorative objects. This technique requires consummate manual mastery as well as great experience of the basic materials – enamels and their composition – as well as the art of fire. Enamel is in fact a composite melting material, made from different minerals to which metallic oxides are added to obtain colour. It is generally used in the form of a powder which, in Haute Horlogerie, is applied to a metal base (copper, silver or gold) in thin layers successively fired in a kiln.

The Engraver: Artisan of Form 📐 “It's this embodiment in the object that the customer expects, this beautiful imperfection, this play on textures that takes so much time”, explains the master engraver at Vacheron Constantin. In exercising this almost living art that requires mastery, Vacheron Constantin's engraving artisans make their own tools, shaped to their own specifications so as to never cease innovating. In the art of engraving, the hand acquires a finer touch over time. Over the years, a balance is created enabling increased sensitivity to the material. The lines become stronger from generation to generation, evolving almost imperceptibly. At Vacheron Constantin, artisans have always enjoyed great freedom of interpretation. Engravers work on volumes and depths, without a plan. By dint of experience, they develop a form of intuition to become authentic sculptors of time.

Overall harmony, and natural elegance.  A different approach to Haute Horlogerie.

"Since its birth, the Manufacture has endeavoured to follow the principles of this philosophy, which is simple to enunciate yet complex to implement: a Vacheron Constantin watch cannot be technical without being precious." - Louis Ferla, CEO of the Maison.
