Today a watch is easily soiled Vacheron Constantin often compare to the cars of Rolls Royce - implying exclusive, costliness and exceptional reliability. History of brand began in the middle of XVIII age in Geneva, when the young man of 24 years by name Jean-Mark Vasheron decided to open the own sentinel workshop. So House which after two with a half ages will become one of known in the world of the High sentinel art appeared.«Kabinot'e» (so in those years named sentinel masters, workings not on factories, but on itself) Jean-Mark collected only for two dozen clock-works in a year, but orders grew, all new prominent customers appeared, and gradually he attached sons to the business - senior Lui-andre and junior - Ibragima.Already soon among the permanent clients of house of Vacheron was weigh the French emperor's court, including Napoleon and him both wives (Josephine and Maria-Louisa), and the self name Genevan sentinel of workshop became character of refinement and riches. The Napoleon's blockade, barriering England from a mainland, helped not only Vasheron and his sons but also to open all of the Genevan watch-makers for the products new markets.Appearance easily soiled in its present kind took a place a bit later, in 1810, when the grandchild of Jean-Mark Vasheron became at the head of company - Zhak-bartelemi.

And today a complete cycle to take the liberty not many sentinel factories can. Uniqueness of watch Vacheron Constantin for that time consisted in that, in spite of complete production cycle (which would result in falling of quality of watch), they remained high-fidelity and progressive. Their progressiveness consisted of that the watch of Vacheron Constantin was made so popular in XIX age complications (complication) which entered in the fashion of Brege.
