Vacheron

Relojes Vacheron Constantin, Los orígenes de los Relojes Vacheron Constantin se remontan hasta 1755, cuando un joven de 24 años llamado Jean-Marc Vacheron se unió al gremio de los relojeros de Ginebra. Cultivado, leído, un respetable miembro de la "intelectualidad" de la época, el joven Jean-Marc pronto adquirió gran reputación en la producción de relojes de alta calidad. La fama de Vacheron se extendió a las Cortes Reales de toda Europa, donde sus creadores impresionaron incluso a los relojeros reales.

Una de las contradicciones más notables de la Alta Relojería es la veneración hacia el trabajo artesanal, la mística del toque humano, en un trabajo que muchas veces es más rentable mediante la producción mecanizada. Irónicamente, esta paradoja explica en parte el renacimiento que el reloj mecánico ha experimentado en las últimas décadas del siglo XX.

En una época de realidad virtual y paradigmas digitales, escuchar el tic-tic-tic del escape, mucho más preciso y fiable que otros movimientos mecánicos complicados, es, de algún modo, reconfortante, y le presta una sensación de confort al ser humano, que es después de todo parte integrante del mundo físico.

Vacheron Constantin was founded by Jean-Marc Vacheron with 1 apprentice, in 1755 when he was just 24 years old. Although the firms of Vacheron and the rival business of Francois Constantin were both in trading by 1785 they did not come into being as the firm we know today until about 1810 when Constantin and Jean-Marc's son, Abraham, and grandson, Jaques-Barthelemy, went into partnership and set up the firm in 1819.

An association with Georges-Auguste Leschot, about 1839 pushed them into the position of a top quality manufacturer from a typical Swiss producer. Leschot designed machinery and invented tools for the manufacture if the lever escapement. He and Vacheron worked together on the production and orders side leaving the business side of the partnership was left to Francois Constantin who traveled the world over.

In 1880 the factory registered the famous Maltese cross trade mark. In 1854 Francois Constantin died and he was succeeded by his nephew, Jean-Francois Constantin but in 1867 he reverted to being an ordinary salesman and he handed over to Cesar Vacheron who died in 1869. Charles Vacheron then took over but died the following year in 1870. Charles's widow – Laure Vacheron-Pernessin then took over along with Catherine-Etiennette Vacheron (the widow of Jaques-Barthelemy Vacheron) and they ran the firm for an astonishing five years. In 1875 Jean-Francois Vacheron was returned to senior management. Catherine- Etiennette Vacheron died aged 101 in 1883 and Laure Vacheron-Pernessin in 1887.

Part of the long history of this company, known for complicated and dress watches, involved producing watches that met stringent requirements for railroad companies.
In 1896 the company name became Vacheron Constantin once more as it is today.
Throughout the early 1900's the company produced many high value wristwatches both simple and complicated, sometimes with cooperation from Le Coultre.

They exported many movements to the United States for local casing, using such firms as Bigelow and Kenard and Co. During the first world war they turned out military pocket watches and compasses In 1936 Charles Constantin became the company president but it could not overcome all Vacheron and Constantin's financial difficulties caused by the second world war. Charles Constantin had to sell the majority shareholding to Georges Ketterer (died 1969) in 1940.

In the next decades the company flourished as a luxury watch assembler and marketer using mainly Le Coultre movements. In 1969 Ketterer's son Jaques who had joined the company in 1955, took over after his father died and when he died in 1987 A. Z. Yamani became the major shareholder. Now owned by Vendome Group
