Vacheron & Constantin history:
Vacheron & Constantin was founded in 1755 in Geneva by the watchmaker and historian Jean-Marc Vacheron. In 1819, Francois Constantin joined the firm. His main task was to travel to France and Italy to sell the watches. Georges Leschot came to the firm in 1839 to help accomplish the biggest challenge of the time, the mechanical manufacture of watch parts. In 1880 the firm adopted the Cross of Malta as their emblem. In this period, they were pioneers in the development of the watch bracelet. Today they remain innovators, creating high-quality pieces with all the most complicated mechanisms such as chronographs, repetitions, and calendars.
