The origins of VACHERON Watches & CONSTANTIN dating back to 1755, when a young 24-year-old named Jean-Marc Vacheron joined the guild of watchmakers in Geneva. Cultivated, read, a respectable member of the “intelligentsia” of the era, the young Jean-Marc soon acquired great reputation in producing high quality watches. Vacheron’s fame spread to the royal courts of Europe, where its creators impressed even the real watchmakers. One of the most striking contradictions of Haute Horlogerie is the reverence toward craft work, the mystique of the human touch, in a job that is often more profitable through mechanized production. Ironically, this paradox partly explains the renaissance that has experienced mechanical clock in the last decades of the twentieth century. In an age of virtual reality and digital paradigms, to hear the tic-tic-tic of the exhaust, much more accurate and reliable than other complicated mechanical movements, is, somehow, comforting, and provides a feeling of comfort to humans which is after all an integral part of the physical world.
