17th of September 1755. In the offices of the solicitor Mr. Choisy, a young<br />
Master Watchmaker from Geneva named Jean-Marc Vacheron is about<br />
to hire his first apprentice. This agreement is the first known reference<br />
to the founding watchmaker of a prestigious dynasty and it represents<br />
the establishment of Vacheron Constantin, the oldest watchmaking<br />
manufacturer in the world in continuous operation.<br />
Ever since this agreement, and true to the history that built<br />
its reputation, Vacheron Constantin has been committed<br />
to passing on its knowledge to each of its Master<br />
Watchmakers in order to guarantee the excellence and<br />
durability of its craftsmanship and of its timepieces.<br />
