Vacheron Constantin’s tradition as a producer of women’s watches started with the 19th century, when the first watches made for women appeared.
Although smaller than men’s watches they were much more lavishly decorated and thus demanded skills in miniaturisation and decoration that only a few of the watchmakers of the time possessed. Vacheron Constantin was one of them. One of the first of the manufacture’s women’s watches was a quarter-repeater produced in around 1810 and which proves that watchmaking complications were not only for men.
The Patrimony collection in a celebration of the woman’s watch
- Feminine creations vitalise the Patrimony Contemporaine and Patrimony Traditionnelle lines.
- An exceptional tribute to fine jewellery, with a dial set entirely in baguette diamonds, demonstrates the brand’s mastery of the art.
- These new watches are all stamped with the Hallmark of Geneva.
The Patrimony collection is custodian to the true horological tradition and is thus part of Vacheron Constantin’s genetic make-up. The unvaryingly round cases express the enduring classic style in a renewed testimony to the Vacheron Constantin’s heritage. The innate elegance of these timepieces is distilled from centuries of expertise, today with the investiture of the Geneva hallmark. While the Patrimony Contemporaine watches embrace the present, the Patrimony Traditionnelle models lay claim, as their name suggests, to a classic style in keeping with watchmaking’s historical legacy. Finally, the Patrimony High Jewellery timepiece is a reminder that the craftsmen of fine watchmaking can unite their talents with the most skilful jewellers.
