17"' of September 1755. In the offices of the solicitor Mr. Choisy, a
young Master Watchmaker from Geneva named Jean-Marc Vacheron
is about to hire his first apprentice. This agreement is the first known
reference to the founding watchmaker of a prestigious dynasty and
it represents the establishment of Vacheron Constantin, the oldest
watchmaking manufacturer in the world in continuous operation.

Ever since this agreement, and true to the history that built
its reputation, Vacheron Constantin has been committed
to passing on its knowledge to each of its Master
Watchmakers in order to guarantee the excellence and
durability of its craftsmanship and of its timepieces.
