Vacheron Constantin History
Vacheron Constantin replica watches have joined a rich history of a famous watch-making company.
In the roughly five hundred year history of watchmaking there have been many great names, many notable horologers,
many families which passed the skills of this fine art from father to son. But for the greatest innovators and inventors,
most are forgotten to us. Their visions, their traditions, remembered only in those precious artifacts from the golden age of
watchmaking which have been passed down to us over the centuries. Yet there are a few names, depending upon whom you argue with,
still young in the ages of horology, which have descended to us from the anciene regime of the 18th century.
Arguably the greatest of these is the House of Vacheron & Constantin, whose lineage extends unbroken to the Genevan cabinotier Jean-Marc Vacheron (1731-1805).
While his younger contemporary Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823) was undoubtedly the greater horologer and celebrity, the watchmaking House of Breguet which
survived him never rivaled the house that the Vacherons built.
In this ostensibly traditional art of mechanical watchmaking, we instinctively feel that heritage,
an ancient heritage (that trails off into a vast aeon before the rise of quartz), is one of the things that authenticates an inherently anachronistic product. When a watch bears the
name of and old (and probably extinct) watchmaking family, we expect that this watch represents the watchmaking values and aesthetic sensibilities of their long tradition - their soul
if you will. For those of a senior generation, and for those of us who have inherited their memory and sentiment, there yet remains the lingering phantom of the horological kingship of
Vacheron & Constantin. But for most who partake in today's feast of mechanical revivalism Vacheron Constantin is little thought of, and thought little of. |
