The first known watch by Jean-Marc Vacheron – 1755
The pride and joy of Vacheron Constantin’s heritage, this silver piece bearing the “J.M. Vacheron à Geneve” signature on its movement is the only watch known that identifies the founder of the Maison by his first name. Featuring a crown-wheel escapement, this watch is decorated with "delicately chased gold hands". The finely worked balance-cock on the most visible part of the movement is also evidence of an expertise that was already perfectly mastered. These high technical and aesthetic standards would go on to become a part of the Vacheron Constantin identity.
