Introducing New Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon High Jewellery

Vacheron Constantin is a renowned Swiss watch manufacturer with a rich history dating back to 1755 when it was founded by François Constantin, along with Jean-Marc Vacheron in Geneva, Switzerland. The company has the distinction of being the oldest continually active watch manufacturer. In 1977 the brand introduced the iconic “Historiques 222”, commemorating the 222nd anniversary of the Swiss watchmaker. The "222" was a vintage luxury wristwatch that epitomized the aesthetic and technical characteristics of sports watches. This timepiece, with its bold design, has continuously evolved, becoming a symbol of Vacheron Constantin's commitment to excellence.

In 2016, the Overseas collection redefined Vacheron Constantin’s spirit, reflecting a sense of travel and exploration. The Overseas Tourbillon was introduced at SIHH 2019, marking a new addition to the Overseas collection. It comes in a stainless steel case measuring 42.50 mm in diameter with a slim 10.39mm profile.
