Which is the oldest luxury watch brand?
1 Answer

Vacheron Constantin is the oldest luxury watchmaker that is still in operation and has operated continuously since its establishment. The company was founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron, the son of a master weaver in Geneva, who instilled in his children his belief that working with one’s hands is a noble endeavor. Vintage Vacheron Constantin watches continue to charm and captivate collectors, and the manufacturer’s Maltese cross logo, adopted in 1877, is instantly recognizable as an emblem of luxurious design and enduring quality.
