Vacheron Constantin – Les Cabinotiers: Create your dream timepiece
Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers is a department dedicated to the personalization of Grand Complication models and single-piece editions. The tradition dates back to the 18th century, when master-watchmakers were called “cabinotiers” and worked in ateliers bathed in natural light, known as cabinets and located on the top floors of Geneva’s buildings. In the hands of these learned artisans, exceptional timepieces were born, inspired by astronomy, mechanical engineering and the arts. This expertise, which constitutes the great Geneva watchmaking tradition, has been flowing through Vacheron Constantin’s veins since 1755. Les Cabinotiers’s craftsmen, gemsetters and guilloché specialists bring your unique ideas to life. Each timepiece is tinged with a touch of boldness revealed in the small details. Special displays, offset indications… READ MORE Share your experience with #VacheronConstantin
