Heritage Pieces Bearing Names Like "Devil" and "Chocolate"



Founded in 1755, Vacheron Constantin is the world's oldest continuously operating luxury watch manufacturer. This autumn, an event offering a chance to appreciate the historical legacy passed down through over 260 years of history will be held for a limited time.

This third iteration of the exhibition will feature over 20 pocket watches and wristwatches from the 1920s to the late 1960s. Notable items include a pocket chronograph with a pulsometer made in 1928, and an elegant ladies' watch from 1962 with a combination of a Clous de Paris hobnail guilloché bezel and a silver dial. These pieces will also be available for purchase.

Meanwhile, the Nickname Piece Exhibition, which has traveled to boutiques worldwide—Geneva in January, Paris in June, and now Japan—does not offer its exhibited items for sale, but it showcases exceptionally rare pieces. Rare models crafted between 1917 and 1964 have been given nicknames inspired by their case designs or decorations, such as "Devil," "Chocolate," and "Cow." Visitors can also enjoy accompanying sketch art displayed alongside the watches.

This is a special opportunity to view, admire, and purchase historic timepieces. We invite you to experience firsthand the heritage pieces cultivated through the Maison's long history.
