270 YEARS UNSTOPPABLE: VACHERON CONSTANTIN CELEBRATES WITH THE HISTORIQUES 222 IN STAINLESS STEEL.

270 Years of Vacheron Constantin: A history distinguished by innovations and creativity.

In the 18th century, amidst Geneva’s thriving watchmaking industry, Vacheron Constantin was born, laying the foundation for a remarkable journey driven by generations of passion and perseverance.

Over 270 years, the exchange of knowledge has been the cornerstone of the Maison’s success. Vacheron Constantin’s enduring legacy lies in its unique approach to watchmaking—an artful balance of technical mastery and artistic sensibility, mechanical complexity and craftsmanship, innovation and elegance.

From the first calendar timepiece recorded in the  Manufacture’s archives in 1790 to the 2024 Les Cabinotiers The Berkley Grand Complication watch equipped with 63 complications, the Manufacture has explored many fields  of technical expression: chiming watches, mechanisms for  measuring short intervals of time, astronomical functions,  special displays and tourbillon regulators.

As 2025 unfolds, the Maison celebrates an extraordinary human adventure spanning centuries, embodying its deep commitment to knowledge transfer and the pursuit of beauty in its highest forms of horological artistry.

Marking 270 years of passion, perseverance, and pursuit of excellence in watchmaking, Vacheron Constantin presents a special tribute: the Historiques 222 watch crafted in stainless steel. Initially unveiled in 1977 to commemorate the Maison’s 222nd anniversary, this year sees a new edition, dubbed “Jumbo” by collectors, featuring a blue dial encased in a 37mm steel case.

This new edition enhances technical advancements, redesigning bracelet links to conceal visible pins and improving wearer comfort. The caseback, bearing a signature marking the Maison’s 270th anniversary, features transparent sapphire glass, revealing the Caliber 2455/2 crafted within the Maison’s workshops.

With the date window relocated to the center, maintaining the distinctive design and classical allure of the original model, the 2025 steel edition emerges with a thoroughly contemporary design, embodying the Maison’s core values of sophisticated elegance, effortless comfort, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
