Vacheron Constantin
The oldest manufacturer of the Holy Trinity, they have been around for over 266 years, since 1755! People wore the timepieces we read about in history books that made history. No other brand can lay a testament to that claim. Known for their sophistication in design and artistry, they are famous for building unusual complications and beautiful timepieces, and their dial work is second to none in the industry.
TMLS Take
Ironically the oldest of the holy trinity, but a brand that only came into the mainstream the past two years with its overseas collection, which has been around for more than 45 years, only getting the recognition it deserves the past two years. They produced the fewest watches out of the Holy Trinity, limited to creating less than 30,000 pieces a year because of the strict guidelines they had to follow to keep their Hallmark of Geneva. Every watch they produce goes through a rigorous inspection by a 3rd party company called the Timelab team, who inspects every watch to ensure each component is made with the utmost care and is finely decorated. To illustrate this quality, Vacheron Constantin provides an 8-year warranty on each registered timepiece with their website. If you’re looking for something with the best of both worlds of Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin would be a great choice.
