Vacheron Constantin（江詩丹頓）

In the middle of the 18th Century, in the city of Geneva, a young man called Jean-Marc Vacheron decided to open his own watch-making workshop. This exceptional craftsman founded a business that was to become, two and a half centuries later, one of the most renowned in the science of time.

15 years after its foundation, Vacheron Constantin creates its first 'complication' watches.

The grandson of Jean-Marc Vacheron, Jaques-Barthelemy, takes the head of the family business and initiates the brand's first exports to France and Italy.

Jaques-Barthelemy, grandson of Jean-Marc Vacheron together with Francois Constantin creates the company name "Vacheron et Constantin".

In this year on 5th July, Francois Constantin sends from Turin a letter to Jaques Barthelemy Vacheron containing the words that were to become the company motto:
"Do better if possible and that is always possible".
