The chronograph

A chronograph is a stopwatch built into the watch. On most models one pusher starts and stops it and another sets it back to zero, while the time of day runs on regardless. The counters on the dial add up the elapsed minutes and, on many models, the hours.

III · The manufacture

Vacheron Constantin since 1755

Jean-Marc Vacheron’s Geneva workshop took on an apprentice in 1755, the house’s founding date. François Constantin joined Jacques-Barthélémy Vacheron in 1819, creating the name used today. Georges Auguste Leschot adapted the pantograph to standardise movement-part production in 1839. The Maltese cross became the brand’s emblem in 1880, taking its form from a movement component. The first dedicated boutique opened in central Geneva in 1906. Vendôme acquired Vacheron Constantin in December 1996. A new manufacture at Plan-les-Ouates brought its Genevan production into new premises in 2004. Today the house belongs to Richemont, with watchmaking rooted in Geneva and the Vallée de Joux.

IV · Ownership

Wearing and caring

  1. 1

    An automatic watch winds itself while worn. Left off the wrist for a couple of days it stops: wind it with the crown, then set the time and the date.

  2. 2

    Water resistance of 100 m and more is for swimming. Keep the crown screwed or pushed in, and do not use the pushers under water.

  3. 3

    Have the movement serviced every few years by the brand's own service or an authorised watchmaker.
