The tourbillon

Abraham-Louis Breguet patented the tourbillon in 1801. The escapement and balance turn in a small cage, usually once a minute, so the pull of gravity in each position is averaged out instead of always acting in one direction. Today it is as much a display of hand finishing as a matter of precision: the cage is visible through the dial.

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.
