A celebration of 260 years: The Vacheron Constantin “Harmony” Collection

Founded in 1755 by the Genevan master-watchmaker Jean-Marc Vacheron, the maison is the world’s oldest watch manufacturer celebrating 260 years of unparalleled excellence. The seven limited edition references of the Harmony collection features a reinvented cushion shape and design inspired by the brand’s first wrist chronographs introduced in 1928. With a square bezel, curved case middle and round watch glass, the collection’s silhouette augments the existing range of timepieces within the Maison’s classic collections.

Alongside the revamped aesthetics, the contemporary timepieces house brand new calibres that are designed, developed and produced in-house. With a special focus on the monopusher chronograph, the first version is furnished with a split-second function comprising of an ultra-thin self-winding movement, the second variation platforms an exceptional tourbillon, and the third model, like the original, is set with a pulsometric scale. Despite the elaborate internal mechanisms—a combination of tradition and cutting-edge technologies, the exterior proves to ensure readability and comfort, whilst carrying an aesthetic that radiates sophisticated simplicity.
