In 2022, Vacheron Constantin reissued their iconic sports watch originally released in 1977. The Historiques 222 is an updated interpretation of the original legendary model in a 37mm yellow gold case and bracelet with an updated modern movement. Its timeless design has an undeniable vintage charm that will continue to be an elegant, sophisticated timepiece for generations to come.
The oldest continuously active watch manufacture that is still in operation, the brand has had a long, uninterrupted history in watchmaking since its establishment in 1755. Built by Swiss watchmaker Jean-Marc Vacheron, the brand is one of the few manufactures to employ artisans including gem-setters, enamel painters and hand engravers in-house. Through the centuries, the brand has produced watches for a number of luminaries including several European and Asian royal families, writers, world leaders and inventors. In 2015, to commemorate the 260th anniversary of the brand, Vacheron Constantin introduced its most complicated watch, the Reference 57260 pocket watch, weighing 957 grams and consisting of 57 total complications including a grand sonnerie and petit sonnerie, a perpetual Hebraic calendar, the date of Yom Kippur, a three axis-tourbillon, and a split-seconds chronograph. Since 1996, the brand has been incorporated as a subsidiary of the Swiss conglomerate Richemont Group.
