Audemars Piguet

It has taken the best timepieces vendor on earth over 2.5 centuries of efforts, the creation of exceptional haute horlogerie designer watches, and a major auction in 2003 to finally go up to the elevated rank it actually is deserving of. The brand's directors have expressed that despite the fact that we exist in a exclusive world, it is necessary for us to stay humble and to strictly adhere to our ethic an unusual method in a field where cockiness is legion. Indeed, Vacheron Constantin, which has been bought by the Richemont group in The early nineties, enjoys a particular place in contemporary horology: its technical expertise goes hand in hand with its meticulous quest for attractiveness. To this end the manufacturer imbues everything that goes into crafting a wristwatch with the legacy of its heritage. Ethic and beauty are the bywords of the company, whose creation is limited to fewer than 20 000 watches each and every yr. Yes Vacheron Constantin have not turned its back on human workmanship.
To this day every piece is elaborated and finished manually, and over 75 % of the wrist watches to result from the Vacheron Constantin workshop bear the Poincon de Geneva, the mark of the best level of timepiece creating craft. The ultra-thin designer watches fitted with the .04-inch-high caliber VC, created in the Nineteen fifties and 1960's, have grown archetypes of their kind, as have the watches with finely enameled dials in the Metiers Art series. The company supplies a clean, stylish cosmetic in its finishing (including the most minute pieces are actually cautiously decorated with cotes de Geneva).
