Vacheron Constantin Opens First U.S. Boutique in NYC

Timepiece manufacturer Vacheron Constantin is making his families 180-year-old wish come true by opening up its first U.S. boutique today in New York City.  Watches by the brand that was founded in 1831 by Jean-Barthélémy Vacheron have graced the wrists of members of the Rockefeller family, jazz musician Sydney Bechet and Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower, to name a few.  As Vecheron Constantin has always had a strong relationship with the U.S., and especially New York City, it makes sense he would open up the boutique at the historic 720 Madison Avenue building at 64^th street.  Three unique watches that will be showcased at the opening today, July 26^th, include the Historiques American 1921 Boutique New York, the Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Boutique New York, and the Patrimony Traditionnelle Calibre 2755 Boutique New York.

Recently, Vacheron Constantine’s 20-carat gold pocket watch sold at $1.8 million dollars during a Christie’s auction.
