Vacheron Constantin built the Égérie, French for muse, for women in 2020 instead of shrinking a men’s model. Vacheron gave it a newly developed automatic movement, the calibre 1088, and set the date or the moon phase off center. Its dials show the house’s crafts, with hand guilloché, a moonstone cabochon, and mother-of-pearl, and Vacheron offers diamond-set versions alongside.

Jean-Marc Vacheron took on his first apprentice in Geneva in 1755, and the company has made watches without a break ever since, longer than any other. François Constantin joined as a partner in 1819. Around 1839 the company hired Georges-Auguste Leschot, whose pantograph and other machines made interchangeable parts and helped start industrial watchmaking.
Richemont bought Vacheron Constantin in 1996. In 2015 the company finished the Reference 57260, a pocket watch with 57 complications, then the most complicated watch ever made. It broke that record in 2024 with the Berkley Grand Complication, which has 63 complications.
