The crazy, unique Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Récits de Voyages
Time+Tide WatchesDec 20, 2023
Of the three brands considered to be the Holy Trinity of Swiss watchmaking, Vacheron Constantin probably receive the least attention. But that’s not necessarily a negative, as their efforts are far more focused on quality, artistry and exploration rather than hype and celebrity endorsements. The Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers collection is made up of approximately 50 watches per year, each one unique and finished to the highest standards possible. This most recent batch is known as Récits de Voyage, or Travel Stories, as they take on evocative decorations from all around the world.
