Vacheron Constantin Hosts Heritage Watch Exhibition in London

Vacheron Constantin officially opened its heritage exhibition, 'Explore All Ways Possible,' in London on July 20, 2026, with the event running until August 1, 2026. This retrospective exhibition honors the brand's long history of global openness, artistic curiosity, and cultural discovery since its founding in 1755. The exhibition is inspired by the early 19th-century trade voyages of François Constantin and traces Vacheron Constantin's journey across geographical, cultural, and technical frontiers, illustrating how interactions with different regions have continuously advanced the decorative arts.

The exhibition is organized into three thematic sections: geographical exploration, cultural exploration, and technical exploration. The geographical section features pieces like the robust Overseas models and Art Deco watches influenced by Far Eastern motifs. Cultural exploration highlights Métiers d’Art creations inspired by Japanese lacquerware and haute couture. Technical exploration showcases innovations such as shuttered travel watches and the precision-focused Chronomètre Royal. These watches collectively demonstrate how diverse cultures and technical challenges have shaped Vacheron Constantin's aesthetic and horological expertise.

Key highlights on display include the 1907 Chronomètre Royal, an ultra-thin skeleton pocket watch from 1978 featuring a mother-of-pearl dial, and the American 1921, a cushion-shaped wristwatch that symbolizes the Roaring Twenties. Additionally, unusual 1930s "Jalousie" wristwatch models are presented, notable for their mechanical shutters designed to protect the watch crystal during travel. The exhibition is located at Vacheron Constantin Bond Street, 37 Old Bond St, London W1S 4AB, United Kingdom.
