How Vacheron Constantin Keeps Innovating After 270 Years

If you asked the Hodinkee team, and frankly most professional watch pundits or historians, who is having the best 2025 from a watchmaking perspective, I think it's fair to say that most would reply Vacheron Constantin. VC began the year by giving the people exactly what they wanted with a stainless steel version of the 222. Nothing revolutionary, certainly, but a beautifully designed and perfectly executed steel watch that can be worn daily. It was a runaway hit, and exactly what collectors and the community had been asking for. In this casual conversation, we run through some of my very favorite watches made by anyone - including some of the most spectacular and complicated watches of the 20th century up through today. The conversation is rounded out with mention of Vacheron's final release of the year, a trio of Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thins, which put the cherry on top of a monumental 270th year for the maison.
