 | | The oldest watch company in Geneva, Vacheron Constantin also has the singular honor of having produced the single most expensive watch of all time - the "Kallista" (Greek for "the most wonderful") - which is set with over 130 carats of emerald cut diamonds, each with its own GIA certificate. |
 | | Although Vacheron and Constantin suffered through lean times during the Great Depression, the one bright spot was that Charles Constantin became president of the company in 1936, the first time that a Constantin had led the company since the mid- 1850's. |
 | | The prices for these watches are obviously quite high, but for many watch enthusiasts, a Vacheron Constantin represents the ultimate expression of the watchmaker's art - an heirloom to be passed down through the generations and treasured by those lucky enough to own one. |
