The Overseas Tour to perpetuate the spirit of travel
Founded in Geneva in 1755, Vacheron Constantin has consistently cultivated the spirit of travel inherited by one of its founders Francois Constantin. Active on four continents from the 18th century onwards, the Maison quickly sets its sights on far horizons so as to expand its reach.Witnessing its historical archives mentioning the discovery of new unknown places in registers named “Rencontre”.

The casual elegance and practical nature of the new Overseas watches make them an ideal embodiment of this richly facetted spirit, much as a globetrotter forges a perpective constantly honed and enriched by new discoveries.
