Vacheron Constantin celebrated a quarter of a millennium of uninterrupted master watch -making since its inception, as they hosted a gala dinner evoking the 250 years history of the distinctive Swiss watch brand.

Beginning the night's journey at the Burj Al Arab represented the future for Vacheron Constantin and in keeping with the theme of travelling through time, the guests were then whisked off in vintage cars to the dinner. It took place in the centre of the lake on Fort Island in Madinat Jumeirah.

During his speech, the CEO of Vacheron Constantin, Claude Daniel Proellochs introduced the new Brand Director in the Middle East, Mr. Hugues de Pins.
