A cultural partnership through the lens of public education

The collaboration between Vacheron Constantin and The Palace Museum is a tribute to centuries of artistry, culture, and craftsmanship. The Palace Museum, housed in Beijing’s Forbidden City, safeguards one of the world’s most treasured collections of imperial art, calligraphy, and timepieces.

With its dedication to excellence and heritage, Vacheron Constantin shares a profound connection with this prestigious institution, where tradition meets innovation, and history is honoured through meticulous craftsmanship.

For centuries, the Forbidden City has been a symbol of imperial grandeur, preserving masterpieces that reflect China’s artistic and cultural legacy. The Palace Museum’s exceptional collection of historical timepieces, many crafted by master watchmakers for the Qing Dynasty, serves as a testament to the deep-rooted connection between Eastern and Western horology. Inspired by this rich heritage, Vacheron Constantin continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking, combining traditional savoir-faire with artistic excellence. This partnership celebrates the shared pursuit of beauty, precision, and the timeless art of measuring time.
