Les Cabinotiers, the ultimate made-to-measure service

Fulfilling the watchmaking dream of our customers with a concern for absolute satisfaction, that’s the vocation of Les Cabinotiers department. Almost entirely unique in the watchmaking industry, this exclusive service is based on the Maison’s expertise and ability to listen. Extreme complexity or poetic expression of time, anything is possible and everything is implemented to add character to a watch which will eternally reflect the choices of its owner.

The embodiment of the wildest dreams

Secrecy and confidentiality surround the majority of these special requests. Insane, daring and extravagant, these pieces tell more than they show.

Everything starts with a story, one which can be told by its owner. One, a fervent art lover, desires the reproduction of a master painting in Grand Feu enamel on his dial; the other, lover and poet, imagines a sonnerie that would come alive only once a year, on the birthday of his loved one; a third, an expert knowledgeable about great complications, dreams of a mechanical masterpiece which has never before been attempted. Everything is possible, it just needs to be imagined before creating it.

Mutual confidence

Since its founding in 1755, the Maison has maintained privileged relations with its clients and benefits from the expertise of master watchmakers capable of making made-to-measure watches. Listening and constant exchange are the keywords for making each person’s aspirations come true.

A number of anecdotes perfectly illustrate this great tradition. From Tsar Aleander II to the New-York banker Henry Grave Jr., from the automobile manufacturer James Ward Packard to the crowned heads of Fuad I and Farouk of Egypt, all were great collectors of unique pieces created by Vacheron Constantin. Understanding the specific expectations of these prestigious clients and knowing how to translate them into a unique timepiece is an art form that cannot be underestimated.
