Roaring twenties Icon

Where the past shapes
what comes next


All Ways Possible

A legacy in motion

Since 1755, exploration has been embedded in Vacheron Constantin’s identity. At Watches and Wonders 2026, the Maison reaffirms this spirit by revisiting its own history, not as a static archive, but as a living source of inspiration. 

Exploration sometimes means looking inward.


Reinventing a Signature

Continuity through evolution

Vacheron Constantin continues the legacy of its Roaring Twenties icon with two new Historiques American 1921 models featuring a new dial aesthetic, offered in 36.5 mm and 40 mm cases of 18K 5N pink gold. Rather than revisiting the past, the Maison continues a dialogue across decades, demonstrating that true icons do not repeat themselves; they evolve.

Defying Convention

A radical geometry

At a time when watchmaking largely adhered to classical symmetry, the American 1921 embraced asymmetry and unconventional design. Designed for drivers, its angled dial allowed time to be read without turning the wrist, a functional innovation expressed through a striking architectural composition.

Exploration, even then, meant rethinking perspective.
