Partners
Preserving and celebrating art and knowledge
The new partnership between Vacheron Constantin and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), a leading art museum founded in 1870, is based on an unwavering commitment to safeguarding and passing on knowledge and expertise.
Through this alliance, the Maison demonstrates its profound attachment to the world of art and culture that has consistently nurtured its imagination and its creativity - as will be vividly showcased in future educational initiatives developed within the framework of this partnership.
Like Vacheron Constantin, The Met is also involved in a number of educational programs, reflecting both partners’ desire to encourage and support individuals in their projects by surrounding them with experienced mentors. This emphasis on artistic and cultural heritage is intended to encourage the sharing of knowledge in the pursuit of excellence.

Vacheron Constantin, in partnership with The Met, launched the Artisan Residency programme
Designed to support craft skills, encourage the evolution of traditional savoir-faire into new forms of expression and nurture the next generation of artisans, the Artisan Residency programme underlines both institutions' longstanding commitment to supporting art and culture.
Three artisans have been chosen for the inaugural 18-month residency. As a part of their residency, the three artisans will travel to New York to engage with The Met collection, staff, and will also spend time in Geneva, Switzerland, learning about the artistic processes and practices of Vacheron Constantin's master artisans. The programme will culminate in October 2026, when the artisans will return to New York to present their work at The Met.
