Founded in Geneva in 1755, the Maison Vacheron Constantin is the world's oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer. For more than 260 years, each timepiece embodies the quest for excellence and the values cherished by Vacheron Constantin, the loyal custodian of unique technical expertise and creativity.
Most Vacheron Constantin watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually Vacheron Constantin's self-winding movements need to rotate 650 to 950 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Vacheron Constantin winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winder box and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
