Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes De Vache Chronograph

The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.

Far less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest haute horlogerie complications in history — and some of the loveliest. From simple, time-only dress watches to complicated masterpieces, Vacheron’s wares are legendary. 

This particular timepiece, a Historique Cornes de Vache, is a tribute to the Reference 6087, Vacheron’s first water-resistant chronograph — its famed “cow horn” lugs inspired the shape of the modern watch. Dating to 2021, it features a versatile 38.5mm stainless steel case, a Maltese signed crown, and a sapphire crystal. Graced with a handsome, multi-toned silver dial, it features an outer tachymeter scale, a stainless handset with a blued steel seconds hand, and a dual-register chronograph layout. Powered by the hand-cranking Vacheron Calibre 1142 with 48 hours of power reserve, it comes paired to a brown leather strap with a Maltese Cross signed pin buckle. 

In outstanding lightly-worn condition throughout, this piece is accompanied by all its goodies!

This is one of the world’s finest modern chronographs. Why settle for anything less?

Few manufactures can claim a lineage as long or as rich as Vacheron Constantin. Established in 1755, the manufacture soon made a reputation for the elegance of its products, by making pocket watches with complicated movements and engine-turned dials. Even today, these are marks of a manufacturer’s expertise, due to the skill and precision involved in crafting them, so for Vacheron Constantin to have achieved this in the eighteenth century is quite an impressive feat.

This expertise carried them through the 19th century, earning gold medals at National Exhibitions and blazing trails in the area of anti-magnetic timepieces. The 20th century saw further achievements, such as the opening of its boutique on the Quai de L’Ile in Geneva, where it still resides today. Even through the Depression and the Second World War, when many watch companies were forced to band together with competitors or else face closure, the manufacture continued to thrive—as it does to this day.
