Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin is a Swiss luxury watch and clock manufacturer founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron, an independent watchmaker in Geneva, Switzerland. The company has been continuously producing watches since its inception, making it the world's oldest watch manufactory. Vacheron Constantin produced high-quality custom-made pocket watches for nobles and kings, including Louis XIV, Czar Alexander II, and the Maharajah of Patiala. François Constantin joined Vacheron's descendants and opened shops in Europe and the USA under the motto "Faire mieux si possible, ce qui est toujours possible" ("Do better if possible and that is always possible"). The company has been renamed Vacheron & Constantin. The company's motto remains the same to this day.

Louis XIV died in 1715, I think should be Louis XVI.
