A Landmark Moment for Luxury in New Jersey

As the world’s oldest watch manufacture in continuous production since 1755, Vacheron Constantin’s expansion into New Jersey marks a significant milestone—not just for the Maison, but for the region’s growing community of collectors and luxury enthusiasts. The boutique reflects the brand’s long-standing relationship with America, which dates back to 1832.

“We are thrilled to announce the opening of our new Vacheron Constantin boutique at The Mall at Short Hills,” says Alexander Schmiedt. “Recognizing the region’s discerning watch connoisseurs, we are excited to fully share the heritage, craftsmanship, and technical excellence for which Vacheron Constantin is renowned.”

Inside the Boutique: A Fully Immersive Experience

Designed to embody the elegance and precision synonymous with the Maison, the boutique offers far more than a retail experience—it’s a destination for discovery.

A standout feature is the Watchmaking Wall, an interactive installation that highlights the intricate craftsmanship behind each timepiece. Guests can explore the artistry involved in every stage of production, from polishing and chamfering to more than 30 specialized finishing techniques. This installation also underscores the brand’s commitment to the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.

For a more personalized touch, the boutique includes a strap customization bar, allowing clients to tailor their timepieces with a curated selection of materials, colors, and stitching details.

And for those seeking discretion and intimacy, a private VIP lounge offers a refined setting to explore the collections at a more leisurely pace—perfect for serious collectors or first-time buyers looking for guidance.

The boutique houses the complete range of Vacheron Constantin timepieces, from understated elegance to high complications. Signature collections on display include:

Each collection reflects the Maison’s ability to blend heritage with innovation—appealing to both seasoned collectors and a new generation of luxury consumers.

A Historic Legacy with American Roots

Vacheron Constantin’s ties to the United States run deep. From early expansion efforts in the 19th century to its presence on the wrists of cultural icons like Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor, the brand has long held a place in American luxury culture.

Notably, the Maison created timepieces specifically for the U.S. market, including the iconic “American 1921” with its distinctive tilted dial—an enduring symbol of bold design and innovation.
