Vacheron Constantin Overseas: A review of the design, features, and movement of this Ultra-Thin Skeleton watch.

Yes. Founded in 1755, Vacheron Constantin is esteemed for meticulous hand-finishing, long-standing technical innovation, and consistent design language. Collectors often consider it part of Swiss watchmaking's "Holy Trinity."
Counterfeits frequently reveal themselves through poor finishing, incorrect fonts or hallmarks, mismatched movement and reference numbers, and subpar case or bracelet quality. Because not all genuine Vacheron Constantin movements carry the same hallmarks and finishing cues, the most reliable route is professional authentication and a documented service history from a trusted dealer.
