Vacheron Constantin (VC) celebrates the Holy month of Ramadan by honouring four amazing regional artists – Aljoud Lootah, Adi Al Fardan, Nouf AlMoneef, and Fatima AlBlooshi. VC further celebrates Ramadan by hosting “cultural gatherings and craftsmanship workshops” at ‘The Quest: 270 years of seeking excellence,’ exhibition in Abu Dhabi, held from 21 February until 15 April 2025.
Founded in Geneva in 1755, VC is the oldest continuous watchmaker in existence, and celebrates its 270th anniversary this year. Together with Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, it is part of the Holy Trinity. VC is part of the Richemont Group.
“At Vacheron Constantin, our pursuit is driven by passion, creativity, and human connection. Celebrating 270 years of watchmaking excellence, we view Ramadan as a time for reflection and sharing meaningful moments with our community. The journeys of these remarkable talents pay tribute to the craftsmanship, heritage, and innovative spirit that have defined our Maison for centuries.” – Christophe Ramel, Managing Director, Vacheron Constantin Middle East

Our Thoughts
VC is among the most global watch brands and must cater to local sensibilities. Honouring Aljoud Lootah, Adi Al Fardan, Nouf AlMoneef, and Fatima AlBlooshi, and further celebrating Ramadan at The Quest exhibition highlights VC’s immense respect for the Middle East region and local culture.
2025 is an important and exciting year for VC as it celebrates a milestone 270th anniversary.
