In and Around the big gabled inn are 54 revellers. Behind it, pine trees. In the distance, a vilinge.

Do better if you can.

It's always possible.

Thus, tersely and unequivocally, François Constantin laid down a policy for the House of Vacheron & Cons tantin. It was in 1819, sixty-four years after the firm's founding.

Today, Vacheron & Constantin are in their third century, the world's oldest watch manufacturers, By heed- ing a perfectionist's motto, they have thrived where others failed to survive.

The "Automatic Jubilé was directly inspired by the policy of François Constantia, for few believed it possible that so thin a watch can be both self-winding and water- proof.

"It's always possible.....”.

THE "AUTOMATIC JUBILE" IS THE SMARTEST "AUTOMATIC WATERPROOF WATCH IN EXISTENCE" Thin and Elegant.
