The Vacheron Chronograph Made for the US Corps of Engineers for Use in World War I: Built for the Rigors of War



"Due to the Corps’ requirement for a robust and accurate chronograph to be used during various activities, the head of the U.S. Expeditionary Force in Bern requested that Vacheron Constantin produce a prototype for field use. The watch was to have a silver case, a white dial with luminous Arabic numerals and hands, and a simple chronograph movement without counter. Vacheron Constantin produced two prototypes that were delivered on May 8, 1918; an order for 5,000 pieces was placed that same day. The original order was to be delivered in lots of 100 watches per month, 150-200 whenever possible. From July 1918 through late 1919, a total of 3,289 watches were delivered, and the contract was deemed to have been met. Vacheron Constantin archives indicate that the firm also made wristwatches with silver cases and gold buckles for the Corps of Engineers."
