Vacheron Constantin has announced its 2026 regional roadshow, “Explore All Ways Possible”, an immersive exhibition exploring the Maison’s history of geographical, cultural and technical exploration.
The exhibition begins in Dubai in September 2026 before travelling to Saudi Arabia in December.
The roadshow draws on Vacheron Constantin’s more than 270 years of continuous watchmaking history, tracing the Maison’s expansion beyond Switzerland and its longstanding engagement with different cultures, artistic traditions and technical developments.
The exhibition is structured around four cardinal directions, with each representing a distinct universe and watchmaking language. The North focuses on movement, water and navigation, represented by pieces including the Overseas collection. The South explores heritage and civilisation through artistic traditions and historical craftsmanship, while the East examines challenge and resilience through decorative influences from distant cultures. The West addresses vision and modernity, including the Historiques American 1921.
For its Middle East presentation, a fifth universe has been created specifically for Dubai and Saudi Arabia in collaboration with Emirati illustrator and visual designer Mariam Abbas. Her illustration combines elements including Arabian flora, dunes, a date palm, a hoopoe bird, wind towers and contemporary skyscrapers, bringing together references to regional heritage, nature and the future. Tasmeem Tashkeel translated the artwork into a physical installation through its in-house art, design and production teams.
The exhibition also examines the technical development of Vacheron Constantin, including its work in chronometry, miniaturisation and mechanical innovation. Historical examples include the Jalousie watches of the 1930s, pocket watches with shutters designed for travel and the Chronomètre Royal, introduced in 1907.
Among the contemporary timepieces presented are the Overseas Self-Winding Ultra-Thin, equipped with the 2.4mm-thick Calibre 2550 and an 80-hour power reserve, and the Égérie Moon Phase “Spring Blossom”, featuring a pink mother-of-pearl dial and hand-painted calfskin strap. The selection also includes the single-piece Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Skeleton, the Historiques American 1921 and four titanium Overseas Dual Time “Cardinal Points” references developed with photographer and explorer Cory Richards.
The exhibition is designed as a multi-sensory experience incorporating tactile encounters, curated environments and digital interactions, placing the Maison’s latest creations alongside historical pieces.
