Embodying a fascinating blend of aesthetic restraint and distinctive personality, the Malte collection by Vacheron Constantin interprets its iconic tonneau shape through a range of contemporary variations. Two news models enriches the collection: a tourbillon with a slate-colored dial that we presented a couple of days ago and a ladies’ watch.
Femininity and refinement are the keynotes of the new Malte small model combining the purity of white mother-of-pearl with a vibrant fuchsia-coloured strap. This Hallmark of Geneva certified mechanical manual-winding watch flaunts a pared-down style, housed in an 18K 5N pink gold tonneau-shaped case with smoothly balanced lines. The slightly domed mother-of-pearl dial is graced with slim hands sweeping over ten slender applied pink gold hour-markers. The collection’s two signature Roman numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock underscore an aesthetic that is both classic and contemporary. Fitted with discreet lugs and a sapphire crystal caseback, the curving 28.4 x 38.7 mm case, water-resistant to 30 metres, houses manual-winding Caliber 1400 AS, entirely developed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin. This 98-part movement, endowed with a 40-hour power reserve, drives the hours, minutes and small seconds at 6 o’clock. Gently embracing even the daintiest wrist, the lines of this model are beautifully enhanced by the bright glow of its shiny fuchsia-colored alligator leather strap.
