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 new models – a prestigious tourbillon with a slate-colored dial and a ladies’ watch combining the purity of mother-of-pearl with a vivid fuchsia-colored strap – radiate an imposing and distinguished presence within a curvaceous pink gold case.
The charismatic tonneau (barrel) shape has consistently punctuated Vacheron Constantin’s creative heritage since 1912. At the time, the Manufacture played a pioneering role in adopting this daring format, representing a clean break with the traditional shape of pocket watches. Hugging the wrist to perfection, this distinctive curve is variously expressed through the Malte collection, composed of men’s and ladies’ models that are as understated as they are sophisticated. The Malte aesthetic, reinvented in 2012 and distinguished by harmoniously balanced contemporary lines with pure displays, continues to assert its unique personality that is both classic and original.
