Vacheron Constantin presents two new Malte 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.
Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon in Pink Gold with Slate-colored Dial
The only Hallmark of Geneva certified tonneau-shaped tourbillon model, this paragon of Fine Watchmaking features a finely curved 38 x 48.2 mm case water-resistant to 30 meters and attired in 18K 5N pink gold.
Its stylish appearance is accentuated by a finely sand-blasted slate-coloured dial punctuated by eleven baton-shaped hour-markers and one Roman numeral made of pink gold.
At 6 o’clock, the Maltese cross-shaped tourbillon carriage asserts its character and reveals the exceptional level of finishing performed on each of the movement components.
The slightly off-centred position of the hours and minutes hands, as well as the low frequency of the movement – 18,000 vibrations per hour – ensure a fine view of the tourbillon bearing the seconds hand.
169 parts compose the tonneau-shaped 2795 caliber, a mechanical hand-winding movement entirely developed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin, endowed with a 45-hour power reserve.

Vacheron Constantin Malte Small Model in Pink Gold with Mother-of-Pearl Dial
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.
