Specialist note

The present Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon is combining the best of haute horology with stunning aesthetics and might be one of the most visually interesting watches ever produced by Vacheron Constantin - Opulent, yet not too flamboyant, the Malte Tourbillon is a worthy companion whatever the occasion.

Only the association of several traditional Fine Watchmaking crafts can give rise to such works of art. The creation of skeleton watches, or the art of playing with transparency and making light dance across gleaming metal to transform a watch movement into an ethereal ballet of openworked bridges and wheel trains, is an art long since mastered by the Manufacture Vacheron Constantin. An art that requires for complementary skills: that of the Master Watchmaker to handle the mechanical demands; that of the Master Chamferer to capture the light and reveal the quintessence of the movement; and finally, that of the Master Engraver to sublimate the movement with a decor that gives life to skeleton watches.
