Producing the most exquisite and exceptional watches for men since 1755 this brand has never wavered on quality or precision. This new Vacheron Constantin Malte for Men Watch is another step in the fine art of watchmaking and showcases the exceptional talents of skill and artistry. The original timepiece that provided inspiration for this latest collection debuted back in 1912, and was one of the first timepieces that featured the barrel-shaped tonneau case.
This new release has the case redesigned and is now presented in 18k white gold for the first time. The case has been crafted with a 36.7mm by 47.6mm measurement and is 9.1mm thick, with a spectacular sapphire exhibition case back and is water resistant up to 30 meters. This redesign allows the setting to really fit the shape of the tonneau case to a glove, and features a silvered and sand-blasted dial with baton-shaped hour markers with Roman numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock.
The movement in the Vacheron Constantin Malte for men is the spectacular in-house caliber 4400AS, manual wind, 21 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 vph. The decorative finishing of this movement helped earned the Geneva Hallmark honor, and it features a power reserve of 65 hours. The stylish white gold case is finished with a black Mississippi alligator strap and secured by a white-gold buckle that has been crafted in the shape of a Maltese cross, the signature emblem for the brand.
The brand has done a number of ladies collections through the years, but certainly put focus on the male collections this season and has put emphasis on the art of skeletonization, and the amazing look of the tourbillon. There are a number of unique pieces within the collection that showcase so much of the heritage of the brand, as well as the artwork that goes into these latest designs. There is the tourbillon, the moon phase, the chronograph and many more that capture the very essence of elegance that is represented by these timepieces.
As collectors review the timepieces within the Vacheron Constantin Malte for men collection it will be a selection nightmare if choices have to be made. The limited editions will certainly reduce the opportunity for horological lovers to gain multiple timepieces but rest assured there will be future releases that offer these magnificent masterpieces. Always reaching for improvement on their designs, the brand works to achieve brilliance on the inner technology as well as the outer shell that draws so much attention.
