News August 2007

Always in search of excellence and useful functions, Vacheron Constantin has further enriched its Malte line with a new Power Reserve & Date model, a timepiece that is in perfect harmony with the evolution of the collection.

Malte Power Reserve & Date

The Watch Quote™ - August 4th, 2007

Two useful complications, a power reserve and date, are combined in an attractive round case with slightly fanned horns. The case is 38mm in diameter, giving the watch a middle position in the Malte line. The innovative Malte Power Reserve & Date will certainly appeal to connoisseurs of traditional watches and lovers of timepieces designed for refined daily living.

The model is presented in two versions – 18K white or pink gold – and has a silvered dial in contemporary guilloche work optimising legibility. The dial features 18K gold fan-shaped hour and minute hands, a seconds counter at six o’clock, a power reserve indicator with 18K gold applied facetted hour-markers at eleven o’clock, and the date in a large counter at three o’clock.

With the exceptional finishing that is the hallmark of traditional watchmaking craftsmanship, the Malte Power Reserve & Date houses Vacheron Constantin’s new manual-wound 1420 movement. Stamped with the prestigious Geneva hallmark, this movement belongs to the latest generation of movements designed and developed by the Geneva-based manufacture.

This model has a screw-down back and is water-resistant to 30 metres. It comes on a black or brown hand-stitched, square-scaled alligator mississipiensis strap with a classic 18K white or pink gold buckle.
