Introducing the tonneau-shaped Malte collection from, Vacheron Constantin.
At SIHH 2012, four models were presented within the Malte collection, three of which meet the new Geneva Seal certification, which not only has a high level of aesthetic requirements, it now also requires the movement to be tested for accuracy. Furthermore, the movement must be tested fully cased up, which is an even more stringent than the industry standard COSC-chronometer test (which requires only that the movement be tested).
The Malte collection celebrates Vacheron Constantin's history as one of the first manufacturers to adopt the tonneau or barrel-shaped cases. Originally, in 1912 Vacheron Constantin created a tonneau case to break with the rounded shape of its pocket watches. The tonneau shaped Malte wristwatch collection was first introduced in 2000. For 2012, Vacheron Constantin has presented four models: Malte Tourbillon, Malte small seconds, Malte Lady and the Malte 100th Anniversary Edition.
