WATCHES

Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon Regulator

This exceptional piece is a vibrant dedication to the Métiers d’Art, which here border on the sublime.

With the invisible settings all entirely hand-crafted, it is dressed in 565 baguette diamonds (totalling approximately 19 carats), creating a supreme illumination of time.

Only a few artists today have mastered the technique for producing invisible diamond settings. The gold is completely hidden behind the precious stones: supported by a track, they form a field of light without any trace of fastening and, as a result, emit maximum luminosity. Vacheron Constantin chose to apply this technique to a shaped watch which, despite its curved profile, has edges, sharp angles and taut lines, all of which made the work much more challenging.

And to accomplish this, a whole range of craftsmen, from designer to gem-setter, from watchmaker to jeweller, worked in perfect harmony, orchestrating their respective skills and motivated by the same determination to surpass themselves.
