Many renowned watch manufactures have paid tribute to or celebrated the many festivities and anniversaries of various nations through special edition timepieces. The latest news on this front comes from Vacheron Constantin, the world's oldest watch manufacture who has created a limited edition timepiece to celebrate the 200th independence anniversary of Venezuela. The limited edition creation that commemorates the nation's 200 years of independence is restricted to 19 exclusive examples, out of which 10 are in rose gold while 9 are in platinum.

Time will stand still at the SIHH when Vacheron Constantin will unveil its Malte Tourbillon Regulator. Offered in 18 kt gold and platinum, this perfectly balanced tonneau case packs a manual-winding caliber 1790R. It has 27 jewels, beating at 18,000 bph and a power reserve of 40 hours. Some of the exceptional finishing operations on the 1790R movement can only be done by hand, particularly in the case of the bar, which takes 11 hours to hand-finish. Measuring a 40mm X 50mm, the crystal is sapphire.
