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.

Vacheron CEO Juan-Carlos Torres personally presented the watch to Michael Mann, the director of Miami Vice. In Miami Vice, character Sonny Crocket (played by Colin Farrell) was wearing a Vacheron Constantin Malte Chronograph Perpetual Calendar in Platinum. The director was determined to acquire it for his personal anthology. The platinum case, measures 39mm, has double sapphire crystals and is water resistant to 30 meters.
