Vacheron Constantin Malte Chronograph for Dubail.
Jun 03, 2014,14:07 PM
I had the opportunity to see this rare version ( only 30 pièces ) released, i 2009, for Dubail, a well known Parisian AD.
I must confess that when Foversta showed us this version, I was very skeptic, because of the red accents on the dial and ( chronograph ) hands.
It was in 2009.I saw it again, in 2012, and well, I was less shocked by these touches of red.
Now, I changed my mind, a bit.
I find it cool. Would I have preferred it without these red parts here and there? Yes. Would I have preferred it all black? Definitely!
Still, I find it cool, and quite dynamic. I also have to add that I always loved the Malte Chronograph, much more than the one which came after, the Patrimony.
Not too big, with its 41, 5 mm case, it has a lot of charm, I find, due to the 2 registers, a tad too centered because of the size of the movement, and its superb lugs.
It has a lot of presence on the wrist, too, even ore with this black dial.
And a big power of seduction.
Here are the photos I could take:
Best,
Nicolas
