This is such a rare VC chronograph that I can't complain! I love its black dial and red accents. The only thing that didn't speak to me so much (to be honest here) is the numerals. I think indices would look cleaner?
Thanks for sharing this rare bird Nicolas! You always have photos of these rare watches!

Vacheron Constantin Malte Chronograph for Dubail.
By: amanico : June 3rd, 2014-14:07
I had the opportunity to see this rare version ( only 30 pices ) 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 ( chronograp...

thanks for posting this beautiful watch! I disagree about the red, I think with a light brown croco strap (or burgundy color one), the red accents on the dial would look amazing!! ;) Drooling over this one! S :)

I believe it is in the same shop whence came a certain Prestige de la France, no? ;-) I love this version of the Malte Chrono, and honestly, if I did not already have my Overseas US Edition, with the similar color scheme and size within 1mm of each other,...
Ha! Always helpful with your suggestions. ;-)

But I need to a little more diversity within my small collection than to have both of these red and black chromos -- unless I decided to make that a theme. Hmmmm.....
great one

i love the dial
You got that right, Bill!

You know me too well. ;-) That is exactly the version I would want. Maybe someday... I have a somewhat funny story about that watch. It turns out that a friend of mine owns one, and I first saw his watch before we had ever met at an event hosted by Vacher...
something dissonant about this piece

Perhaps the combo of sporting dial with classic case shape; the combination seems novel in the extreme. I'm equally confused by this model... Malte US Special Edition ...
It is a watch with character

I like the idea to propose a clear alternative to the usual style for this type of watch. At least this LE brings something different. It is the reason why I like this watch. Thanks for the pics & presentation. Fx
