TOURBILLONS
VACHERON CONSTANTIN
MALTE TOURBILLON REGULATOR – REF. 30080
For this Malte Tourbillon Regulator’s large, perfectly balanced tonneau case, Vacheron Constantin’s master watchmakers
designed a mechanical movement that fits perfectly into this geometric shape: Caliber 1790R. This movement is equipped with the
tourbillon, which remains one of the most emblematic complications of the art of watchmaking and is the distillation of all the savoir-
faire possessed by the brand’s master watchmakers; and the regulator display offering a vertical reading of the time on the tourbillon
cage. Five different finishings (snailing, guilloché, opaline, vertical satining, and circular satining) ensure that each indication is
extremely easy to read. Water resistant to 100 feet, the case is enhanced with a domed sapphire crystal that prolongs the lines of the
bezel. The Malte Tourbillon Regulator is available in 950 platinum or 18K pink gold on a dark blue (for the platinum version) or brown
(for the pink-gold version) hand-stitched, saddle-finish alligator strap with a folding clasp and polished half Maltese cross.
