Vacheron Constantin Celebrates "The Art of Openworking" With The Launch Of A Limited Edition Malte Tourbillon Openworked.

A few weeks ago, Vacheron Constantin hosted a cocktail event in their new boutique at ION Orchard. Vacheron Constantin’s skeletonised watches are highly sought after by collectors. The highlight of the evening was the Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon Openworked Singapore ION Orchard Boutique Exclusive piece. This tonneau case watch features a tourbillon within an openedworked calibre and is limited to only three pieces.

The entire movement is skeletionised.  Openworking, also know as skeletonising, involves the opening of bridges and plates of the watch to reveal the beauty of the mechanism. Vacheron Constantin’s efforts on this one is second to none! 




The other piece that caught my attention was the Metiers d'Art Mecaniques Ajourees. Great care was taken to ensure that the skeletonised movement is not only aesthetically pleasing but also strong enough to ensure proper functioning of the watch.


Beautiful craftsmanship indeed!

Something for the ladies? The Metiers d'Art Fabuleux Ornements-Indian manuscript.

I spotted some very interesting vintage Vacheron Constantin watches that are for sale in this VIP room. Known as the "Vacheron Constantin Les Collectionneurs" each timepiece is carefully chosen by Vacheron Constantin heritage specialists and restored, with serviced certificate of authenticity and one year guarantee. Do check it out when you visit the boutique.
