Recommended Reading: Why The Right Time Matters

Have you ever wondered how precision timekeeping developed, and how timekeeping evolved over the centuries to meet mankind, and industry’s, changing needs? This is a complicated question. Timekeeping originally had its roots in observation of natural cycles, like the movement of the Sun and Moon across the sky, but as technology developed, higher precision and greater standardization became increasingly important. Navigation at sea, the need for precision timekeepers for scientific experiments, and the rise of national railroad systems stimulated the evolution of timekeeping, and today, atomic clock precision is needed for everything from financial transactions, to GPS, and self-driving cars.

Introducing – Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon – Now With Slate Dial, Still With Exceptional Level of Finishing

The Malte always had a special position in the Vacheron Constantin collection, as using something that tends to disappear nowadays: a shaped case. Indeed, the Malte relies on a certain Art-Deco flair, on a voluntarily outdated style that gives the watch all its charm. But this timepiece is not just a pretty face, as inside the case is an exquisitely finished (to say the least) tourbillon movement. And as of now, its 18k pink gold case can be combined to a dark grey dial, for a warmer look. Here is the Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon Pink Gold Slate Dial.
