I Will admit this traditionnelle open work calendar is quite impressive in the flesh. This one was sold. I came out empty handed for now ☺️ ...

I really love the open faced Traditional. It looks like it has a lot of depth in the “dial”. There isn’t a seconds hand though is there, so are any of the moving parts visible on the dial side? All the best, Jon

I owned it

And the lack of anything moving drove me crazy, otherwise a beautiful watch

I can understand . Did you get used to it? You said you owned it so you let go of it already? Interested to hear your thoughts

Yes, I traded it away.

It also is available at discount on the secondary market. Beautiful dress watch, but I agree an open face needs movement for me to be enamored. I would look down and see none. Fit well.

Thanks for sharing. Sometime the grey market pricing can indeed provide insights

I would be interested to hear your further thoughts too. If there is no movement on the dial side I might be better off with a Breguet Tradition.

Love the dual time and tourbillon traditions. They are amazing watches

Thanks for your further thoughts.

Yea these Bréguet are great as well!

What did you think of the Malte?

I like it A LOT! Nice and different

Love the enthusiasm!

I was not familiar with the Malte. Love it’s unique shape and simplicity

Love 'em both.

That Malte is quite to my licking!

;))

At those prices I'd expect the calendar to be an annual and not just 'complete'

Very fair point indeed! Cheers

Yes. VC seems to be one of the few big ultra-lux brands offering this obsolete movement.

If I could I would... the Malte. Cheers.

It’s a great piece with a unique case

I just had one offered to me!

I see what you mean

Quite something and one which will complete your VC triptyque collection!

Well out of the two I prefer the Malte I think for its simplicity and unique case shape
