Not even a competition. i've never liked the over-wrought "must engrave every flat surface" aesthetic that pervades skeleton watches, even if VC does a better execution of it than most. In addition, I think the XII is unneeded and oddly jarring. My one sour note on the round one is the offcenter chapter ring. On a dialled watch, it's neat, here, where it gets partially cut-off at the bottom, it's weird

ps sorry, apparently today is nit-pickery day!
This or that? A choice between 2 Tourbillon watches
Vacheron unveiled 2 high-end skeleton Tourbillon at the SIHH this year. Which one do you prefer ? And why? Fx...
Although not a fan of skeleton;) I much prefer the.....
the first watch, the round one as the "Rococo" type engraving doesn't do for me on the Tonneau. Thank you for the pictures. Cheers Francois from Down Under
Hmmm both I won't be able to afford....
but i can still appreciate from afar! Your pictures are really nice Fx, thanks for sharing I prefer the Malte Skeleton Tourbillon between the 2 - purely based on looks, it seems more special to me. cheers robin
The round Skeleton os a winner
I am not so fond of the tonneau shape. I also am a little distracted by the writing which appears to be on the crystal or am i mistaken. It seems like alot of numbers and writing on the crystal. The round Skeleton is a much cleaner look. Thanks Bill

#1 for me!
But for slightly different reasons from Aaron, I didn't quite like the off-center chapter ring of the recent VC grand complications (and of the "normal" 14 day tourbillon), but this new central opening for the skeletonized movement really brings back the ...
Is it today?..the nit-pickery day? Geez, I am out.....
of sync:) well, not really I celebrate it almost every day;) I did not notice the off centre chapter ring until you pointed it out. Cheers Francois from Down Under
From your pictures,the round one.....
Live experience the tonneau is better,much denser architecture of the movement,better aesthetics. Great watches nevertheless. Mo

I don't like Malte Tourbillon because of the date and engraving. Regards, Constantin
Me, too!
But I will take the solid dial, and since I am dreaming wildly already, make mine Excellence Platine. -- greedy respo
Malte is the winner for me!
though I would rethink the location of the company name....
