Vacheron Constantin has officially launched its first standalone boutique in Malaysia at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Spanning more than 100 sq m, the new space is inspired by the refined design aesthetic of the maison in the heart of Geneva, Switzerland.
Incorporated into the glass façade, its Maltese cross emblem greets guests even before they step into the warm and intimate environment. A fitting place for watch collectors to immerse in the culture and history of the venerated brand, the boutique sets the tone for excellence through personal attention.

“Vacheron Constantin and Malaysia have shared an appreciation for fine Swiss watchmaking for over 200 years, since the beginning of the 20th century,” said its managing director of Southeast Asia and Australia, Gael Porte, in a statement. “We are delighted to welcome enthusiasts and connoisseurs to Vacheron Constantin’s world of haute horlogerie and tradition in KL. With this new location, we seek to offer our clients the best space for exclusive services and share our maison’s commitment to haute horlogerie, where they can discover the know-how and tradition that set us apart as one of not many.”

The new store houses the brand’s complete repertoire as well as boutique-exclusive models, including the Patrimony, Traditionnelle, Overseas, Fiftysix and Égérie collections. It will also welcome an annual rotation of Les Collectionneurs and Les Cabinotiers assortments, the former being a curated collection of restored vintage watches offered with the same warranty enjoyed by contemporary offerings and the latter, single-piece editions and bespoke timepieces that showcase the wealth of creative and technical talent of the maison’s master watchmakers.
