Montblanc's tribute to its fine watchmaking heritage carries through to the design of their newest timepiece.
The Heritage Chronometrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph is designed with a sophisticated dial crafted out of a dyed dark blue aventurine. This semi-precious stone is a type of quartz with tiny inclusions that give it its glittering starry night sky qualities, creating an elegant backdrop for the indications.
The hours and minutes are indicated with red gold-plated faceted sword-shaped hands that are slightly off-centered and positioned at the centre of a blued guilloche flinqué disc with a graceful wave decoration.
Other fine watchmaking details include a precise minute track around the outside of the dial for increased legibility, and a sparkling patented diamond at 12 o'clock, cut in the form of the Montblanc star emblem. The Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph comes in a case in 18â€karat red gold. In addition to this model, Montblanc has unveiled a gem-set version with 76 diamonds on the bezel, which is limited to 28 pieces worldwide.
Truly, it proves to be a perfect timeless piece for the sophisticated dresser, bringing with it all the necessities of a fine timepiece – world-class craftsmanship, dedication to detail, innovative mechanics, and only the most luxurious aesthetic.
The Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph Collection is available in Montblanc boutiques worldwide from August 2016. For further information, visit www.montblanc.com
