Montblanc is a respected brand that over the years has managed to place on the market of watch manufacturing products of the most exquisite quality and class. Forever paying tribute to taste, elegance and style, Montblanc is the proud manufacturer of some landmark timepieces that marked the watch manufacturing tradition. At one of the most representative events of the watch manufacturing industry, the SIHH 2010 event, Montblanc presented a timepiece that would assure its continuity as a renowned watch manufacturer interested in pioneering techniques, innovation and progress. Montblanc's Villeret 1958 Collection was extended by the introduction of the new Montblanc ExoTourbillon Chronographe Watch, a watch that can sustain many functions, while being extremely appealing in terms of design. The innovative concept proposed by the designers from Montblanc was the successful combination between a chronograph and a tourbillon into a single watch, *** of this fine timekeeping instrument one of the most progressive and functional timepieces in the world of watch manufacturing. Apart from the tourbillon and the chronograph, this watch can also provide the function of showing the time on a second time-zone. What's really interesting about the new Montblanc ExoTourbillon Chronographe Watch is definitely captured in its design, especially in its dial. The black dial of the watch presents the main functions displayed quite neatly, given the fact that the tourbillon's rotating cage is smaller in size than the balance. This technique has gained quite some fame for the Montblanc designers, being the first to create such a tourbillon. The tourbillon found its spot in the upper part of the dial, hinting to the position of the sun in relation to the other planets. The designers have played a little with the idea of a solar system and have managed to capture the essence of the picture in the displaying of the functions of this watch. The powerful mechanism assuring all these functions is defined as the Calibre 16.60 chronograph movement, being a movement able to provide amazing functionality for people who have high expectations from a watch. No matter the pretensions, we can assure you that this watch can offer almost anything, from a second time-zone, to a day/night function and from traditional functions of hour, second and minute to counters of the chronograph. Montblanc has decided to limit this edition of the new Montblanc ExoTourbillon Chronographe Watch to only 8 pieces made of 18 carats red gold and to 8 pieces made of white gold, while just one exclusive timepiece will be produced in platinum. That one timepiece is sure to make a loyal customer or a Montblonc collector proud. The new Montblanc ExoTourbillon Chronographe Watch is available on a black leather strap, fitted with a folding clasp made from the same material as the case.
