By creating watches for the future centuries, Montblanc puts everything it takes into a timepiece that would end up becoming a rare exquisite timepiece, or simply a family legacy. Most of the timepieces proposed by Montblanc over the years have shown the unbelievable commitment of its designers to quality, performance, progress and innovation and they are all landmark pieces of this fine watch *** artistry. The new comer of the Montblanc family in 2009 was presented as the new Montblanc Automatic Sport Chronograph DLC at the SIHH 2009 event, where the timepiece had a huge impact, being appreciated not only by specialized magazines dedicating their field of activity to watch manufacturing, but by renowned watch connoisseurs as well. The new watch displays sporty features of design that are characterized by masculinity and power, achieved by the black color of its case and strap. With a highly modern look, the new Montblanc Automatic Sport Chronograph DLC Watch has a 44 mm in diameter case, appropriate for active men engaging in dynamic activities. The case is crafted from stainless steel, but treated with DLC as to give that black, solid appearance. This technique of using carbon treatment is quite common in the watch *** industry as it assures a better resistance in terms of case and mechanism protection, and a far more modern appeal in terms of design. Unlike most of the watches that used Diamond Like Carbon treatment, this watch is not completely black, the designers choosing to let the crown and the pushers in stainless steel, for the contrast. The unidirectional bezel of the new Montblanc Automatic Sport Chronograph DLC Watch has a tachymeter scale that provides reliability when in the water for divers. Given the fact that the designers wanted to create something more than ordinary, something extremely functional and reliable, they have constructed the case as to resist up to 200 meters of deep diving. Extremely legible, the dial makes use of luminescent coated hands, sub-dials for the chronograph's counters and also a date window displayed discreetly at 3 o'clock. The function of the date can be easily adjusted with the help of the crown. Made for sports and diving activities, this amazing Montblanc Automatic Sport Chronograph DLC Watch is equipped with a self-winding mechanical movement, a movement that was thoroughly elaborated by the Montblanc designers especially for this watch. The watch has also a 48 hours power reserve capacity. The black design of the case and dial could only be matched by a similar pattern of design when talking about the strap choice, so the new Montblanc Automatic Sport Chronograph DLC Watch comes accompanied by a black leather strap, fitted with a stainless steel clasp. The price for this unique timepiece can reach up to 3900 Euros, but having it on your wrist will soon prove out to be the best decision and acquisition ever.

Inspired by John Harrison's original Ships Chronometer Bremont is building a marine clock as a tribute to this great man. The clock will be made in England and has been designed in house with some unique features not normally found in clocks which include; three time zones, 30 day power reserve, date, 90 day chronograph and the case will be fully waterproof. With such a complicated design and build Bremont will only be able to make 10 to 15 clocks per year. Peter Roberts, Bremont's Technical Director; "We set out to design and create a marine clock suitable for use on the finest sea going vessels of the world. This clock would be robust, reliable and with useful extra features for the owners. Our first decision was that the clock would be round and capable of being mounted via a security plate to a ship's bulk head or a custom stand. All aspects of the design and construction of the clock had to be of the very finest quality - to match our watches in both style and finish. For the movement I have gone back to basics and incorporated some of the best features and designs from clock and watchmakers of the past - re-examined and updated with the technology of today. Therefore, I have incorporated twin fusee systems for the motive force - low friction pivoting systems - a la Harrison. Ball-race and jewels for the going train and I have revisited, using new materials, a classic English escapement." Giles English, Bremont's co-founder; "As a watch lover I have always been equally fascinated with clocks and have been mesmerised by Harrison's story and we made a big decision internally to work such a unique and difficult project. Too often over the years I have seen people with extremely expensive watches but with quartz clocks on their walls/bulkheads. Although we have taken a number of design aspects from our watches we will also be giving purchasers the opportunity to customize part of the design to their own specification." Delivery of the clocks is expected for early January 2011. Features include: The clock will run for one month per winding. The dial indicates: ?Time of day (local) hours minutes seconds, ?Date ?Time of day (home) ?Greenwich Mean Time ?State of wind (power reserve) ?Trip or voyage time (days & hours) All the above functions are useful to the voyager. The clock will be robust, water resistance and a practical instrument - very much in the mould of "Bremont Watches". The quality of manufacture, materials and finish in conjunction with the ability for the client to specify certain custom options/finishes will result in individual clocks of exceptional beauty, coveted as much for their artistry as for their technical merit." We have had considerable interest in the clock and although the final price has not been confirmed yet, we believe it will be in the region of ��38,000 or $58,000 USD said Mr. English.
