Villeret Grande Chronograph Regulator is the new timepiece created by the luxurious watchmaker Montblanc. This is a functional, refined and very sophisticated watch due to its technical characteristics. The Montblanc Villeret Grande Chronograph Regulator watch features a 47mm case crafted from 18k white gold, a beautiful dial adorned in a hand-guilloched style and fitted with chronograph hands in Pfinodal. The hand-stitched strap is made of alligator leather and it includes a gold buckle. A part from these basic characteristics, this Montblanc watch presents highly innovative features. The most striking of all are the regulator dial equipped with an hour circle positioned at 12 o'clock and a large minute hand found at the centre of the dial. The sub-dial also features a second time zone fitted with an extra hour hand thus being very useful to travelers. The local time is indicated by the hour hand made in skeleton style placed in the small circle at 12 o'clock. The home time is shown by the blued hour hand. The two hands are in the same position when the wearer of this Villeret Grande Chronograph Regulator watch is in his home time zone. When he travels to another time zone, he can set the skeletonised hour hand to local time by using the button found at 10 o'clock. There is also a small day/ night indicator which displays the time at home.This Villeret Grande Chronograph Regulator watch created by Montblanc features important functions such as a mono pusher mechanism and chronograph hand-finished movement equipped with a large seconds hand, a small minute counter positioned at 3 o'clock and also a basic column wheel with horizontal clutch and semi-instantaneous minute counter. Aside from this, the Montblanc watch features a quite sophisticated power reserve display. It is found in the lower half of the dial and it includes two hands which give the user important information about the left power reserve. When the tension is to low the upper hand remains immobile while the lower hand goes into the red area. If there is enough power left, the two hands are perfectly layered. This was created by using a mechanism which includes 19 individual parts. The timepiece is water resistant to 30 meters. As expected the Montblanc Villeret Grande Chronograph watch is available in limited edition. Montblanc has come up with three variations crafted from different materials: there is one single piece in platinum, 8 pieces made of 18k white gold and 58 pieces in rose gold. The winding crown of each timepiece bears the Montblanc emblem signifying that the highest level in European craftsmanship has been reached.
