Mont Blanc Leather Strap Watches

Limited Edition of 8 Pieces The case, in platinum or in 18kt white gold, measures 47mm. This new model has a large central axial minute-hand, a distinct hour display, an indicator for the time in a second time zone (with day/night display), a subdial for the seconds, a chronograph with a counter for 30 elapsed minutes, and a tourbillon with a balance larger than the tourbillon's rotating cage and positioned outside it. The balance has been separated from the cage to isolate it from the disturbing movements of the escapement. This separation made it possible to create the world's first tourbillon in which the rotating cage is smaller than the balance, which oscillates outside the cage and on a higher plane. This architecture also inspired the watch's name, which includes the Greek prefix exo, meaning outside. The balance in this unconventional configuration is borne between two jewels - it is neither cantilevered ("flying") nor is it borne between two bridges - while the tourbillon turns at the foot of the axis in a two-point bearing.

Angular Momentum Montre a Guichet Guilloche in TitaniumThe renowned Swiss watchmaker has updated its Angular Momentum Montre a Guichet Guilloche line with a model in titanium.As the original model, this feather-light version is presented in a 39.5 mm case, which is now made of titanium.Instead of a usual sapphire crystal, the watch is equipped with a 925 sterling silver Medallion a Guichet cover with a psychedelic Guilloche “Soleil Inca” a la Main finishing.Since the sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% of other metals, the medallion is available in four colors of gold, silver, Rhodium and even purple Ruthenium.To make the timepiece usable (no one wants a watch that doesn’t tell time, no matter how beautiful it is,) the Swiss watchmaker has done a pair of diamond cut apertures at 12 and 6 o’clock to display the revolving hours and minutes disks respectively.To be frank, the solution still looks a kind of helpless compared to the gorgeous A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk mechanical watch with jumping hours and minutes.However, a comfort time representation is not the watch’s main function. Like most fashion watches, this one is, too, more of a beautiful accessory, rather than a time teller.The Angular Momentum Montre a Guichet Guilloche Titanium watch is equipped with a modified Swiss Made hand-wound caliber that features a revolving time disks complication.Alas, the movement is not visible, since the case back features a Palladium-coated 925 sterling silver medallion and is skillfully engraved with foliage on the Titanium back.I must admit that the watch is so beautiful that even the over-sized 8 mm crown with a black Onyx cabochon in its middle doesn’t spoil the picture.
