Interesting Complication
For those of us who are less visually-creative, I am hopeful that Montblanc passes along some schematics to show the dual-cam system in operation.
As has become customary with the Rieussec line, this watch is aesthetically balanced and the added complication is interesting. I find myself wondering if a jump hour disk would have improved the watch. How difficult would it have been to implement the hour disc as a jump hour?

Did I get it well? Nice, very nice watch. Which has the good taste to be available in stainless steel, too. Best, Nicolas

Ahh, I was close!
I was close about the day/night indicator disc. But it's not a 24 hour disc. Montblanc decided to do this in a more clever and proper but difficult way instead of just a simple 24 hour disc. Looking forward to seeing the platinum and steel versions as wel...
A mere 39 minutes!
LOL, I think I posted a mere 39 minutes before Mike revealed the full complication. FWIW, I assume it's a typo that blue is night and black is day? Nice touch with the Maltese Cross-type cam system that provides a gradual change from am to pm colors. I'm ...
