That's not cosmic dust
Feb 01, 2018,02:54 AM
KMII,
Thanks for the review.
When I saw the photo, my initial though was: "He should have wiped the dust off the glass,"
Then, I realised it was not dust on the glass but the cosmic highlights on aventurine dial.
I like the Rieussec chronograph layout that works well for that model but adding a tourbillon is distracting.
The good news is that the tourbillon does not affect the reading of the chronograph counters.
Overall, with that Montblanc Star diamond and the cosmic dust, I think this is a "fun piece" to be brought out for special occasions rather than a daily wearer.
Regards,
MTF

Dilemma indeed :)

Not just thorough, but you make interesting points when you compare the watch under the microscope with others from the same brand; or with similar complications.

Definitely agree with you in your verdict - fun piece for special moments! And on the issue of the tourbillon being a tad distracting while not harming the chronograph readability at the same time.
