Discover the Montblanc Chronograph Rally Timer's unique 'driving mode' wrist wear, a quirky SIHH highlight. See collector photos and insights.

Andrewluff shares his enthusiasm for the Montblanc Chronograph Rally Timer, a standout piece from SIHH/Geneva Watch Week. He highlights a unique feature often overlooked in initial press photos: its ability to be worn like a true driving watch. His post encourages a fresh perspective on this distinctive and quirky timepiece.

I saw some fabulous watches during SIHH/Geneva Watch Week and as amazing as some watches were technically, not that many watches stuck in my mind afterwards apart from the Rally Timer.

Now I always like something a little different and quirky, so this watch/desk clock/dashboard timer certainly ticked this box. All the pictures I have seen of the Rally Timer in 'watch mode' were with the pusher pointing straight up... but the beauty is that is can be worn like a true driving watch

I LOVE IT!

Cheers

Andrew

We all wrote about it...

But you are absolutely right - yours is the first picture here snapped in \'driving mode\'. What did you think of the watch?

I saw many many watches at SIHH...

I have to be honest which one would I actually hand over hard cash for and this would be high on the list! I just think it is serious watchmaking but with a fun side. Cheers Andrew

Yes, you are right. It can be worn like this. Will you ask an orange writing? ;) [nt]
