Montblanc Exotourbillon Chronograph 2013 Relaunch

In 2013, mkt33 revisited the Montblanc Exotourbillon Chronograph, highlighting its re-release with a subtly redesigned dial. This article offers a valuable look back at the evolution of a significant Montblanc complication, comparing the 2010 prototype with the updated 2013 version. Readers can appreciate the nuanced changes that refined its aesthetic and on-wrist presence.

First shown as a prototype in 2010, the Institut Minerva de Recherch en Haute Horologerie has relaunched the Exotourbillon Chronograph this year.

Initially limited to a total of 17 pieces (8 rose gold, 8 white gold, 1 piece unique in platinum) this series was sold out soon after its 2010 launch.  See the wonderful report here

Now the Exotourbillon movement MB M-16.60 is being delivered again with a subtle resdesign of the dial.

Here is the previous 2010 version.

On the wrist

Here is the white gold version

Here is the rose gold version

Notice the nice changes on the dial.  There is more balance with the MB logo moved out of the main time display.

Also the redesign of the 24 hour indicator and the minute counter for the 30 minute chronograph register.

I really was surprised at how well this looked on the wrist in 2010.  I suspect that these changes will make the "on-the-wrist" impression even more favorable.

If anyone has forgotten about the theoretical advantages of the Exo-tourbillon concept/layout, I would encourge them to click on the following post and review the information provided by Minerva.
