Montblanc

To recap, the Timewalker Chronograph 100... a superwatch (like a supercar) mechanically in my books. Not the most handsome watch at first glance. Not easy to appreciate in terms of its looks, especially for lovers of classical watches (like me). A busy di...  

With its bi directional winding crown! Thank for this very interesting article, Robin. To be saved! Best, Nicolas

Same similarities indeed especially the bi directional winding. Both movement plates also made of German silver :) The Montblanc Villeret's movements base plates are all crafted from German silver and rhodium plated. I think the JLc duometre's German silv... 

And a lot learnt about the great work MB is doing. Love the technical details! Hope to see more of such superbly informative posts!

Thanks bro and glad you enjoyed the post. Let's check out this watch in Singapore someday :) Cheers Robin

You made it easy for me to understand. Such a awesome movement, but it's a pity the dial design doesn't appeal to me. It's a bit too messy IMHO. Have a great New Year! Regards, Ian

and the detailed information helps too! Fascinating movement, but I'd agree with Ian that the dial is a little busy for my taste.

And based on your collection, you like vintage classical cars and watches like me :) Still the movement of the Timewalker 100 is very classical in finishing. I hope we can see it one day in Singapore together Cheers Robjn

Agree - I must admit I enjoy the movement more than the dial design which is very modern and I like classical watches mainly. It's messy as it tries to show many technical aspects of the watch including the Minerva arrow that now has a function to play :)... 

never realised so much technicalities goes into the MB timepieces/movements.. Think I'll pop by an MB boutique soon to see and appreciate this piece in person. Thanks for the report Robin. Cheers !

I think you will like this one too :) And you have a good wrist size for it :) Enjoy the boutique experience ! Cheers Robin

Thanks for the very detailed post! I feel i can go Mont Blanc and apply for a position as a Cal MB watch maker!

We'll get Julien to train you in the Villeret Jedi arts first! :p Cheers Robin

.. i particularly like how they have 2 mainsprings and balance wheel and the winding is like a sonnerie watch! need to see the chronograph in action.. any videos?
