Has anyone ever played with the Star Chrono GMT Perpetual Calendar

Even more interesting would be if anyone has actually seen the one of three specimens produced in platinum.
Cheers, Mike

Hi all, Have asked the MB Boutique where to find a MB star chrono gmt perpetual. As it was released in 2006, only one YG example was auctioned in 2007 and I assumed that all pieces are already sold out long ago (limited edition). To my surprise, the MB bo...

Hi JB, The "button" you see on opposite sides of the crown is the unique Montblanc patented locking mechanism. That is why on some pictures it is seen differently. Here is a profile shot and I hope you will understand (US patent # 7404669B2). It allows th...
