Has anyone ever played with the Star Chrono GMT Perpetual Calendar

released in 2006 in celebration of Montblanc's 100th Anniversary? 

 







I think its base is a Valjoux 7750 which obviously has undergone a tremendous amount of modifications similar to the IWC Davinci series.  In fact the styling reminds me of this model as well. 

 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...
