Oh yes the Duometre chrono!

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 silver movement plates are untreated and hence the honey gold color like on Langes. Correct Nico?

Montblanc Timewalker 100: The Calibre MB M66.25 explained
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 28th, 2014-06:40
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...

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
It's like a modern sports car my friend :)

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
Happy New Year Ian!

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 :)...
Interesting..

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 !
Wonderful read!

Lol!
