Really? When I did the review of the Nicolas Star Rieussec GMT

I was able to use the small chronograph seconds hand running continuously as a "seconds" indicator.  It hacked when I pulled the crown out to the third postiion to set the time.  This watch also used the automatic MBR200 movement.

Even without a seconds hand, the Rieussec can be perfectly set against a reference time.How is this possible?The Caliber MB R200 employs a vertical disk clutch to start and stop the chronograph.According to Montblanc, this system has no effect on the rate of the movement, which means that the chronograph function can be run continuously- effectively turning the small seconds disc into a small seconds display.When the chronograph is activated and being used in this capacity, the seconds disk “hacks” (i.e. the balance wheel stops) when the crown is pulled out to the third position allowing the watch to be set accurately. "

I wonder if something changed?

Best, MIke
