There's so much to like about the way this watch is designed

The nod to the 1930s with the cathedral hands and numerals for a start. But for me the main draw is the way it manages to represent the ENTIRE globe. Most if not all world time watches focus on representing a single hemisphere. So like you I've been drawn to this watch without quite getting to the point of buying one.


Could you give me 1, 2 or 3 shots on why I should overcome my hesitation and plump for one right away? It would be either the black and bronze, or the desert version i think (I'm also considering a MB 1858 Monopusher chronograph - a little more pricey but makes for an interesting counterpoint).

Thanks for sharing! Nice watch too! Bronze case! I'd take photos every few months to see how the bronze patinas.

Lovely piece. I immediately watched the review on it, and also listened to the podcast by the Montblanc watch division CEO Laurent Lecamp on Fratello podcast, which made for an excellent past-time. He spoke about buying a painting he liked so much, by put... 

Thanks, M!

i'll definitely follow your suggestion on tracking how the watch patinas... once i start wearing the watch

Very nice shots! And a cool watch, too.

How did you take those? Settings and what kind of lightning? Thanks n the watch: totally underrated and we don’t see it often enough but I like it a lot

thanks, Jurry!

settings for the camera are f/22, 1/125, iso100 using an off-camera flash. the lens is a 60mm macro and the camera uses an aps-c sensor. i posted the setup a few months back and you can find it here www.watchprosite.com

Thanks much appreciated
