Montblanc

They are there… at least MB is confident!

MB really came up with something miraculous:

The traditionally styled hour-circle is crafted from an ultramodern hybrid ceramic permeated with Superluminova pigments. These luminous pigments form the Arabic hour numerals in the characteristic font of the Montblanc Rieussec collection. The digits are invisible in daylight because they’re precisely embedded into the hour ring, with which they share exactly the same colour. But when the ambient light starts to dim, the luminous pigments that fill the numerals – as well as the Superluminova-filled hour-hand and minute-hand – begin to glow, thus assuring perfect legibility and simultaneously giving this watch its characteristic appearance.

Oh yes!!!

In fading light you notice a finely orchestrated changeover where the glowing hour numerals appear beneath the minute indication - quite some magic:

In fact, if you have sharp exes you might discover that there is something within the dial...

Back to internal affairs: Here we find nothing really new, but as always very high standards: The well-known and reliable MB Cal. R200 (self-winding monopusher chronograph, column-wheel, 72 hours power reserve) with a rotor matching the case material:

Pro:

• Iconic watch

• Traditional manufacture craftsmanship

• Most pleasant interpretation of the theme so far

Con:

• If any: Legibility during day (lack of dedicated hours indices)

• ???
