Spotted at Watches and Wonders: Montblanc Star Legacy Metamorphosis.

Apr 09, 2022,08:15 AM
 

This Star Legacy Metamorphosis is not part of the 2022 collection, but I had the pleasure to see it in real, at Watches and Wonders. 

The originality of this watch is that it has two dials, one hidden under the other, which you can change through the trigger. 

The watch with its 2 faces: 


Here is the video of the first version, unveiled in 2010, if my memory serves me well, to better explain it to you. 




And now, the promised photos.









This watch is much better in real. But two things... First it is a huge watch, in diameter ( around 50 mm ! ) and in height. Second, which is a consequence of the first point, the weight... It is really heavy. 

As the lugs are short, I could wear it, but it is damn thick and heavy.  Still, a captivating watch, offering a very high level of finishing, beautifully executed, and with a very original concept. 

Limited to 8 pieces.

Best,

Nicolas

Had never seen a mechanism like it before. Did not know about the size, that’s a bit of a shame but some sacrifices must be made for such a unique function!

That's amazing!!!

I am guessing they are all sold out?

Yeah you’re right! Did you order one?

I ordered the LE18 version and after three days they had for that one 50 applications already

and I guess the LE58 will have the same fate. you should hurry up, depends on the general allocation for your market. either via a Montblanc owned boutique or the concierge service of your country; ADs will probably not get too many if any. I know that Te... 

🙁 thanks for the update!

The weight and height would not bother me, but a 50mm diameter is massive. Still, what a watch, and anyone would be very very lucky to own this regardless of size. Thank you for these splendid photos by the way!

Excellent! :))
