Thanks for this layman explanation, exactly what I needed!! Does Montblanc have a website that further explains movements in more detail? It'd be great if you can give more guidance on how to find out more about the caliber numbers.
You can check out their official website
What I found even more useful is their iPad app though. Detailed explanation with pics and videos of each timepiece and their calibres. If you have an iPad search for the Montblanc Timepieces app Cheers Robin
Thanks again, Robin!
The ipad app is very interesting and informative!!! All of us Montblanc fans should get it. I especially like the part where thet show the movement parts coming together in a split second. Very cool.
Glad you like it
If I have time I may post something on their iPad app here. More Montblanc fans should know and download and use the app It\'s really up to date with the 2015 novelties already there since a few months ago! Cheers Robin
