Montblanc

Montblanc unveiled some interesting watches, this year. Let me start with the Montblanc Heritage Perpetual Calendar. It is not THE Star of the collection, but still, it is a good looking watch with an interesting movement. Aesthetically, the case is super...  

thanks for your efforts in doing this review. The hands a a problem for me. I just don’t like them. It’s a mismatch of style.

A very handsome combining the most useful perpetual calendar and GMT functions. I like the well proportioned subdials and the Minerva inspired design a lot. Last but not least, a very reasonable asking price compared to similar offerings. Between the two,... 

The movement is made by ValFleurier but only for Montblanc. You can set all functions with the crown, back and forth. The steel version retails for 15,000 € and the gold for like 24,000 € which is immensely comnpetitive!

I'm with you about the hands. I think it's just a bit too modern given the otherwise classical layout. Indeed, leaf hands would've been better. While I still prefer the JLC esp in black dial configuration, this is quite a good offer from MB. What does tha... 

It’s not only a PC but also a GMT. Now that you have mentioned it, is there a seconds hand?

Vacheron Constantin's two awesome perpetual calendars.... Baume et Mercier's in-house perpetual calendar that is quite handsome. And Montblanc's two in-house perpetual calendars that are also in house. The Gold Version is supposed to be around 25,000 SFr ... 

The balance dial side is a great improvement in my eyes and the movement a definite step in the right direction. I personally prefer the steel and see your point on the hands. Non luminous leaf hands would be a good idea IMHO, as would a thinner case but ...
