Description

uWith the Grand Chronographe Rgulateur, the Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 presents another model that deviates strikingly from our image of the conventional wristwatch and perfectly combines tradition with innovation. The Grand Chronographe Rgulateur is further proof of the innovative thrust that Montblanc has helped to instil at the Institut Minerva de Recherche en Haute Horlogerie and which it is hoped will generate one new movement every year. The most conspicuous features on the chronograph are its regulator dial with a small hour circle at 12 o‘clock and a large centre minute hand. These are complemented by a second time zone display, a day/night indicator and a unique and patented combined power reserve/winding display. In addition, the piece sports a chronograph function with monopusher operation, a large centre chronograph hand and all the other design features typically associated with the Institut Minerva de Recherche en Haute Horlogerie.Inside the watch beats the calibre MB M16.30, a movement completely developed and manufactured at the ateliers of the Institut and meticulously finshed by hand by the master watchmakers in Villeret.
