Montblanc '1858 Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition 100'

The Montblanc ‘1858 Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition 100’ in a bronze case

This again is one of those chronographs where my eyes get really big, my mouth falls open, and I forget how to talk.

Crazy, but this chronograph should be worn the other way round, so one can always admire the beauty of the Montblanc / Minerva Manufacture Calibre MB M16.29. 

The timepiece is limited to only 100 pieces and for what you get absolutely fair priced at 27.500 Euro including 19 % VAT.

The Flyback Chronograph Manufacture is a real price-cutter in its class! The new chronograph calibre FC-760 was developed in-house from scratch over a six year period, most of the components are now being manufactured in-house and finally the caliber is fully assembled in-house in the workshops in Plan-les-Ouates. Yes, it can be done! This in-house Manufacture Flyback Chronograph will be sold below 4000 Euro, starting at 3695 Euro including VAT.  

Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante Calibre B03

Baselworld 2017: Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante Calibre B03

With its two superimposed central chronograph hands, of which one can be stopped, by pushing the push-piece being integrated in the crown, so as to measure an intermediate (split) time, before “catching up” (= rattraper in French), by again pushing the push-piece being integrated in the crown, with the first one still sweeping onwards, the split-seconds chronograph is considered one of the most sophisticated watchmaking mechanisms to create.
