This new release has a traditionally crafted grand feu enamel dial which provides a crisp and clean canvas for the blued steel hands and calibrated scales. The particular appeal of this sporty yet elegant timekeeper lies with the dial layout which features two timing devises, a telemeter scale which measures distances based on the speed of sound located on the periphery of the dial and a tachymeter scale which measures speed over a given interval which is seductively coiled in the centre of the dial in a snail-like spiral. The location of the tachymeter is reminiscent of earlier chronographs and largely due to lack of space on the dial, but in fact, it becomes an intriguing feature in itself and adds to the overall vintage styling of this impressive watch. The Villeret Vintage 1858 Chronographe is powered by the Minerva 16-29 manually wound column wheel chronograph movement. The 30 minute chronograph is operated via a monopusher on the crown which allows the classically rounded case shape to remain uncluttered. The Minerva manufacture was founded in 1858 and not only is the Montblanc Vintage Collection named in honor of this date, pieces in the collection are released in limited series of 1, 8 or 58 pieces thus paying further tribute to the iconic Minerva movements. |
