The TimeWalker Collection from Montblanc
Montblanc TimeWalker Collection
The Montblanc TimeWalker combines these legendary timing instruments of the past with the spirit of motor racing, encapsulating the Minerva heritage, superb technology, masculine energy, winning performance and the style of the glory days of racing.
Montblanc TimeWalker Manufacture Chronograph
Reinterpreting historical emblematic chronographs, the Montblanc TimeWalker Manufacture Chronograph combines an iconic tri-counter “panda” dial with a new automatic chronograph.
The dial, with its black tri-counters on a white background – reminiscent of the dashboards of classic racing cars – is commonly known as a “panda” design. The dial also has a flange with a 5-minute track coated with SuperLumiNova for high visibility day and night.
Other features include rhodium-plated, dauphine-shaped hour and minute hands and a red chronograph second hand inspired by the Minerva arrow.
The 43 mm, stainless steel case has been satin-finished for an automotive look and better resistance to scratches.
The timepiece is powered by the in-house chronograph calibre MB 25.10 featuring traditional finishing.
The movement is equipped with a traditional column wheel, a horizontal coupling as well as a stop-second mechanism.
The timepiece features either a stainless steel metal bracelet equipped for optimal comfort; a new vintage brown, Sfumato, aged, calf leather strap with perforated holes, or a black alligator Bund strap – both leather straps are from the Montblanc Pelletteria, and are fitted with the Maison’s triple folding clasp. The watch is water-resistant to 100 metres.
Montblanc TimeWalker Rally Timer Chronograph Limited Edition 100
Inspired by the famous Minerva Rally Timer stopwatch produced by Minerva in the 1960s, the Montblanc TimeWalker Rally Timer Chronograph Limited Edition 100 combines a unique aesthetic with a “reverse panda” dial and the renowned handcrafted Manufacture monopusher chronograph calibre MB M16.29.
The wristwatch, with its Sfumato aged leather calf strap, can easily be converted into a pocket watch by simply folding the strap attachments under the case.
The pocket watch can then be either placed on a table – thanks to two arms below the case – used as a stopwatch with the strap as a handle for utmost security, or clipped into a metal plate covered with leather that attaches to a car’s dashboard, offering a highly functional and extremely legible timepiece when behind the wheel.
The 50 mm case is crafted out of grade-two titanium and is satin-finished, as are the vintage-inspired knurled crown and the versatile strap attachments.
The case can be turned from 0 to 180 degrees (or from 3 to 9 o’clock) in both directions to allow perfect readability while driving.
An open case back shaped as a car grill reveals the hand-finished in-house manually wound monopusher chronograph calibre MB M16.29, which features a column wheel, horizontal coupling, and a 50-hour power reserve. The timepiece is water-resistant to 30 metres.
