Montblanc Star Legacy Metamorphosis Limited Edition - 8 pieces

Add to Wishlist

The Montblanc Star Legacy Collection takes its inspiration from Minerva’s heritage and the company’s pocket watches that were made during the late 19th century and early 20th centuries. Montblanc unveils the Montblanc Star Legacy Metamorphosis Limited Edition 8 in a sparkling blue colour. This innovative timepiece literally transforms itself by revealing two different faces. The mechanism is activated by a sliding lever on the side of the case (similar to that of a minute repeater mechanism) that is connected to a dial. It is comprised of a fixed part and moveable shutters, which can be opened and closed depending on the desired face. When the shutters are closed, the watch's face displays a worldtime function at six o'clock in the form of a turning, domed Northern-Hemisphere globe surrounded by a 24-hour scale and a day/night indication. At 12 o'clock, the rhodium-coated balance wheel with blued hairspring and 18 screws, beats at the traditional frequency of 18,000 oscillations per hour. When its shutters are opened, the dial reveals the beauty of Montblanc's patented one-minute Exo Tourbillon, held in place by a sapphire crystal bridge, and representing the sun at 12 o'clock. A jumping date disc appears around the Exo Tourbillon. At six o'clock, a realistic, three-dimensional moon with its exact position in the sky, as viewed from Earth, turns constantly around the globe in a gyroscopic way, exactly as it would make its journey around the Earth. In addition, the hours, minutes, seconds, worldtime and moonphases remain active independently of the watch face.
