Montblanc adds a new montblanc replica watches member to the Collection Villeret 1858 family with a beautiful modern re-interpretation called simply the Vintage Chronographe. This classically elegant piece features a grand feu enamel dial and a hand-finished MBM caliber 16.29 column-wheel movement. The dial is created by heating a solid gold disk in a kiln to a temperature of about 800 degrees Celsius, fusing it to a layer of vitreous molten enamel.
The periphery of the Vintage’s dial is reserved for the telemeter scale, and the replica montblanc tachymeter scale is shifted to the center, where coils like a snail’s shell, making it long enough for tachymeter measurements up to three minutes in duration.
The fake montblanc co-axial monopusher chronograph movement features a large and weighty balance with adjustment screws along its rim, oscillating at 18,000 A/h (2.5 hertz); a balance spring with a Philips terminal curve; a swan’s neck fine adjustment mechanism; a V-shaped chronograph-bridge; a manually-beveled and finely finished chronograph-lever; classical horizontal coupling, and a column-wheel to control the chronograph’s functions. The “mise en function”, i.e. the exact abrading of the chronograph-lever, is performed during many hours of painstaking manual craftsmanship to a precision of several 1,000ths of a millimeter.
The Vintage Chronographe will be available in a strictly limited edition. The series consists of 58 timepieces in 18k red gold cases with white grand feu enamel dials and brown alligator-leather wristbands, and another set of 58 watches in 18k white gold cases with black grand feu enamel dials and black alligator-leather wristbands. The red gold version has a European MSRP of 37,000 euro, and in white gold the MSRP is 39,000 euro.
