Montblanc’s watchmaking divisions seem to be in full flight under Managing Director Laurent Lecamp, with offerings both classical and contemporary. First up, the contemporary, and then we’ll flip the script on the classic.
The main party trick of this handsome, sporty travel time seems to be the horological equivalent of “Look, mom, no hands!” and it’s a pretty great trick, to be fair, leading to a watch that looks clean and doesn’t sacrifice any readability.
This is thanks to a system that sees a red square move around the outer edge of the dial, which is read off the fixed 24-hour aluminum bezel. And while this isn’t the first time we’ve seen an aperture used to display a second time zone, it’s an under-utilized approach, and Montblanc has done a very nice job implementing it into their sporty 42mm steel 1858.
