Well done without a dictionary on the dial.

I know that nowadays tourbillons are mostly for show, but am I correct in my impression that taking the balance wheel out of the tourbillon entirely defeats the purpose ?

[@pilotwjf]

I was thinking the same thing. But it looks like they isolated the balance wheel only...the rest of the escapement assembly is still rotating.

[@dimitryxof6992]

Balance wheel is still rotating. Have a look on the coil

[@titusfong]

Thinking about the same thing too, waiting for some explanations

[@rashakor]

You may call it a semi-tourbillon. A full « whirlwind » includes both the balance wheel and the escapement to rotate about the gravity. Here only the escapement does. It is still a pretty cool movement.

Very nice!

Handsome.

Honestly, from the thumbnail I thought I was looking at a AP Code 11.59.

Montblanc is a luxury brand without an identity. There’s nothing tying their designs together and no story to tell.

[@gyang333]

You can thank current Richemont CEO Jerome Lambert for that. Prior to him, MB had a pretty clear design identity (TimeWalker, Star, Nicolas Rieussec). Lambert arrived and copies a bunch of JLC designs but with compromises (due to using ETA/Sellita movements).

Laurent ferrier did it better
