Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph 1000 Edition Limitée 18 square
Montblanc carries on the Minerva heritage with a Chronograph
that is tailor-made for the high-speed world of the racing circuit. Elapsed
time is measured with 1/1000th-of-a-second precision by a movement
at the peak of horological mechanics, as demonstrated by its two patents and 22
auxiliary patents. The Secret of this performance lies in the two balances. A
large balance with 18 screws keeps hours, minutes and seconds running to time. The
chronograph has its own, smaller balance, visible at 10 o'Clock, which oscillates
at an incredible 360,000 vibrations/hour. Of course, such extraordinary
precision would be of little use without clearly legible indications. Minutes
are displayed on the inner scale of the counter at 6 o'clock, with seconds
shown on the outer scale. Increments of 1/100th of a second are read
from the scale on the flange. The elusive 1/1000th of a second are
clearly visible in a red aperture at 12 o'clock.
