The TimeWalker collection is first into the bend with

a giant-sized chronograph that makes no Secret of its motor-racing origins. Far

from it, for this is no less than a pure reinterpretation of the famous Minerva

Rally Timer. Mounted on a calfskin strap, it easily converts into a pocket

watch which can also be set on a desk or attached to a car dashboard to read

time from behind the wheel. With a titanium case measuring an imposing 50 mm in

diameter, this isn't a watch for the faint of wrist. Montblanc has put

considerable thought into the dial layout for maximum legibility, and has

aligned the large 30-minute counter with the small seconds subdial. Racing fans

in particular will appreciate the highly visible red chrono seconds hand that

runs along the tachymeter scale to calculate speed.
