1858 The Unveiled Timekeeper Minerva 100

Montblanc has based its The Unveiled Timekeeper Minerva on a historic calibre from 1923. All the attributes of a Minerva movement are in evidence on what is, nonetheless, a highly advanced chronograph calibre – as demonstrated by the absence of chronograph pushers. Thanks to an innovative mechanical function, the measurement of short elapsed times is activated via the fluted bezel: one click starts the chronograph, a second click stops it and a third resets to zero. This hidden feature also emphasises the traditional aesthetic of the watch, whose dial carries telemeter and tachymeter scales. 2023 marks the 165th anniversary of the Minerva manufacture and the centenary of its first wristwatch chronograph movement, Calibre 13.20. Reworked, it becomes the 13.21 movement inside this watch. Montblanc is releasing the Unveiled Timekeeper Minerva as two limited editions, in stainless steel with a white gold bezel and blue dial (100 pieces) and in Lime Gold with a green dial (28 pieces).
