DEBUTS
On the complicated Girard-
Perregaux Cosmos,a
terrestrial globe serves as a
day/night indicator, while a
sky chart takes its place at 9
o’clock.
MONTBLANC
1858 SPLIT SECOND CHRONOGRAPH
My glee at seeing the new, green-dialed examples of
the Montblanc 1858 collection (including the Geosphere,
Automatic Chronograph and Automatic) was only
amplified by the introduction of this black-dialed model,
a beautiful bronze-cased update of a vintage Minerva
design. The so-called ‘Collector Piece’ of the 1858 line,
the 44mm watch is a monopusher chronograph powered
by the slow-beat MB M16.31, an awe-inspiring caliber
that, when viewed from the back of this watch, will
inspire just as many sighs as the vintage-tinged dial.
Price: $31,000.
With the new
Tourbillon Amadéo
Fleurier Virtuoso IX,
Bovet again creates
a complex tourbillon
movement with a host
of functions in the
convertible 46.3mm
Amadeo case.
