Montblanc TimeWalker Automatic Chronograph Watch For 2019

For SIHH 2019, Montblanc has announced several models including two new versions of their TimeWalker chronograph While it's funny that a difference of only 2mm can be a big deal in the watch world, the reduced size of the new Montblanc TimeWalker Automatic Chronograph is the most notable aspect of the new models While the in-house movements coming from Minerva are more interesting to me - such as the Manufacture version of the TimeWalker Chronograph Ariel discussed here - more affordable options like these new models have their place and merits.

Montblanc hasn't mentioned the case thickness for the new models, but since we have no indication to the contrary, it is safe to assume that they are powered by the same MB 25.07 automatic chronograph movements Those and their resulting watches tend to be on the thick side, but the new diameter should make the Montblanc TimeWalker Automatic Chronograph significantly more wearable for more wrists The new design with the more classic chronograph look of its now fixed tachymeter bezel makes me think of TAG Heuer's Carrera and priced just a bit below, it would make sense that that is the competition Montblanc is aiming at.

The Montblanc Timewalker Automatic Chronograph will be available online in June of 2019 for a USD price of $3,625, down a bit from the comparable 43mm models. . Source
