Showing at WatchTime New York 2018: Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph

WatchTime New York, America's luxury watch show, returns to the Big Apple in October! As we count down to the big event, taking place at Manhattan's Gotham Hall on October 26-27, we continue to showcase many of the new timepieces that guests will discover there This week, we preview the limited edition, green-dialed version of the Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph The watch is one of several new pieces from the revamped 1858 collection, which takes its name from the founding year of Minerva, the historically acclaimed maker of chronographs that was acquired by Richemont and absorbed into Montblanc in 2006.

With 2018 marking Minerva's 160th anniversary, Montblanc has incorporated many of its historic design codes into this modern collection, along with a "Mountain exploration" theme The movement, visible through a sapphire caseback, is Montblanc's Caliber MB13.21, designed as a modern successor to the Minerva chronograph Caliber 13.20, launched in 1920, which was among the very first manually wound monopusher chronograph movements developed for use in wristwatches The watch, whose full name is Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph Limited Edition 100, comes on a green alligator leather strap, made at the Montblanc Pelleteria in Florence, Italy, which harmonizes with the dial.
