Monochrome Monday: Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Gold Collection Debuts at SIHH 2015

In January 2014 Montblanc introduced an entirely new collection, called the Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage collection. This collection, with its classic design codes, is the first to incorporate everything that Montblanc as a watch brand has to offer — from very affordable and classically styled time-only, to the most affordable perpetual calendar on the market, to the Pulsograph with its stunning Villeret-made movement. Now, for SIHH 2015, the brand adds the Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Gold collection, with full Golden Replica Watches for UK starting just north of €6k.

During the exclusive Geneva watch fair in January, attendees were amazed — some even shocked — by the price of the Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Perpetual Calendar. And even the Meisterstück Heritage Pulsograph is (relatively speaking) a bargain at €27k. Now Montblanc adds several 39-mm gold models to the Meisterstück Heritage collection and, once again, the prices of these new models immediately catch the attention.

It is not only the prices that are worth noting, of course. The design of the Meisterstück Heritage collection is one of timeless, classic beauty, and the new gold models measure a comfortable 39-mm in diameter and are only 9 mm in height. Inside ticks a mechanical movement – referred to as MB 24.17 – that is made by Sellita. A similar movement is also used in the IWC Ingenieur Automatic that we at Omega Replica Watches For Sale reviewed for you last year. It’s a reliable, automatic-winding movement that delivers 42 hours of power reserve and comes with a date function.

Two Vintage Breguet Pocketwatches Added to the Brand’s Collection of Historic Timepieces

Montres Breguet added to its private collection of historically Significant Replica Watches, when brand president and CEO Marc A. Hayek acquired two important lots at a Christie’s Geneva auction last year: the Breguet no. 4039, a half-quarter repeating watch with an off-centered hour dial and date indication, and the extremely rare Breguet Tourbillon no. 1176.

The Top Watches of Rolex, the Breguet no. 4039, was originally sold to the Duke of Berwick on September 30, 1825, and went for a final auction price of  70,000 Swiss francs at Christie’s. It is a remarkable example of one of Abraham-Louis Breguet’s extra-slim repeating timepieces made “sur les principles des chronomètres” (on the principles of chronometers). The Breguet No. 4039 has a case made of 18K gold and is outfitted with the “Caliber 21”’” movement, with an additional complication for the date indication (in a window at 6 o’clock). It has an engine-turned silver dial with Roman numerals and the famous Breguet hands.

Breguet No. 4039 - frontThe second timepiece that Hayek acquired for Breguet may be even more exceptional. It is Abraham-Louis Breguet’s very first Best Breitling Replica Watches with a four-minute tourbillon, and only the third tourbillon watch that the master watchmaker ever made.
