Montblanc has some really impressive novelties at SIHH this year. Three words defines the Montblanc TimeWalker World Time Hemispheres; concept, design, and execution. This pair of watches, are part of Montblanc’s sporty TimeWalker collection, the interesting thing is the unique way in which each displays world time zones.
Â
Instead of having surrounding dial with a rotating ring of cities, the Hemisphere watches, have a rotating disc at the center of the dial with an image of the Earth as seen from above a Pole with the Earth’s time zones.
The Northern Hemisphere watch has a silver dial while the Southern Hemisphere is gray with orange accents. The steel cases measures 42mm steel with brushed titanium bezels. Either can be had on a titanium and steel bracelet or a textile strap.
Is there a strategy behind this concept?
In that case perhaps a clever thing to do, to get the customers to buy both versions of the watch.
Price: $4900 on strap or about $5700 on bracelet.
