He wanted a piece of clothing that merged, while, simplicity and elegance in this watch brings together these two maxims, discreet, sophisticated and architectural sense.

For me, in addition to the influence that each may have a preference for aesthetic or other, a clock does not stop being a complement to dress, and that influences a greater or lesser extent, but influences the choice of a clock based on the clothes we wore and activity that we will perform.

0068_P1050441_zps515c01e7.jpg


Purists little talk of watchmaking tradition of the brand, and will be right ... owned by Richemont, as IWC and Jaeger-LeCoultre, it has a great story, watch, ... but we are talking about a company with a century-old crafts undeniable, but let's watch itself ...

Historia
Montblanc, a legendary name in the history of writing, write time now thanks, among other models, reflecting Timewalker indelible Meisterstück characterized by its writing instruments.

0016_P1050118_1_zps877afcb4.jpg


Montblanc decided to enter the watch industry in 1997 was a brave, but with a deep knowledge of the luxury market and confidence in their skills within that market. But ... Where to put the ink? ".

0060_P1050197_zps279952ec.jpg


If you have started your business Montblanc watches (because let's face it, that's what it is) as a stranger I would not have had the same success.

0018_P1050127_zpsf139e4e2.jpg


Montblanc will take a few years yet to pass the edge of the sword, that is, they are simply regarded as the deluxe instrument manufacturer known in the world of writing in a watch factory granjee respect that they hold other major brands. .

Reloj
The Montablanc Timewalker Automatic is one of these little gems. With an incredibly simple, almost no elements that perform a specific function within the clock.
0036_P1050480_zps5c228e18.jpg


The Timewalkers feel good, is one of those rare watches that offer considerably large ergonomics dress watch. The classic and contemporary crossover design, allows feel superbly with a shirt or dress shirt.

0030_P1050193_zps6fa4031f.jpg


On the wrist the watch is comfortable and has a calming influence. This excellent tactile sensation is coupled to a clean line design and present ..

0020_P1050122_zpsa83c36e2.jpg


But what is really amazing about this piece is the design of it, the box has a rounded, skeletonized handles, is a clock and clear architectural forms, is the domed sapphire crystal with double AR mod has remained Gen.

Dial
The silver dial radiates a subtle effect to influence the sunlight or any light source, and is perfectly polished hands and Arabic numerals to create a monochromatic look with a high level of readability.

0022_P1050427_zps40510780.jpg


What immediately obvious are the numbers used in Contemporary Arab hour markers. It is the elegance and ease of reading, two attributes are not easy to merge

handsrd_zpsaa0956f9.jpg


The single source for dialing. Montblanc managed properly design the numbers provided and easy to read but stylish and modern look .. Note that the numbers are the same width and height

numbersdate_zps901b2a9c.jpg


All hands are finished with polished finish and center seconds, moves with fruidez without appreciating any jumping or jerky motion
The date display is discrete like the text on the dial minimum

0060_P1050496_zps5e683cf1.jpg


Lumen
In contrast to most dress watches, hands hours, minutes and hours plot points have small lumen green time to read in low light, but it will not dazzle, literally or metaphorically.

0014_P1050108_zps4dbd914d.jpg


Corona
The crown has a nice textured checkered pattern and good size allowing easy grip for winding and setting the time.

0044_P1050454_zps07cec2b0.jpg


Signing the resin Montblanc white star "Cabouchon" slightly oversized, decorated and topped crown. Other engineering reflective touch notch is cut into the base of the crown to facilitate removal.

0024_P1050490_zps6f92c149.jpg


caja
The stainless steel case measures 42x13.3mm. I especially like the bowl-shaped legs supported by short and gently curved.

0047_P1050434_zpse37f5451.jpg


Sideburns skeletonized with opposite surfaces brushed and polished outside add to the modern elegance of the watch.

0062_P1050464_zps80a3d7e0.jpg


0064_P1050467_zpscb260018.jpg


cleverly designed, with slightly domed sapphire crystal, mix with steel bevel angle, giving a look to the box and rounded ergonomic. And a feeling of more size.

0058_P1050095_zps460c113b.jpg

Hebilla
On a positive note is that the buckle is skeletonized in the sides and is a distinctive design. Skeletonization of the buckle is also large enough to facilitate cleaning of dirt or debris accumulate in this area

0032_P1050474_zpsbdc24c31.jpg


The screws that simulate holding the strap and buckle has a unique signature star-shaped Montblanc.

0034_P1050476_zpsd3067fe0.jpg


The strap is 22 mm in the watch case, decreasing to 20 mm on the buckle, is 4 mm thick and slightly tapers in the buckle.

0054_P1050493_zpsd967cf1d.jpg


Conclusión
This is a piece to add to our collection that sum, while the kind of exquisite detail and finish.

0052_P1050488_zpsba376c7f.jpg


Just as the Meisterstuck fountain has become a cult object, watches the White Star, the time to show us the essentials of the town: time for ideas, feelings, culture and things well made.

Excellent post. This is a real jewel - first class elegance. I absolutely love the Mont Blanc; I have two in my collection. I don't understand why it is not more desirable. Thank you very much for posting this on RWI.

I really like the Montblancs too. Especially their black DLC TwinFly model. It's gorgeous.

Rep Montblanc straps are notoriously terrible. Your best bet is to get on the eBay or one of the Trusted Strap Makers here, get your measurements and make the requisite purchase. Most rep Montblancs have the star ends for screws -- do not touch them! There are push release pins behind them, take them out and your buckle can find a new home.

I'm sold on this one and i'm almost confused: Did he just review a rep, or is this a gen?!

Also, which other model is as closely repped? The chrono version?
