Montblanc's new Heritage Manufacture Perpetual Calendar watch - classic and elegant, in a class of its own

Posted by lifata on February 6th, 2023

Perpetual calendar complication, one of the three traditional complex functions in the watchmaking industry. This complex mechanism was invented by the British watchmaker Thomas Mudge at the end of the 18th century. And the special aesthetic design occupies an important position in the watchmaking industry. In 2021, Montblanc fake will launch a limited edition of the new heritage series of self-made perpetual calendar luxury replica watches, interpreting a new aesthetic style in brown.

Montblanc's self-made perpetual calendar complication took three years to develop and was launched before 2019. In 2021, a brown version was added to this watch. Montblanc's perpetual calendar is quite special, unlike most pusher-type perpetual calendar devices, it is only composed of several gears and cams, and its two-way adjustment function of the crown cannot be realized by using a pusher.

The watch is made of 18K rose gold and is decorated with polishing technology. Its delicacy can be seen from the side. The warm metallic luster adds luxury to the watch.

The crown can be seen on the side, engraved with the classic Montblanc Swiss Fake Watches LOGO logo, and the anti-slip texture design is adopted around the crown, which is convenient for the wearer to adjust.

The dial is treated with two different textures, with a sunray pattern in the center and a grained hour marker ring. In order to create a special gradient effect, the dial is carefully smudged and colored after adding decorations, and then several layers of translucent paint are brushed on the dial, and each layer is brushed for a period of time to allow the paint to dry completely. Only in this way can it present a gradient effect with obvious effects and strong contrasts, which is very pleasing to the eye and reminds people of the unique charm of classic Minerva timepieces.

The three small dials are arranged in an orderly manner on the dial, which can display the date, week, month, and leap year. The small dial at 9 o'clock can also display 24-hour indication, and the moon phase display at 6 o'clock. The rose gold-plated moon phase comes to life, surrounded by a starry sky. In addition to the double hands indicating hours and minutes in the center of the large dial, there is also an 18K rose gold-plated curved hollow pointer, which can indicate the time in the second time zone.

The patent-protected in-house movement MB 29.22 consists of 378 components, 259 of which are used for the perpetual calendar function. Turning to the back of the watch, we can clearly appreciate the appearance of the movement. The hollow pendulum swings back and forth, and can provide about 48 hours of power storage for the watch when it is fully wound.

The brown smudged alligator leather strap caters to the overall elegant and retro style of the watch, adding a charming charm.

This limited edition of the new heritage series self-made perpetual calendar watch reminds us of the legendary Minerva timepieces from the 1940s to 1950s, slowly coming in time and space, recreating the elegance of a generation of legendary timepieces for us. Montblanc's new heritage series self-made perpetual calendar watch limited edition is limited to 100 pieces worldwide.
