Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph Open Date Watch: A Luxurious “Time Writer” With A Skeleton Dial

The Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph watch was a show-stopper for Montblanc in 2008, demonstrating the brand’s serious foray into the “Manufacture” realm as well as offering a surprising interpretation of the chronograph as it was originally envisioned. In 2009, the Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph becomes even more attractive, thanks to an alluring skeleton dial that reveals some of the fascinating mechanism.

For those who may have missed it, the Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph watch departs noticeably from most mechanical chronographs on the market, in that elapsed time is displayed not by a hands that travels a subdial, but by discs that rotate beneath stationary hands–spiritually inspired (minus any ink!) by the concept of the chronograph as first invented by Monsieur Rieussec in the 19th century.

Lovers of fine detail–an unspoken requirement of any true luxury timepiece–probably couldn’t find much to fault with the first edition of the Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph watch. Certainly though, the new Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph Open Date model reveals new dimensions of a noteworthy timepiece, giving a substantive Montblanc debut added panache.
