Are you ready to meet one of the most special chronographs of the 21st century? The newest member of the Heritage Pulsograph model family is getting ready to hit the market with its breathtaking beauty.
Everyone has an ideal watch design in mind. Tell me, what is the definition of "a beautiful watch" for you? When this question is addressed to me, I think about compact-sized, hand-wound, bi-compax chronograph watches. Hence, I like every watch that has those features I mentioned above. I try to make sense of why the watches with these specific features I mentioned are more pleasant to my eyes and my heart. Probably, those elegant watches, which were not affected by the oversized watches trend of recent years, remind me of the elegant gentlemen of the old times. Regarding the chronograph: it should be Bi-Compax. Simple yet complex at the same time! To give a little more detail, I have a special interest in complications that appeal to emotions rather than functionality in today's standards such as split-second or mono-pusher. When I add Breguet style numerals on the dial, I get a combination that I can push all the beauties of the “Haute Horlogerie” with the back of my hand. As I continue to dream, brands unwittingly introduce their new watches. A feeling inside tells me that I am close to the model of my dreams more than ever...
Montblanc Heritage Pulsograph is a very attractive yet confusing watch. The details of the watch are so harmonious with each other that it makes you enjoy the model as if you are looking at a beautiful view. Let me tell you about the technical specs. The model comes in an 18K red gold case measuring 40mm x 12.65mm. I would like to have this design in 38mm, which is more like a bridge between contemporary and vintage. The case is equipped with sapphire crystals on both sides and is water-resistant to 50 meters. The dial is finished in a dazzling brownish tobacco tone. The pulsograph style tachymeter scale and red-tipped chronograph second hand are small yet very stylish details.
A hand-wound mono-pusher chronograph movement manufactured by Minerva, which is owned by Montblanc, powers the model. 22 jewels Caliber MB M13.21 beats at 18000vph and offers a 55-hour power reserve. The movement’s beauty deserves to have an article of its own. At this point, my mind is starting to play small games for me. Did I love the watch as a whole? Or, is the breathtakingly beautiful movement capable of making every watch beautiful, with its bridges and wheels covered with pink gold?
While I was confused with those questions, the US$ 33,000 list price of the 100-limited model got me back to reality. Is it expensive? No way. Does it deserve this price? My answer is probably yes. Montblanc Heritage Manufacture Pulsograph Limited Edition Rose Gold is a rare model that fully meets the expectations of collectors with special requests. Therefore, we can say it gives you more than what you paid for.
