Christian Gafner, an industrial designer who never before designed a watch, has to be credited for the ‘fly-under-the-radar’ design that goes together so well with what’s under the ‘hood’.

The universe of Montblanc watches is composed of two totally different categories. First are the classic watches, with “accessible luxury” positioning, like this handsome new chronograph. And then, there are the dream machines, the watches that are produced in-house with hand-finished, historical Minerva chronograph movements, like this 1858 Monopusher.
