Montblanc presenta una nuova versione del Villeret ExoTourbillon, orologio dotato di dispositivo tourbillon, funzioni di cronografo e GMT. Molto particolare è il dispositivo tourbillon stesso, che presenta il bilanciere (dotato di 18 viti di compensazione) fuori dalla gabbia, mentre quest’ultima compie un giro ogni quattro minuti. Ad ore 3 trova posto il contatore dei minuti crono (il cronografo è monopulsante, con il pulsante stesso coassiale alla corona), al 4 l’indicatore giorno/notte ed al 6 i secondi continui. Minuti orari e secondi crono sono indicati al centro, mentre al 6 trova posto l’indicazione delle ore, tramite due lancette, una in oro (ora locale) e l’altra in blu (ora di casa). Animato dal calibro MBM 16.60, meccanico a carica manuale, il Villeret ExoTourbillon Chronograph viene prodotto in una serie limitata di soli 16 pezzi, 8 in oro rosso e 8 in oro bianco (come in foto). Prezzo: 205.000 euro.
