Montblanc takes a fresh look at its Star Legacy Full Calendar watch with a new movement that makes the setting of the calendar far easier through two pushers, instead of the previous four. There are also a host of enhanced features, including a wider moon phase aperture, better legibility of the day and month apertures, and improved 50-hour power reserve and 50-meter water resistance.
The brand full calendar is among the Maison’s best-selling watch complications, reflecting a need to track the time, days, and months that dates back to the earliest civilizations, and continues today in an elegant and timeless way.
The Montblanc Star Legacy Full Calendar watch doesn’t only find its inspiration in the human invention of the measurement of time, but also in the design elements from historical Minerva pocket watches from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Maison’s archives show the existence of numerous international orders from the railway companies of the time whose employees needed both precision and legibility in their timekeepers to ensure the safe operation of their trains.
The watch first catches the eye with its aesthetic design codes that indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds that are combined with the day, date, month and moon phase in a simple and elegant way.
The design codes of this practical timepiece are directly rooted in the spirit of fine watchmaking and draw upon the 165 years of Minerva heritage. All the codes of the Montblanc Star Legacy collection are present, including a railway track with dots, a filet sauté that runs around the periphery of the dial, a date hand with a red half-moon tip, an elegant Montblanc emblem on the counterweight of the second hand, and the iconic Montblanc exploding star guilloché pattern.
The Montblanc Star Legacy Full Calendar models come in a stainless-steel bracelet for the Roman numeral version, or a choice of a stainless-steel bracelet or a blue Sfumato alligator leather strap with a semi-matt finish for the other models.
Montblanc is available at Rustans Makati, Rustans Shangri-La, Rustan’s Cebu, Greenbelt 5, City of Dreams and Resorts World.
