Montblanc came with a classic Exotourbillon, revealing some surprises:

- An elegant white gold case ( 42 mm big / 10, 14 mm high ) which justifies the appellation " Slim ". 

- An appealing hand painted dial. Or several, since you have the choice between the Asia, America and Europe versions.

 

- A tourbillon with a double arrow shaped bridge which reminded me a brand dear to my heart. wink

- Last but not least, a... Micro Rotor movement, the Cal 2924, with a generous size and a very reasonable height ( the movement, not the rotor: 30, 6 mm / 4, 50 mm high ), beating at 21600 alternances per hour, and offering a power reserve of 48 hours.

 
Another detail this movement has a stop second device. 

Place to the two live pictures I could take of the Asian version:

 



 
Some personal comments: 

I find the case, dial and movement nicely made. 

The movement has a pleasant " curved soleillé " decoration of the movement, even if I would have preferred to see more details of it. 

The case is top elegant. Maybe a thinner bezel would have been more à propos. 

The dial is very nice. I am not a fan of Tourbillons which make a hole in the dial, but this one is quite elegant. Now, I would have liked some more classic hands, like, for example, leaf shaped. 

What's your opinion? 

Best,

Nicolas

Exotourbillon

I still don't know what to exactly think about the concept of the Exotourbillon, I mean if I like it or not. In a way, I understand the interest to put the balance wheel out of the rotating case. BUT I find the tourbillon behaviour less appealing than a classic one since the balance wheel hides a bit the revolution of the cage. It remains a question mark for me. About the watches of the post, I was not that seduced and I much prefer the version without the maps and with the crown selector. Thank

Funny, I prefer this version to the one you mentioned with the crown selector. I find the dial of this last one...

A bit old looking, while the " Continents " are more modern looking. I do get your technical point, though. Best, and thanks for your feedback, Fx. Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, from the photos, I do like it mainly because ...

of painting of the map. I have a soft spot for artistic dials. At the end, it all depends on how the map looks in the metal. The proportion seems fine as well between the map and tourbillion. The price is also attractive given the functions. Montblanc continues to lure buyers by bringing down the prices for complications. This strategy makes one wonder how much better made complications are worth. The price to quality (brand value) rises at an increasing rate ! How steep the curve should be is t

I find it quite nice, to tell you all. Best, Nicolas
