Case thickness pretty much the same
hi Anthony
The regular automatic Nicolas Rieussec have a case height or thickness of 14.8mm with a case diameter of 43mm
This new Heritage Chronometrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph is 44mm (slighter bigger case) with a case thickness of 14.79mm (I would say same as the automatic regular Rieussecs).
The thickest Rieussec in regular production should be the Rising Hour at 15.3mm
cheers
Robin

The Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Collection Part 3
On the first two parts of my series introducing the new Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie collection, I touched on the inspiration of the new collection, which is derived from the heritage of chronometric precision from Minerva as well as the design cues fr...
Thanks a lot Robin for this wrap-up!
The Worldtimer is a winner this year! I understand why you can't wait for it! Fx
Arghhh I really can't wait! :p
Once I get it, I am going to share alot of thoughts and pictures here! :)) Thanks Fx! Cheers robin
That's another nice overview article Robin
I must say I don't have a clear idea of all the famillies in the Montblanc's catalogue and this helps to see a little better how it is organized. I have a soft spot for this complete calendar watch, it has a nice style and looks very well balanced (on the...
Interesting point Mark
On the complete calendar vs annual calendar. I agree the annual calendar's movement is a tad small for the case and wished the case could be made smaller as mentioned. Another factor is date and day aperture vs sundials. I personally prefer subdials to ap...
Is the Meisterstück watch line dead?
Robin, Thanks for part 3 of the Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Collection. It explains the Collection positioning in the Montblanc watch portfolio. Is the Meisterstück watch line cancelled? I like this watch you showed..... It seems the most useful in th...
The Meisterstuck Heritage line launched in 2014
Is still in production just that the line has been renamed to Heritage Spirit collection. Last year some PuristS here actually commented that having a watch line with the word Meisterstuck may not be good for Montblanc as Montblanc seeks to establish itse...
I remember your comment
In your review of last year's Heritage Pulsogaph - to cut the link with the fountain pen. I think you were heard my friend :) Cheers Robin
Thanks for this wonderful preview
Quick question - how is the thickness of the ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph? A tad thicker than a Nicolas Rieussec chrono or almost the same? The MB R230 movement looks pretty thick in that picture. Cheers, Anthony
