Good fun!
I don't see the TimeWriter series moving away from chronographs, as they would have to change the name! Still, there are so many possibilities. I would love to see a mechanical digital chronograph chronometer perpetual calendar. Note, the chronometer part is important as I would then expect hacking seconds ;-)
Let's have some fun guessing what TimeWriter 3 will be...
There will be a special prize from me to you for the most interesting guess. Looking through various databases, I found this picture from an old abstract dated 2009 from various people associated with Minerva/Montblanc. Interesting that it looks sort of l...
Really curious here...
That's a great question Mike! Now I'm really curious too! Looking forward to some of the best guesses for TimeWriter 3! I'd be a little surprised if they didn't have some sort of chronograph component to the watch. The question is, if they were to integra...

How about just a digital chronograph?
That's a good idea, but I'd be happy with just a digital chronograph. The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 3 has an interesting digital chronograph with digital minutes display. I like your idea!
Interesting blueprint
as today we have both in a watch, the minute repeater and the normal hour displays with the hour+minutes hands. It seems that, here, we have a redundant MR time display: the minute repeater rings while the hands show the hours, the quarters and the minute...
TimeWriter Ethos
The TimeWriter Ethos has always been about presenting the chronograph in a very unique way. I'd expect the watch to be mostly time-only, but to have some sort of fairly elaborate chronograph. So now I'm wondering, maybe it's a chronograph repeater with a ...
A repeater that tells...
the time shown by the chronograph ? If that's what you're thinking about yes, it would be quite unique!
That would be difficult...
That would be difficult. I was just thinking a chiming watch that would chime after each minute passed on the chronograph. Basically a chronograph that chimed each passing minute it was operating. But your idea would be even more difficult and elaborate. ...
