Happy New Years...the full reveal
May 2013 bring everyone peace and prosperity...
Perhaps this new Rieussec as well
Montblanc will debut "The Rising Hours" at SIHH 2013
We will talk more about this over the next few days and discuss how it works.
Enjoy, Mike
PS- Sorry to keep you guys waiting...Somehow the Chinese guy ended up with Christmas and New Years shifts at work this year :-(

Ah ha! Day-Date Chronograph with Wandering Hours: a wonderful addition to the Rieussec stable :-) The dial is very elegant and subdued on the gold version. I see my impression that the main time dial was offset was merely a photo effect.
A "Rising" Rieussec

The term "Rising" reveals all. The numerals for the day, hours, and date progress upwards towards the heavens, although once spent, the hours must inevitably fall back to earth, only to rise again when a new day is born. The story of mankind in a watch!
Hmmm

I see it's got two discs in the hours, one in the background for the day/night indicator which rotates every 24 hours and one in the foreground for the hour numbers which rotates every 12 hours. A beautiful warm piece.
You've got it Patrick!

The main hour disc has only 12 hours, so the colored disc underneath is used to indicate day or night, ie, "6 blue" is 6am and when it comes around again the colored disc moves to black for 6pm. I wonder if sunrise/sunset are arbitrary at 6:30 or user-adj...
