Montblanc

Last year, Montblanc surprised us with the Unveiled Secret and the Red Arrow. This year, there is another version of the Unveiled Secret, but I would like to first focus on the real novelty of this year, which is, in my opinion, one of the most surprising...  

The execution lacks refinement. The bezel is too big and the interesting actuation mechanism isn't worth the big size delta and off-looking proportions. The monopusher version is much more wearable and aesthetically pleasing.

Do you know what the significance is of the years on the back of the case? I find them a bit distracting, even with beautiful movement to grab my attention.

How much time does it take to start or stop the chronograph? And is it possible to stop the restart it, or only to progress start - stop - reset? Best E.

I like that they are thinking outside the box with this mechanism. Overall I don't like the design cue which began last year with the knurled bezel. I guess there is some historical precedent here. The case size is a few mm too big... they could have gone... 

The case and bezel both appear large as compared to the dial but I pretty much like the design on the back of the case. The blue prints of the years of significance which may be distractful to some but they have served the purpose of making the 16.21 move... 

I really prefer the more refined cases of their 2006-2015 pieces (that's why I have got some of them)

42.5 mm is a bit large for this movement. The 16.x movement series offered aesthetic benefits plus the crown monopusher. Always felt the sub 40 mm case sizes afforded by the 13.x movement were an advantage, not a disadvantage. On the other hand, it's very... 

but would have prefered a pusher instead of the bezel thing.

is a deal killer for me. The movement is a 10. So are the dial and hands. Oh well. 😀

Thank you, Sir.

I still love it anyway 😁
