That's not cosmic dust
KMII,
Thanks for the review.
When I saw the photo, my initial though was: "He should have wiped the dust off the glass,"
Then, I realised it was not dust on the glass but the cosmic highlights on aventurine dial.
I like the Rieussec chronograph layout that works well for that model but adding a tourbillon is distracting.
The good news is that the tourbillon does not affect the reading of the chronograph counters.
Overall, with that Montblanc Star diamond and the cosmic dust, I think this is a "fun piece" to be brought out for special occasions rather than a daily wearer.
Regards,
MTF

Nevertheless, I regret that all the sub dials are too concentrated and a too small ExoTourbillon for the case size of this timepiece in my opinion. It’s a little bit like if Montblanc didn’t know which element of its watch they wanted to highlight (Aventu...
I see what you mean...
The overall R200 architecture only allows for a certain layout, I guess. Do you prefer the overall balance of the TimeWalker ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph, which uses the same movement? Thanks for your input, Alkiro!
Dilemma indeed :)
And one easier to solve without a chronograph complication, as shown by the Slim...
I love your reviews.
Not just thorough, but you make interesting points when you compare the watch under the microscope with others from the same brand; or with similar complications.

Thanks for your thoughts, MTF!
Definitely agree with you in your verdict - fun piece for special moments! And on the issue of the tourbillon being a tad distracting while not harming the chronograph readability at the same time.
