While it is gratifying to see, carry or use something familiar, it is not enough. If you go beyond the leaked route, there is plenty of joy in things that break the form, rewrite the rule book or throw out overall. This can be applied to the ever popular mechanical chronograph clock, which usually has a bi- or tricompaxed layout, which is determined by movements such as the omnipresent Valjoux 7750. But what if you want something or something else? Don't worry because these six non -conventional chronographs soothe their hunger for unusual displays and movements.
Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieeussec
Montblanc's convincing Star Legacy Nicolas Rieeussec is a tribute to the timelines of namesake from 1821, which was developed for time separation. The unique system uses two rotating discs with a joint fixed pointer in the lower half, started, stopped and reset by a single handle. The upper half shows the time, including a second time zone and a day/night indicator. All of this is shown on a green Clous de Paris dial and driven by Montblanc's own automatic chronograph movement. Wear on a veal leather leather band and in retail for 8,300 EUR.

The term is displayed at the top left, whereby the chronograph counter at 3 'and 6'. Another unconventional element is protective crown protection with the chronograph pressers on both sides.
