Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph 43mm Limited Edition

The watch is presented as a highly detailed and theatrical timepiece, designed to be a conversation starter rather than a discreet accessory.

The dial depicts a 19th-century illustration of four jockeys and their horses crossing the finish line on the Champ-de-Mars circuit in Paris.
The watch features rose-gold-coated Arabic numerals, leaf hands, pinion covers, screws, and a matching lozenge-shaped chronograph bridge.
The chronograph function utilizes two rotating brown domed discs for 60-second and 30-minute scales, indicated by a double-tapered bridge with a luminous pip.
The brown calf leather strap's lining displays an 1821 map of Paris, and its pointed shape is inspired by Montblanc's pen nibs.
The in-house MB R200 monopusher chronograph caliber features a column wheel, vertical clutch, and two barrels in series.
The movement's rotor is decorated with a Clous de Paris motif, alongside Côtes de Genève, blued screws, and polished bevels.
