Watch Insider: Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 ExoTourbillon Rattrapante
Recently I had the opportunity to see the latest masterpiece from Montblanc’s Villeret collection, the 1858 ExoTourbillon Rattrapante, presented by new Montblanc CEO J��r?me Lambert. In this article, originally run on my blog, Watch Insider, I explore the watch and provide original photos and a short HD video.The Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 ExoTourbillon Rattrapante was one of the most spectacularly complicated timepieces at the Hong Kong “Watches and Wonders” watch fair, where it made its debut. It was developed by the chronograph specialists at the former Minerva, now a part of Montblanc, and offers a challenging new take on the rattrapante, the most complicated type of chronograph to produce.Unlike a conventional tourbillon, Montblanc's ExoTourbillon frees the large screw balance from the burden of the rotating cage. Rather than offering a mere chronograph, the new model contains a split-second chronograph with two column wheels and a classical double clamp.

Chronometer running 24/7?
Hello all-About to buy an Omega Speedmaster, and have some questions in regards to the chronometer (large looking second hand that can stay off or be pushed on). Can I let it run all the time? I was thinking I'd just let it run while awake, but then push it off when I go to sleep. It will be a co-axial movement. Any thoughts or concerns on the matter would be appreciated. Thank you!

Turned off by Bond-related marketing
Am I the only one? Companies have to advertise, but the blunt product placement in the movie and association of a product with a fictitious character make me cringe. Sorry, Omega, I won't be buying your Bond's choice any time soon.By the way, I am not an Omega basher by any means. Love my Speedy.
