Montblanc TimeWriter 1 Metamorphosis Watch Transforms
There was a lot of excitement at Montblanc in Geneva for this watch. They only had one of them?at SIHH and it was in a case. Still a prototype but I got to check it out a bit. In a nutshell, you press down on a lever on the left side of the case and the watch dial magically transforms into something else. Not only does the look change, but more importantly the functions do as well. One face shows the time (regulator style with?retrograde minutes) and the date, while the second style is a chronograph.In the included video you can wait through most of it or skip ahead near the end when they discuss and show some rather funtastic special effects of the TimeWriter 1 Metamorphosis watch.

Change of tide in supply?
In one of my local ADs windows yesterday,the following;Steel LN GMT IIBoth Polar and Black Explorer IIsTWO! Milgauss GVsBoth Black and Blue Bimetal SubsBimetal GMT (the black one,Not the new one )Bimetal black DaytonaI have not seen this selection all at once in a Yorkshire AD in a very long time.Not seen a steel GMT in an ADs window in over two years!Note these are all brand new and the AD in question doesn't put 'spoken for' watches in the window.Things have got that bad up 'ere' that even bimetal Subs and GMTs were a rare sight,is this a fluke or a sign that things are improving?Did not make a difference to me as it will be a few years before I consider whether I want another Rolex.Guess that is the result of buying my grail,two years in with my 18ct sub and honeymoon still isn't over
