Tech Talk: Montblanc’s TimeWriter II Chronographe Bi-Fr��quence 1000
If three watches constitute a trend, then measuring milliseconds, or 1/1,000s of a second, is a trend. Two watch brands, each with high-speed horological histories, have launched mechanical chronographs claimed to be capable of accurately measuring 1/1,000s of a second. Last year, TAG Heuer debuted its Mikrotimer Flying 1000 Concept Chronograph, followed this year by the even faster Mikrogirder. At SIHH this year, Montblanc launched its own millisecond-measuring marvel, the TimeWriter II Chronograph Bi-Fr��quence 1000, which employs a unique approach to splitting seconds.In a sense, development of Montblanc's high-speed chronograph began in 1916. That's when Minerva launched its first 1/100s-of-a-second stopwatch. Acquired by Richemont in 2006, Minerva was a true manufacture, known for chronographs and pilots' watches. In 2007, Richemont decided that Minerva would produce movements for Montblanc, and the following year, Montblanc launched the Fondation Minerva to create the TimeWriter

Switching Speedy Dials?
Does anyone know if a 1861 dial would fit/work with a 861 movement? Specifically, I'd like to put a panda dial in my speedy. I have a 1978 861 movement. I noticed that Ofrei is selling a panda dial (here: .ofrei/page343.html) and states, Used on Model number 3570.21.00 with case number 145.0022 Is this a feasible option?Alternatively,Would the Appollo 11 dial fit in the 861 and if so, does anyone know where I might be able to find one?Thanks for the help.

I must admit...I'm confused
What are Rolex and Tudor doing? BB Fifty-Eight? I mean it's basically a re-do of the original Turdor Sub and a cheaper alternative to a Rolex Sub. And the Tudor GMT Pepsi? I mean...is this just a money grab since the recent boom in popularity of the GMT Pepsi? Further, I think it's silly for anyone to say the Sub is better. How better. $4k better for a SS model? Are the differences really that vast? Isn't it like comparing a car that goes 0-60 in 5 seconds vs. one that goes 0-60 in 4? How many people really need that 1 second?Can anyone say GMC and Cadillac? I guess there's a market for both...
