Hands-On: The Montblanc Heritage Chronom��trie Annual Calendar Chronograph (Live Pics)
The more time I spend in watches, the less interested I become in what the industry calls "halo" pieces. You know, those mega-comps that cost as much as a home in downtown New York, that you hear about exactly twice – when announced at Basel or SIHH, and when they sell at auction for a fraction of their original retail price.
