Montblanc focused its main developments at the annual Geneva fair this year on its heritage with its Villeret assortment, tributes to Nicolas Rieussec and the Timewalker.

"We want to strengthen our competence in mechanical manufactured timepieces. The Villeret assortment features our customised timepieces, while the Rieussec features our own movement and appeals to our classic target group. The Timewalker also features our own movement, but is for more contemporary target groups," saysreplica chanel watches, Montblanc's international marketing manager, watches.

With this being the 190th anniversary of the chronograph, first unveiled by its inventor Rieussec in Paris in 1821 and officially patented on March 9, 1822, Montblanc has issued the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Anniversary Edition. The novelty comes in platinum (25 pieces), white gold (90 pieces) and red gold (190 pieces). There will also be a standard unlimited stainless steel version.Montblanc first paid homage to Rieussec in 2008 with the Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph. One of the most outstanding features of the Rieussec chronographs, in keeping with the original Rieussec timepiece, is that the chronograph hands do not rotate above the dials but, instead, remain motionless while the seconds disc and minutes disc rotate.

Born in 1871, the Parisian established a watchmaking business at the age of 20 and studied with some of the top watchmakers of the time. He named his movement the chronograph, a combination of the Greek words chronos (time) and graphein (to write). Both watches and writing instruments form Montblanc's core business today.The new anniversary edition is its unmistakable face with the classique guilloche pattern and conspicuous main chronograph dials.

The off-centred hours circle, with black or white numerals, shows the time of day while the two chronograph discs are held in black by a V-shaped bridge at 6 o'clock.The MB R110 calibre movement that powers the timepiece is assembled from 263 individual parts and unites all the important features of the chronograph.The rapid-reset mechanism also makes it easy for travellers to adjust for different time zones and the twin barrels of the hand-wound movement allow for a 72-hour power reserve.

The watch is not the only Montblanc nod to Rieussec this year. At 33cm tall, 33cm wide and 22cm deep, the Nicolas Rieussec Horological Timewriter can house a table clock and an 18k rose gold watch from the Rieussec Chronograph Automatic Limited Edition. When fully equipped, the Timewriter weighs 19 kilogrammes."With the limited editions, we hope to strengthen the segment of Rieussec watches for Montblanc because these will be our iconic watches in the future," Diegelmann says.The brand will also release two Timewalker novelties this year with the TwinFly Chronograph and Chronograph Diamonds Automatic, featuring about 72 Wesselton diamonds with a total weight of approximately 1.16 carats.
