The Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph celebrates 100 years of Montblanc’s famous Meisterstück writing instrument with design elements from the iconic fountain pen. Limited to 500 pieces, the timepiece comes in a 43 mm stainless steel case with an interchangeable black calf leather strap with alligator print. The black dial is adorned with luminescent printing that reveals a blueprint of the writing instrument dated from 1920 and plans from the dimension table from the Montblanc snowcapped emblem that can be found on the tip of every Meisterstück cap and on the crown of Montblanc timepieces. The significant 4810, intrinsically connected to Meisterstück can also be found on the dial, above the two rotating domed chronograph discs. A host of golden touches on the dial combined with the stainless steel of the case also recall the bicolour design of the Meisterstück’s nib. By turning the timepiece over, the oscillating weight of the Manufacture monopusher chronograph movement MB R200 can be observed through the caseback, revealing a nod to the world of handwriting with a delicate 8; a symbol inspired by calligraphy movements.
