If you want to become an iconic classic, the watch itself must be unique enough to form its own rich history for people to explore and taste. This is naturally the case with the Kalpa collection-designed by Michelle Parmigiani in 1997, it has extended many beautiful models to date. Over the past year, the Kalpa XL Hebdomadaire Anniversaire watch made from a stainless steel body with a pure gold movement has been popular. With this momentum, this new work adds a glorious new chapter to the rich history of the classic Kalpa series that it belongs to-this series always knows how to satiate and make people eager. The Kalpa XL Hebdomadaire is driven by the PF 110 manual winding movement, with a barrel-shaped appearance and a beaded silhouette. This self-developed dual barrel movement guarantees a power reserve of 8 days and is equipped with a patented display system. Itabashi uses a semi-circular shape that is repeatedly overlapped to create a strong aesthetic. The appearance of this appearance benefits from a unique cutting process that enables more complex processing and allows for more internal corners. In addition, the balance wheel is decorated with ‘Geneva ripples’ and is equipped with a gooseneck device; the bridge is also hand-chamfered and polished-subtle details and so on prove the high standards of Parmigiani.

   Rose gold case with silver-yellow two-tone transparent enamel dial, the dial is divided into 12 areas. The choice of materials and colors is intended to play a synergistic role to maximize the beauty of the watch. The rose gold tone of the case is not only rich and luxurious, but also permeates the dial with amber, which gives the Kalpa XL Hebdomadaire a unique combination of colors. In order to achieve the concept of ‘perfect proportion’ cherished by Michel Parmigiani, the indicators at the top and bottom of the dial are balanced and harmonious with each other, which is impeccable. This watch is unique in its tonneau-shaped appearance, but this pursuit of harmony exudes its stunning beauty. Sophisticated modern-style numerals, solid gold hour-markers, and neat numbers around the small seconds dial—all these designs guarantee excellent readability and complete the vibrant dial.

   Ergonomic design, super long power reserve for outstanding practicality, self-confidence and exquisite elegance, this is the Kalpa XL Hebdomadaire watch.

Montblanc’s Nicolas Kasch single-button chronograph is one of Montblanc’s most representative models. Its unique faceplate design, eccentric main dial and chronograph sub-dial layout are absolutely impressive. Unforgettable and recognizable.

   And this year, Montblanc launched the new Nicolas Kasch single-button chronograph, again paying tribute to the French watchmaker Nicholas Kasch who first invented the ink-drop chronograph in 1821.

   Compared with its predecessor, the new watch (model: 118537) draws inspiration from Minerva pocket watches. The newly designed round case diameter is 44.8 mm. The redesigned silver dial has a more harmonious layout and details. The controls are also more detailed, making the entire watch more elegant. The watch is equipped with Montblanc’s own MB R200 winding movement.

   A new blue halo-coated alligator leather strap by Montblanc Pelletteria in Florence, Italy, with a triple folding clasp.

   The case is polished and rounded. At 8 o’clock, there is a one-button timing button. One-button operation starts, stops and returns to zero.

   Domed eccentric hour scale and titanium chronograph. The redesigned black Arabic numerals have a more slender font, and a precision rail-shaped minute scale circle surrounds the eccentric main dial. The classic blue willow-shaped hands complete the dial’s shape, and the second time zone time can be displayed by the hollow hands in the center of the off-center main dial. The date window is at 6 o’clock. The two chronograph dials use horizontally arranged discs, with the left rotating disc for 60 seconds and the right disc for 30 minutes. The fixed blue hands at both ends indicate the chronograph scales of the two chronograph dials.
   Through the sapphire crystal glass on the case back, the modern beauty of the self-winding single-button chronograph movement MB R200 is unobstructed, and the movement parts are decorated with exquisite hand-polished treatment. The vertical clutch device that connects the transmission mechanism with the column wheel structure can ensure the smooth running of the chronograph function and effectively avoid the minute jump of the chronograph second hand when the chronograph starts. The movement’s dual barrels provide a power reserve of up to 72 hours.

Summary: As one of Montblanc’s most representative models, many people immediately think of Nicholas Kays single-button chronograph when they mention Montblanc watches. This new watch’s appearance changes the details to make the watch more refined and elegant, which is very suitable for business people.
