The concept behind it isn’t anything new – Vacheron Constantin currently produces a very similar, if higher-end, interpretation called the Traditionnelle World Time (to pick just one example, and the basic principle goes all the way back to Louis Cottier's original invention of 1931, which he produced for, among others, Patek Philippe) but Montblanc’s first attempt, its audition piece, was still very well executed and deservedly nominated for the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève a few short months after its release. Now onto the performance piece.
