Hands-on: The Montblanc 1858 Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph
This spring, Montblanc introduced the latest addition to the Unveiled Minerva series, the Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph. Like the 2022-2023 releases, the Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronographs, it showcases the beautiful mechanics of the underlying movement in an exciting and visually captivating way. The new Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph continues the inverted calibre concept with a fresh twist. We are happy to share our hands-on experience, allowing you to decide which version you prefer.The Case of Five WindowsThe new Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph is an openworked piece of horology.

In simplistic terms, it is a watch which, if kept wound, will never need manual intervention and will record time, day, date, month and the year. Ulysse Nardin comes with a new version of its?Perpetual Calendar GMT Manufacture, a platinum watch with blue dial made for its boutiques only.So what? Well, considering the varying number of days in the months, it's a pretty sophisticated feat of micro-engineering to translate that challenge into a mechanical solution so that the date is always corrected without changing it yourself.
