Our final outside contender comes from the Swiss-made, German-born house of Montblanc, which relies on the chronograph maestros at the erstwhile Minerva headquarters
link in Villeret for its multitude of split-seconds offerings. We've seen a number of rattrapante releases from Montblanc
link in recent years, all executed in a
link very traditional technical manner, with a single pusher and a gorgeous hand-decorated manually wound movement.
