Introducing: The Montblanc Heritage Chronom¨¦trie Collection Twincounter Date
Yesterday we talked about the new Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Annual Calendar Chronograph, and today we are taking a look at the new Montblanc Chronométrie Collection Twincounter Date wristwatch – an equally elegant, well-made, and affordable watch to be officially released at SIHH in a few weeks.? 1 OF 2 Montblanc, as you may know, has had quite a major resurgence in recent years in their design and quality. They have released some pretty cool watches of late, including the 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter, the Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Geosphères Vasco da Gama, and the Heritage Chronométrie Quantième Annual Calendar. As Ben mentioned yesterday, Montblanc CEO Jerome Lambert pulls a lot of his inspiration from his time at Jaeger LeCoultre and A. Lange & Söhne, and that is apparent in the design

SMP non-xo-axial, or new Bond?
What would you do?From my local AD I can get an SMP old stock non-co-axial for $1,600 CDN (discounted off the $2,300 retail); or the new co-axial Bond for $2,900 or so.For overall look and lume, I prefer the SMP, with the sword hands and bar indices. However, the round indices and skeleton Bond hands are growing on me.The movement is what is troubling me mostly. Is the co-axial worth the money effectively?I already have a 2-year old PO black 45 mm, which I bought off a buddy, so I already have the co-axial.I know I can count on you guys for some sage advice. Or if not sage, something entertaining!

TiCN
I seen and had to have the SUNOO7 also. I have some questions what is the TiCN coating and after wearing for 2 days the power reserve does not go over 5 min. is this normal?ThanksBrian

Urban J¨¹rgensen: the first detent escapement made for a wristwatch
Among all of the so-called ¡®free¡¯ escapements, the detent escapement, which appeared during the 18th century, is considered one of the Grails of chronometric precision. Historically, the role of the detent escapement in the search for chronometry is more important even than that played by the tourbillon. Yet, we find it mostly in marine chronometers, where it is mounted on gimbals since one of its major weak points, or more precisely its primary weak point, is its great sensitivity to shocks. This is undoubtedly one of the reasons why this historical escapement had been confined to marine chronometers until now.And now, a new version of the detent escapement has been designed specifically for a wristwatch: the Chronometer UJS08, by Urban J¨¹rgensen & S?hner.Exceptional chronometry to make smaller¡­In comparison to the traditional Swiss lever escapement, the detent escapement has a few notable differences, which allow it to have the best mechanical performance of all the free escapeme
