Reply With Quoteseems to be generating a lot of interest on the web (based on the no. of articles my watchville app throws up).
I particularly like the idea of the snap-changing system & the supplied straps + bracelet.
Alas, also out of budget for me.
Love this, especially in blue! Easily interchangeable straps/bracelet and clever world time module too. Sadly a tad over budget for me

I like that. A lot. Time to raid the pension pot.
that is lovely
There really is a glut of world timers at the moment all riding on the success of the Patek 5131 it seems. Good times, they're all stunning!
The Montblanc Orbis Terrarum seems the best priced for what you get perhaps...
Nice but the price is ridiculous.
Although getting quarter timezones right mechanically must take some doing...
Tried it on earlier this year. Definitely on my wanted list and within budget. I think I prefer this 41mm one to the latest 43mm one with added colours, but it's a close call.Originally Posted by DB9yeti
Yes, it is an attractive watch but it is a blatant copy of the original VC World Time. The only reason that Mont Blanc can get away with producing a 'knock-off' is that it is also owned by Richemont.Tried it on earlier this year. Definitely on my wanted list and within budget.

Oh well, I can live with that.
I really like the MB - I've looked at it a number of times in airports.

Just be patient: like every Overseas before, nobody will care about it in ten years, and you'll be able to snag one for a realistic sum.
(Though just on principle, I wouldn't buy something with a dial that's so obviously a hack job, right down to the default Windows settings.)
I might be an idiot - it's entirely possible - but I'm looking at the dial on the VC and not really understanding the orientation of the map. Just me...?

Nice, thirty grand steel watch. What was it about the Swiss watch industry disappearing up its own fundament...?
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Given that there's already quite a lot going on with the bracelet and the bezel, that's all a bit much for me. The calm look of the ultra thin version appeals much more and seems to complement the bracelet and bezel better - but then I tend to prefer minimal uncomplicated watches, I guess others don't. The silver / grey version with the red text works best to my eye.
More Richemont...

Wonder how those in Central/South Africa and our Antipodean brethren feel about that dial?

The dial is based on an overhead view of the globe as seen from the great circle golden section. It was not specifically designed by JLC to make them feel unloved and unwanted!
