In celebration of its minerva movement maker’s 150th jubilee year, montblanc introduced the special edition Villeret 1858 line of timepieces in
2007, which represent the company’s highest level of specialized craftsmanship and finishing. In the new Grand Tourbillon Heures mystérieuses,
limited to only eight pieces each in either white or rose gold, and just one piece in platinum, the tourbillon takes center stage, occupying an
enormous part of the dial. placed at 12 o’clock, the tourbillon functions in a case of its own, detached from the movement, making it as prominent
as the time display below ($252,700).
