From the past to the future: with the recent prese From the past to the future: with the recent presentation of the 1858 Monopusher Chronograph Origins Montblanc highlights (once more) the rich legacy of its Minerva atelier of specialities. Housed in a 46mm bronze/titanium ‘officer’ case the charming, large and lavishly finished monopusher chronograph movement MB M16.29 shows essentially the best what traditional watchmaking has to offer. The design is conclusive with a direct adaptation of an early 20th century military chronograph, down to fine details on (bi-compax) dial, the cathedral hands and the ‘onion’-styled crown with integrated chronograph pusher. While the dial uses a vintage ‘Montblanc’ logo, the brand clearly communicates the reference to Minerva: with their arrow logo at 6 o’clock, but also on the reset elver of the movement - this is a ‘Minerva’. For us at ‘the eclecticum’ quite a convincing watch (although there are a few details we would love to be improved, such as the buckle, for example).

´Today is Perpetual Day`: The Greubel Forsey ´QP ´Today is Perpetual Day`: The Greubel Forsey ´QP à Équation` is a perpetual calendar with an equation of time and is not just a “simple” perpetual calendar. This is not a surprise if you are familiar with the brand. At the heart lies the seventh invention, the Mechanical Computer, an entirely integrated 25-part component that brings a totally new interpretation to some of the calendar functions incorporated in age-old astronomical clocks. It is composed of a set of coding wheels superimposed in a coaxial manner, along with removeable fingers … (please check the official page for more details) #perpetualcalendar #eclecticsunday #greubelforsey #qpaequation #equationoftime #swisswatches #hautehorlogerie #perpetualday #quantiemperpetual #tourbillon #inventionpiece
´Today is Perpetual Day`: Quantieme Perpetual (Oc ´Today is Perpetual Day`: Quantieme Perpetual (Octa collection; F.P. Journe) with instantaneous jump is aesthetically different from all existing perpetual calendar watches. The idea was to make the dial uncluttered and with perfect legibility. On top it´s not difficult to adjust, which is not always the case when we think about perpetual calendars. #perpetualcalendar #eclecticsunday #fpjourne #quantiemeperpetual #swisswatches #perpetualday
´Today is Perpetual Day`: Jules Audemars ´Grande ´Today is Perpetual Day`: Jules Audemars ´Grande Complication` made by Audemars Piguet (2001); calibre AP2885. A classical beauty representing the traditional (Swiss) watchmaking at the peak. A piece for connoisseurs, especially those preferring understatement. #perpetualcalendar #eclecticsunday #grandcomplication #minuterepeater #splitsecondschronograph #swisswatches #thepinnacleofwatchmaking #calibre2885 #hautehorlogerie #perpetualday
