Montblanc Timewalker 100: The Calibre MB M66.25 explained
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 28th, 2014-06:40
To recap, the Timewalker Chronograph 100... a superwatch (like a supercar) mechanically in my books. Not the most handsome watch at first glance. Not easy to appreciate in terms of its looks, especially for lovers of classical watches (like me). A busy di...
Oh yes the Duometre chrono!

Same similarities indeed especially the bi directional winding. Both movement plates also made of German silver :) The Montblanc Villeret's movements base plates are all crafted from German silver and rhodium plated. I think the JLc duometre's German silv...

You made it easy for me to understand. Such a awesome movement, but it's a pity the dial design doesn't appeal to me. It's a bit too messy IMHO. Have a great New Year! Regards, Ian
It's like a modern sports car my friend :)

And based on your collection, you like vintage classical cars and watches like me :) Still the movement of the Timewalker 100 is very classical in finishing. I hope we can see it one day in Singapore together Cheers Robjn
Happy New Year Ian!

Agree - I must admit I enjoy the movement more than the dial design which is very modern and I like classical watches mainly. It's messy as it tries to show many technical aspects of the watch including the Minerva arrow that now has a function to play :)...
Interesting..

never realised so much technicalities goes into the MB timepieces/movements.. Think I'll pop by an MB boutique soon to see and appreciate this piece in person. Thanks for the report Robin. Cheers !
Wonderful read!
