Montblanc Star Twin Moonphase wrist review

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : June 13th, 2014-05:42
In SIHH 2014, Montblanc has added a new reference to its Star collection, the Star Twin Moonphase. An introduction of this watch can be found in my previous post here: montblanc.watchprosite.com The main theme of this watch is a poetic and timeless compli...  

Hmm... I don't like the date layout...

Not to be overly critical, but I find the positioning of the date layout to be at an odd place. While I can agree with you that a bold asymmetrical dial makes life more interesting, sometimes bold is just not my thing. Functionally, the date dial is at a ... 

Thanks Patrick for your feedback!

Agree I am mostly a classical watch guy and didn't appreciate the date sub dial's position too. Only after spending more time with the watch did I find it refreshing and different from my other watches and I grew to like the bolder design. Didn't realize ... 

It'd have the opposite effect...

If you wore your watch on your right wrist, then that date at the right-side of the dial would have an opposite effect! Sometimes certain designs really grow on me with time. When certain cars came out, I thought they were strange and too modern, but even... 

Great honest review of the Star Twin Moonphase

Glad you shared your thoughts... The Star collection, as a whole, causes different emotions. Some view this collection as a "hold over" from the old Montblanc...and so sadly there is some negative bias. But these watches offer an affordable entry to the "...  

Thanks for your feedback Mike!

I know Montblanc fans who are non watch collectors or young watch collectors who appreciate the design DNA of the Star line so I think it has its fair share of supporters. The Star Quantieme Complet is indeed a handsome watch with a very balanced dial. I ... 

excellent review...

... i remember i have seen this watch in internet, but have not had chance to see this one in metal. at the first sight, i quite like the dial layout, especially the off-center dial for the date, not usual design by MB. hope to see this in metal and try i... 

Thanks Stefan. I think we will have a chance

Appreciate your feedback my friend. Quick question - did you see this watch when you met Mr Lambert in Japan? I can't remember if you both had discussed the new Star Twin Moonphase or the Star collection in general. Cheers Robin
