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 "new" Montblanc...perhaps a toe dip for pen collectors who are not used to spending thousands on a watch but want to be loyal to the brand.
In the future I'd love to see details "trickle" down from Minerva or some of the newer ideas from messr. Gildas using Richemont's own production facilities.
IMHO I think the aesthetics of the Star Calendrier to be more appealing...perhaps it is just the symmetry and the classical styling

Montblanc Star Twin Moonphase wrist review
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...

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
To see it in the metal soon. Glad you find the date layout special and thanks for your kind comments on my review. :) Cheers robin
Excellent write up and pics...
.. very, very well done and love your honest review. Thanks! Ken
Thank you Ken!
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
Actually, they did not bring this one...
.. so, I was surprised to see this one here. Very nice one! Ken
