Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec

The Greek term "chronograph" means a time indicator. In 1821, the French watchmaker Nicolas-Mathieu Rieussec invented an ink pen which enabled him to stop the time during horse races. The chronograph was revolutionary and had a rotating dial with a 60-second scale that rotated on its own axis once per minute. At the touch of a finger, a writing tip marked the enamelled ring with coloured dots.

The new edition of a chronograph

After almost 200 years, Montblanc used its anniversary celebrations to present an exclusive mechanism which took up Rieussec's idea of the chronograph in terms of design aspects: in particular, the rotating discs for the stop function instead of the usual hands.

The Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec prices are in the four-digit range, but can also be in the five-digit range for individual references and depending on the condition or availability of the watch. For example, Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec models in red gold or platinum are in the higher segment. One of the most popular watches in the collection is the Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph, of which you can choose from a total of two different versions in different shades of colour.

Whichever Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec watch you choose, each model from the Swiss Manufacture must pass the 21-day Laboratory Test 500 before it is released for sale.
