The Montblanc Star Chronograph Automatic is a clear design statement in the Montblanc watch collection. It offers convincing proof that mere reduction can often fulfil the most exacting aesthetic and functional demands. On its 39 mm case, it has ample room for a spacious dial on which the various additional functions and displays are neatly arranged. The two large subdials for the 30-minute and 12-hour counters highlight the vertical axis, which runs on seamlessly into the wristband. In contrast, the small-seconds dial at 9 o'clock, with its delicate ten-second markers, is the soul of discretion. The chronograph hand, with its red point and perforated Montblanc emblem as a counterweight, rotates above the ensemble.
