One of the most highly anticipated models to have released during the 2014 SIHH (Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie), the Mont Blanc’s Nicolas Riussec II is an extremely distinctive and clever watch. Not only does the watch include many practical complications such as dual time zone, day and night indication and date, its most remarkable complication would be the single button chronograph regulated by the use of a column wheel and vertical clutch that can provide greater accuracy and durability.
Inspired by the 1821 Rieussec time-writer, Montblanc has also incorporated an
unconventional rotating subsidiary disk for its 30 minutes and 60 seconds register to display its chronograph. By combining traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with advanced technical research, Nicolas Riussex II is a remarkable watch for its value.
