![]() Swiss watchmaker Louis Cottier created the first mechanism to display world time in 1930 and Vacheron Constantin capitalised on this in 1932 with a pocket watch. World time was established in 1884 (24 time zones) and it took some time for watchmakers to develop a complication to accommodate world travellers. Larger than before and with a monochromatic colour palette, Montblanc’s latest limited piece is a solid entry into luxury world timers. The new Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum heads north on the price with a limited edition 18k rose gold case and accents but offers a stunning overall package without an astronomical price. World timers are often the darlings of Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe and the like, but Montblanc helped usher in more affordable options along with Frederique Constant and a handful of others. The timepiece comes in a 43 mm polished stainless steel case combined with satin-finishing on the sides.Back in 2014, Montblanc introduced the Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum Worldtimer, which brought an accessible price to a traditionally expensive complication. A red arrow is located at 12 o’clock to point toward the city and the related owner’s local time zone. Below this sapphire disc appears the day/night disc rotating in 24 hours alternating from light blue for the day to dark blue for the night. The dial is composed of an upper sapphire crystal rotating disc with applied 3-dimensional rhodium-coated Northern Hemisphere map and meridians surrounded by a ring depicting the 24 cities of the 24 timezones. While travelling, the timepiece is easy to set thanks to a single pusher. Once set, it indicates all 24 time zones at a glance and shows whether the cities are in the daytime or nighttime. The idea is to propose a worldtime function, simple to set, to read and easy-to-use in an intuitive way combined with an elegant aesthetics. The timepiece is powered by an automatic movement equipped with a Manufacture complication. Orbis Terrarum comes from Latin, meaning “globe”, “earth”, and “world” giving the inspiration for the Montblanc Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum. The Montblanc Star Legacy product line takes its inspiration from Minerva’s heritage and the company’s pocket watches that were made during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
