Meet Watch Blogger Frank Geelen of http://monochrome-watches.com, who once again interviews Alexander Schmiedt, Category Manager Watches, live from the Montblanc booth at the SIHH 2015. The Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum literally adds a global perspective to your wrist. The world itself, in Latin “orbis terrarum”, is at the core of the manufacture complication and at the centre of the dial. The multilayer dial made of sapphire crystal shows the continents as viewed from the North Pole which are encircled by the name of the 24 cities representing the different timezones. Under the continent cut-outs, a disc showing day/night as well as the 24 hours timezones rotates with the movement mechanism, causing the continents to change colour as day evolves into night. Thanks to this innovative and intuitive concept, it is possible to see what time of day or night it is in 24 time zones around the world – at a single glance.
