This stainless steel ‘American Issue Field’ model is powered by a robust and reliable calibre 1003 movement and has a transparent sapphire glass case back to show off the finely detailed internal mechanics. The Horween leather strap will develop a rich patina with wear and as with the finest luxury items, will get better with age. (£1855)

Manufactured in a limited run of only 100 pieces, this fantastic timepiece is part of Montblanc’s ‘1858’ collection that reinterprets the revered Minerva chronographs the came to market in the 1930s. The vintage-style bronze case is a first for the brand, and it is home to a champagne dial with a sunray finish and incredibly eye-catching, historical ‘cathedral’ hands – the decorative cloisonné design on the two markers is filled with Super-LumiNova® for that makes it extremely readable in all conditions. This stunning limited edition watch is powered by an incredibly accurate calibre MB M16.29 movement, and it has been subjected to the ‘Laboratory Test 500’, a programme that simulates the first year’s lifecycle to guarantee reliability.
