A World Timer Model Paying Homage to Vasco da Gama

At the gala dinner, attended by over 200 global celebrities and journalists, the latest creations from the Montblanc watch collection were unveiled. Among these new models, the "Montblanc Chronometrie Dual Time Vasco da Gama Limited Edition 238," worn by Montblanc's global brand ambassador Hugh Jackman, garnered the most attention.

The Chronometrie Dual Time Vasco da Gama Limited Edition 238 is a world timer model that pays homage to Vasco da Gama, the first explorer to reach the Southern Hemisphere from the Northern Hemisphere. With Montblanc's unique complication, this watch simply displays two different time zones on Earth, offering rich functionality suitable for today's businessmen who travel the world with the same spirit of adventure and ambition as Vasco da Gama.



In an era when timekeeping instruments were undeveloped, it was the stars shining in the Southern Hemisphere's night sky that supported Vasco da Gama's astonishingly accurate navigational calculations. The simple functional beauty of the day/night indicator at 12 o'clock, set against the backdrop of the Southern Hemisphere's starry sky, and the three-dimensional globe motif for the small seconds at 6 o'clock, evokes the dream of endless adventure.
