For the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2016, starting on January 18, Montblanc has revealed one of the watches it will be presenting: the TimeWalker ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph Limited Edition 100. Montblanc’s new iteration of its popular TimeWalker line equips the classic but highly modern timepiece with the brand’s exclusive in-house patented ExoTourbillon. The ExoTourbillon has been included in a number of pieces in the Maison’s Heritage Chronométrie line, but this is a first for the TimeWalker collection.

The ‘Exo’ in ExoTourbillon refers to the screw balance, which is positioned outside of the tourbillon’s rotating cage, allowing the cage to be smaller in size and free of the weight of the balance, saving energy and negating any effect the inertia of the cage has on the balance.
