BaselWorld 2008: Montblanc Star Lady Gold Moonphase Automatic Watch

PRESS RELEASE -- sparkling timepiece with the light of the moon

Diamonds are also the focus of the new Montblanc Star Lady Gold Moonphase Automatic, which lights up the stars in the watch sky. Since time immemorial, moon and stars have defined the cycle of life and once even constituted the first units of time. The Star Lady Gold Moonphase Automatic collection is dedicated to these, and Montblanc has added two precious new models to mark the occasion of the SIHH 2008.

A total of 104 flawless Top Wesselton diamonds with a baguette cut decorate the bezel and lugs of the 36 mm automatic watch of 18 carat red or white gold. Mysteriously dark as the night or light as moonshine, the shimmering mother-of-pearl dial displays the heavenly bodies in a curved moon phase indicator, and shows their current position between 9 and 12 O'clock.

As the most striking star in the firmament of the Montblanc Star Lady Moonphase Automatic, the unmistakable Montblanc Diamond works its magic here too, accompanied by 80 diamonds setted flange and 24 more diamonds that circle the round date indication at 6 O'clock in the form of a sparkling band. Designed to match the coloured models, a beige satin strap with 18 carat pin buckle harmonises with the white gold watch, whilst a brown satin strap complements the red gold model.
