SIZE MATTERS

With the 43mm case size, stylish star-shaped guilloche and applied Roman numerals, it’s hard to believe Montblanc’s new Star Legacy models were inspired by 19th- and 20th-century Minerva pocket watches. But the vintage nods are there. The Star Legacy Automatic Date 43mm and Star Legacy Chronograph Day&Date 43mm have smooth, pebble-shaped

(albeit upsized) cases, onion crowns and leaf-shaped hands. They’re offered in stainless steel with bracelets or sfumato leather, and you can choose between an anthracite-coloured dial or a slightly more retro-ish ivory dial with rose gold accents.
