Montblanc 1858 GMT: World Explorer
The Montblanc 1858 GMT puts a twist on a familiar complication to offer functionality in a new form.

In lieu of the familiar GMT hand that points to Home Time, a red marker orbits the edge of the dial once every 24 hours to serve the same function. By doing away with this extra hand, Montblanc has not just reduced clutter, but also segregated the information on the dial more effectively. Home Time remains equally legible, of course, but the indicator remains out of the way until it is needed.

This, too, has been optimised for readability ? the apertures for the hours are larger than those for the half-hours, thus making it a cinch to read the GMT display.
