The Julius

From Montfort -

This is the latest offering from Nyon based microbrand.  

As with every Montfort, it displays an intriguing dial that has been 3D printed.  But if you look closely, there is an added little twist -

You will notice that the date wheel is exposed rather than placed under the dial.  You will also note that there is no date aperture/window and there is no additional hand to indicate the date as you would see in a "date pointer" watch.  But if you look closely, just above the 9 o'clock marker, there is a small white dot.  And you will then see that the date indicated is the 25th!  In speaking with the folks at Montfort, the goal was to create something that visually looks like a super-cool complication (which it does) but that does not actually add unwanted layers of cost to produce.  Which in turn ensures that the final price to the customer will be well within reason.

As with the other models from Montfort, it utilizes Super Stainless Steel, enhancing the anti-scratch properties of the watch.

The Julius will be limited to 33 pieces and is currently available for pre-order for  SFr. 1,990.00 CHF, with an anticipated shipping date of September of this year.
