The lower half of the dial displays an unusual circular date display.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEq1biDlBfpXMLAaHp-dsg51vdDqDXT7Adc0vPe7ZDFCLSCJMellK92NeOtmXhk_ifng-GtiYEO7cdmJJ7DwOwJDCPPaGYak_4RVYTkgZ-xWAax7TGgyybpucwvdKpy3xG0zyJJLYmOqNM/s1600/Montblanc-Metamorphosis-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476360884905923234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEq1biDlBfpXMLAaHp-dsg51vdDqDXT7Adc0vPe7ZDFCLSCJMellK92NeOtmXhk_ifng-GtiYEO7cdmJJ7DwOwJDCPPaGYak_4RVYTkgZ-xWAax7TGgyybpucwvdKpy3xG0zyJJLYmOqNM/s400/Montblanc-Metamorphosis-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 533px;" /></a><br /><br />A sliding mechanism starts the transformation process of the watch: By pressing the slide on the left-hand flank from “10” to “8” the watch starts with its metamorphosis process that lasts approximately 15 seconds and magically transforms it from the time indicating mode into a chronograph.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >The second face: The Chronograph</span><br />The metamorphosis itself can best be compared to a scene change at the theatre: wings of the dial open up, slide under one another, and disappear to the left and right beneath the middle section of the dial.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyYMfsilVuKaaJLH3YESZgzcpGnKu_mCtAml6RI_6fgHN76HsokR9TOqiodYeaKb7IfJ_k5jLhvvo0VrIy0LEDVFZm_1_YhFRIYybdXFF_Vj4TqotTHWmDYTyVJDndxEH-97Lh3dkZA3c/s1600/Montblanc-Metamorphosis-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476361234384109842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyYMfsilVuKaaJLH3YESZgzcpGnKu_mCtAml6RI_6fgHN76HsokR9TOqiodYeaKb7IfJ_k5jLhvvo0VrIy0LEDVFZm_1_YhFRIYybdXFF_Vj4TqotTHWmDYTyVJDndxEH-97Lh3dkZA3c/s400/Montblanc-Metamorphosis-1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 529px;" /></a><br /><br />After the transformation, this masterpiece of mechanical timekeeping presents a face devoted entirely to the chronograph function. Emphasising the watch’s second function as a sports timer, the face displays Arabic numerals with red markers. The subdial, in the form of a rotating disc, now takes the stage as the minute counter. The existing hands and dials assume new roles as part of the chronograph.<br /><br />The two inventors, Johnny Girardin and Franck Orny, came up with the idea of a timepiece that could literally and mechanically change its appearance before our very eyes. For over a year, they worked alongside the designers and watchmakers in the Institut Minerva de Recherche en Haute Horlogerie to transform their initial idea into a watch.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqbFMM9cEU2NO5WLSbGWTEcYAbNp6RIsTs3IvVV7mgvs3NNXMcTVuWFl1x0J7rrqYxh0Tx1x0BB_gU0l0Ate2K1-hs2NBF8bsgwVoFChCPB7XixZ6PWuj_q8PBTad4VfgxYVSaGQLiRMN7/s1600/Montblanc_Developers-of-the-metamorphosis.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476360579853819170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqbFMM9cEU2NO5WLSbGWTEcYAbNp6RIsTs3IvVV7mgvs3NNXMcTVuWFl1x0J7rrqYxh0Tx1x0BB_gU0l0Ate2K1-hs2NBF8bsgwVoFChCPB7XixZ6PWuj_q8PBTad4VfgxYVSaGQLiRMN7/s400/Montblanc_Developers-of-the-metamorphosis.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 331px; height: 218px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: the inventors of the Montblanc Metamorphosis Franck Orny and Johnny Girardin</span></span><br /><br />Although the principle of a watch with different functions is nothing entirely new, the way in which the Montblanc Metamorphosis transforms itself from one watch face to the other, has never been seen before. It is a highly complex process, involving 50 individual components that move technically synchronously. The mechanisms involved in this process are so new and innovative (The complication adds 315 extra parts to the original 252 parts of the Minerva Kaliber 16-29 hand-wound movement) that they’ve been registered for patent.<br /><br />The Metamorphosis watch will only be available in a limited edition of 28 pieces.

If you can get past that simple fact (lol) , take a look at the design, the workmanship, technology and plain audaciousness of these horological masterpieces.<br /><br />Although all the companies offer various models, I'm blown away by the HD3's Idalgo XTII and the Biaxial, Icelink's 6Timezone Snow watches and Hautlence's models in particular. Frankly, I find it almost impossible to tell what time it is on any of these watches, but that doesn't stop me from staring at their faces.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuB7PhGsajz2ax_Nhn-80g2ZMirlGlFAhsy4N2F04ufwq-gmkGbp-1HvAkHLsvEl4IXwtDLgBtrnKUiCTbvn5PcpjaZ8Uj5SKuyFlAYv8O-BCmonRwrPTyQLb89RIrZ6DUl9EHEOkrldp/s1600-h/Picture+102.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310524442713650898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuB7PhGsajz2ax_Nhn-80g2ZMirlGlFAhsy4N2F04ufwq-gmkGbp-1HvAkHLsvEl4IXwtDLgBtrnKUiCTbvn5PcpjaZ8Uj5SKuyFlAYv8O-BCmonRwrPTyQLb89RIrZ6DUl9EHEOkrldp/s400/Picture+102.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 551px; height: 108px;" /></a><br /><br />HD3 complications is a company comprised of three different designers; artists Jorg Hysek, Valérie Ursenbacher and Fabrice Gonet working together to create luxury horological art.

Slightly different from their 6Timezone model, the Snow version has one of the six faces filled with little loose diamonds. The model is available as a small case or a large case style. Available in white, rose or yellow gold with white, black or white mother-of pearl faces, the watches are hard to ignore.

He is the incarnation of the era of no complex, undeniably the inventor of the gemwatch. IceLink continues to overturn conventional watchmaking.<br /><br />From its Geneva headquarters, the Icelink gemwatch brand is poised to conquer new markets in Asia and the Far East due to the original design and ingenious concept of the new 6Timezone Snow collection. Thanks to its flagship 6Timezone collection, the brand already occupies key territory such as Europe, Russia, the Middle East and the United States.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Icelink</span><br />610 S.

Launched in 2004 by Renaud de Retz, Guillaume Tatu, Jean Plazenet, Jean Christophe Chopin and Alain de Forges , they have three collections, the HL, the HLS and most recently having added the HLQ series in 2008. All three models are made with various high quality metals like 18k yellow, white or rose gold or titanium and, unlike the other two companies are not available with diamonds.<br /><br />Once again, these models have amazing design and movement. All are limited to production of only 88. Each have hand wound mechanical movement and feature exposed elements. Easy to read? No way. But then again, that's why they are included in this post. And a special thanks to <a href="http://www.yosoh.com/">Scott Rench</a> for introducing me to Hautlence.<br /><br />Their first model, <span style="font-weight: bold;">The HL</span>, which comes in 8 combinations of colors and materials:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgu0NBbYOfv83M0A8t99TNq0NJXgPm5rZf2FMCPtvQ6CllXsQ3Pke6mw_aRuNxWAq9qFVCmZAAxyokZhcjd_ohb10aeWFA9Cl5XzUSx0d5YN6TCiAYjPQHByvEPntXc8VLKMBsUWUWAW1g/s1600-h/HL1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311624240750110914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgu0NBbYOfv83M0A8t99TNq0NJXgPm5rZf2FMCPtvQ6CllXsQ3Pke6mw_aRuNxWAq9qFVCmZAAxyokZhcjd_ohb10aeWFA9Cl5XzUSx0d5YN6TCiAYjPQHByvEPntXc8VLKMBsUWUWAW1g/s400/HL1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
