On the cover, we have the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen CARBO2 Limited Edition 1969, recently unveiled at Watches and Wonders, crafted in a new, innovative material called CARBO2. The material is produced by capturing CO2 from biogas, which undergoes a scientific process to be turned into hard, robust, and light watch cases with unique patterns - our cover story ‘High and Mighty’ delves into this in detail. Other features in the magazine include ‘The Legend Returns', which focuses on the revival of the Piaget Polo, the iconoclastic timepiece from the 80s, and ‘In a League of One’s Own’, where we look at Urwerk, one of the most unique and futuristic watch brands today, through the journey of its founders Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei.
