Montblanc 2024 The Unveiled Secret Steel.

In 2023, Montblanc issued an " aged steel " version which I reviewed at that time. 

Here it is: 

none

Montblanc released one year after, in 2024 then, a polished and steel case I totally missed, which I just recently discovered. And truth to be told, I much prefer this " classic " steel version. Indeed, I think that such a movement needs to be paired with a classic case, in steel, or gold, not with a kind of " fashioned " finish, even if it is spectacular, but I suspect you can get tired of it. 

none

The case dimensions are the same as the former Unveiled Secret  versions: 43 mm big, 14, 78 mm high, so 1 mm smaller, but 1, 28 mm thicker than the 1858 Tachymeters. The fluted bezel is in white gold, which is not a novelty, compared to the former versions. 

none

The big and important changes here are the blued ( ! ) plates and bridges and the " windows " on both sides of the case which allow you to admire the movement. Two great details which put this watch at another level, for me.

none

none

The case back is solid, and nicely decorated, which is good as the movement is inverted so there is nothing to see on the back side, then. 

none

A nice belated surprise, for me, this version. 

Best,

Nicolas

Too extremely desirable and exquisite watch that I am really sad they are so hard to come by and actually next to impossible to get for me and my country.

I like everything about this watch. The concept, the legibility, the see tru registers(second version) and even the solid engraved caseback, but the 43mm is impossible for me to believe that is comfortable. A splendid(for the eyes) reference!

Love these. Tried them on last year. My only hesitation is reading about poor service experiences with montblanc

Just a question… Is the back side picture from the same watch? Because the size windows appear to be missing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Eagle eye. No, I took it from another version.

Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter 10th Anniversary!

A belated 10th birthday to my 1858 Tachymeter! Indeed, indeed, I picked it on the 9th of March... 2016 in Hamburg, Germany, at the Montblanc Boutique. It was an important watch for me, I wanted it to be an important moment, too. So I could visit the Montblanc Headquarter, which was not a good idea, as I could also see some terrific Montblanc pens, too...
