The Montblanc 4810 Date Automatic
jrwong23 (aka watchthebin)
This is the entry level watch in the new 4810 collection.
I had this test watch from Montblanc for a week to try on and get some feedback from friends and on a high level, the guys looking for a first dress watch (they may already have a sports watch or no mechanical watches yet) told me this is a classical and sophisticated looking watch. My colleagues and friends like such a watch to wear in the office.
Interestingly, those in their 40s and late 30s like the design more. Those in their 20s or early 30s felt the design of the dial with the exploding star guilloche and especially the red gold plated indices and hands look a tad more mature for their taste. When I showed them pics of the Timewalkers or the 1858 collection, they preferred those collections. They too felt the Heritage Spirit and Chronometrie lines more suited when they are in their 30s and not 20s. Interesting to see the youngsters also interested in watches and not just into smart devices 
Some pics to share of the 4810 Date Automatic in a steel case of 42mm with the signature exploding star guilloche dial.
What are your thoughts on this watch and the 4810 collection? I also add the flagship 4810 Extourbillon Slim here for comparison - from entry level to flagship in the collection
Cheers

Well, I much prefer the Exotourbillon in its Continents versions. I will be honest, I find the dial you show a bit outdated. But my 11 years old daughter tells me that I am 10 years old in my head... Best, Nicolas

Hurrah! I fall into the young 20 - 30 year old crowd Whilst I agree this Montblanc 4810 Automatic is a simple bold watch, I feel it is a tad fuddy-daddy, for me. The flagship 4810 Extourbillon Slim looks fine to me so what is the reason when they share the same dial design? I think it is the break up of the...

Montblanc Timepieces for the Modern Traveler – Part Three: Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique

Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch 110 Years Edition This is the final installment of my series on Montblanc timepieces for the modern traveler. Today, we will look at the very top end of Montblanc’s watch collection; very interestingly, a pocket watch from the manufacture at Villeret – the Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch 110 Years Edition. How many of you heard about the Blue Riband Award? I learned something new today as I read this from Montblanc: During the golden age of travel across the Atlantic Ocean, the world’s best passenger ships competed against each other for the prestigious Blue Riband Award . This distinguished accolade — symbol of peak performance and precision in nautical navigation — was given to the liner with the fastest crossing westbound against the challenging Gulf Stream.
