SIHH 2018: Novelties in the Nicolas Rieussec series
Following the last updates to the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec lines in 2015 (here: www.watchprosite.com for more) and the pre-SIHH announcement (here: for more), here the full update on the Nicolas Rieussec line from this year's SIHH. Montblanc re...
Thanks 5980!
I also find the update quite a good one. Still need to try it on the wrist for size (44,8mm) but otherwise like it a lot
That would be lovely for sure!
Not sure how many more updates to the NR line are coming past SIHH this year, since the focus is likely to be on the 160 years of Minerva. But would be great!
I hear you about the case size...
As siad, I felt the 43mm was a tad on the large side already but then it always depends on the lug design and overall shape to see how it wears. Will need to check it out for sure. The height is 15,02mm, so not all that slim, I'm afraid
Somehow I always imagined the Zeitwerk was larger...
Let’s see how it finally turns out. And a first generation hand wound one is none too shabby - great target!
My Zeitwerk is the classic version with the smaller and “thinner” case. The Striking, Decimal Striking and Minute Repeater have bigger cases (between 43.9mm and 44.2mm from memories) and are slightly thicker
Since I tried a Rieussec in an airport several years ago, I want one. But only hand wound. Unfortunately, I like a lot few automatic versions too. But, I’ll pull the trigger one day 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks for adding the details :)
It is of course always very much dependent on the piece - i.e. the raw dimensions tell only part of the story. I find that thin watches can definitely be smaller and still look, for instance. Then I have watches of 44-45mm size, which are great on the wri...
Always a fan of the Nicolas Rieussec.
Unfortunately I've been fixed on the open wheel designs which only came on manual wind. For some reason, I haven't seen the open (spoked) chrono wheels on the automatics. Did I miss something? In any case, the Rieussecs continue to be unique and amazing.
Fully agreed, Todd!
A truly signature MB piece, with their first in-house movement and bound to remain a classic for the brand
