A superb watch Nicolas.
One of a rare breed of watch with a case designed to accommodate a movement properly.
Your brief comments about the Nautilus are spot on and frankly if a movement of this quality was featured in any big brand, it would be considered at the pinnacle of chronographs.
Be well,

Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter 5th Anniversary.
Those who know me well know can witness that the 1858 Tachymeter is an important watch for me. Today, after 5 years of ownership, this love has even increased. There are two reasons behind the fact it is a very interesting watch for me. 1/ It made me chan...
Happy fifth birthday!
Very good post. I totally agree that the watch is what is important, not the name. Personally I'm usually "slow" in deciding when I'm in the process of bying a watch - it's never on impulse. I look - think - feel - and look again - and again - before deci...

Beautifully written. Congrats on five years anniversary.
Now to fetch mine from the safe 🙂 M4

Love your pictures and your dedication
Otherwise 100% agreed as one can guess. Many don't know that the superior finish of the calibers was only achieved after Montblanc took charge of Minerva; before they were nice but not top level. And with respect to the case and dial - I simply cannot fol...
What a story!
Thank you for sharing your journey with this amazing piece. How would you compare emotionally and technologically between this Montblanc and the JLC Duometre Chronographe?
I can't agree more.
Unfortunately, none of these three is in my collection. I'm waiting for the right one, I suppose, to come along.
The anniversarry
Thank you for sharing the immense pride of your Montblanc. Calling my brand Baume and Mercier does something to me. I know people stare blind on the Patek name, and i am questioning why i stay very cold reading Patek on a dial. Seeing Vacheron Constantin ...
Great write up, really enjoyed reading it!
I myself am a brand snob,😉 but not because of the name or value, more so because of the quality, consistency and certain characteristics that are important to me. Never the less, Happy 5th Birthday!!!
One of the most handsome watches I've seen in quite a while..
Superb piece, with great looks, and sporty & functional, too. Thank you for the lovely photographs, Nicolas. I have several Montblanc pens which I'm going to enjoy today, lol. Kind regards, -Rick.
Great post, Nico... I almost missed it
I really love this watch for a number of reasons. The name Montblanc is a detractor to many, which is very nice for those who don’t mind as the watch can be had at very fair prices. Since you mentioned PP, can you imagine if that was the name on the dial ...
