Montblanc

The Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec is perhaps the most iconic watch from Montblanc's watch collection to date. Yes, Montblanc has its very high end and exclusive Villeret collection, started its watch offering in 1997 with the Star collection, won many new fa...  

Unfortunately I have the same problem as you : it just does not sit well on my wrist. It is not the size of 43mm, it is the design,shape and lenght of the lugs that make it feel like an alien on the wrist. This is a pity as otherwise I would have already ... 

Thanks Gerard for your feedback. Agree with you it's a tad big for us with small wrists. Hopefully there will be a 40mm Rieussec someday :) Cheers Robin

I really prefer the manual winding versions, and several really tempted me. I must admit, the bridge between the chrono dials is really cool on this homage piece. The subdials are very clean. And the use of the Luminova is quite original. Nice report Robi... 

Glad you like the report :) We will follow up with another report on the movement and design cues soon :) Stay tuned Cheers Robin

love the Rieussec watches !! The new one with the Horse looks good on your wrist (and achieves the Chinese Zodiac objective in an understated way)!! Cheers, Gordon p.s. unfortunately your wife will hate me for writing the above. Remember to defend me by u...

Sorry to hear about your experience in HK...it does leave an unpleasant impression if the highlight of the boutique wasn't working properly. I really like the Rieussec...just needs to be a tad thinner... Best, Mike

A great way to celebrate my wife's retirement :-) Tigers Nest, Paro, Bhutan ...  

Montblanc comes up with smaller and thinner Rieussecs in future. Wow a Montblanc boutique in HK airport having a faulty Rieussec? I will feedback to them on this so they can take a look Thanks for letting us know Dean Cheers Robin

Snake or Dragon is a bit of "no-no" for me, but horse is universally appealing :-) I like it! Ken

Horse is a majestic yet gentle and loyal companion. Easy to appreciate by all. Interesting that the key of this watch was to highlight the significance of the first patented chronograph and horse racing but some of you here came up with the idea of linkin...
