Watches and Wonders 2022: A view on the Montblanc 1858 Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronographs.
There are more and more fans of Montblanc Minerva Chronographs, with years passing, and rightly so. Basically, you have two gorgeous manual winding movements, the Cal 13.21 and the much bigger Cal 16.29 whose level of finishings is among the best, IF NOT ...
Was waiting for this write up!
I am a big fan. I love the idea of seeing the movement in action. Actually after seeing your photos and a weh koh video I went and reserved a steel one. I was very excited to be able to see the movement in action. Very appealing. However, after reflecting...
I really forward to be able to see it in the flesh, assuming this plan materialize for my AD who was kind enough to ensure we could see it before buying it…
There is always a chance Montblanc does not send my AD the watch but we shall see
Montblanc CEO Mr. Baretzki wore the steel version yesterday evening
at the grand opening of the new Montblanc museum
This is a very compelling proposition!
The whole package is very well thought out and executed.
I met the MD of Villeret yesterday evening
there was the grand opening of the new Montblanc House with 300 guests; he told me end of 2022 for lime gold
I have not asked tbh
what about the Hentschel pick-up in June by the way - will we meet?
this movement by itself stands tall with all the merits...
open dial brings it to another level. Montblanc has done a great job ! Best, mahesh.,
An interesting concept to flip the movement
I remember Voutilainen did a similar thing with one of their watch too. Would the extra components increase the thickness of the watch by much?
Gorgeous
My favorite still is the green dial smaller version… for the color combo but mostly for the lesser size. But these new additions are truly wonderful offerings!
Thanks for sharing Nico..
The Lime gold appears too much like bronze, is that the case in real life?
only a bit
it is actually pretty green. I also had the chance to see the LE18 lime gold rattrapante last week. Spectacular in the metal
Amazing pieces!
Such a under the radar brand. One of the best kept secrets in the hobby.
