I can't wait! MB is on fire, yet still under the radar
I was very surprised to read our own CEO just realized which movement is in this watch, despite our nonstop discussions on it for 7 months.
Just as well, it adds to the enjoyment to own things that are not so mainstream. I would place my 1858 Chronograph aside any watch I have ever owned, from any brand.
Chilling with Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter Chronograph
a perfect watch for holidays, Fridays and weekends! This watch is extremely photogenic with the setting (or rising sun) Have a good weekend ! Cheers Robin...
That's a watch which drives you crazy.
It has been a very long time I didn't feel that for a modern watch. I will post my fresh pictures later. As it seems this is the Royal Oak for Montblanc, a watch which cannibalizes all the other Montblanc. Best, Nicolas
Royal Oak for Montblanc?? Lol
Indeed my friend but this is only 200 pieces , 100 in steel and 100 in rose gold. Too limited to be the RO of Montblanc
Yes, but have a look at our Montblanc forum...
There are as many pictures of the 1858 Tachymeter as there are pictures of the Royal Oak on the AP forum.
True my friend
I suspect another Montblanc gem of a watch is coming our way later this year ....

I just realised the point about this watch
Thanks for the photo. I always see the front of the watch so wondered what the fuss is about. Now, I see the Villeret arrow index on the movement, it all makes sense! Regards, MTF
that movement shot is a killer!
And your killers shots have side effects....expensive ones! best Stefan
LOL these are vlad shots
and yes expensive side effects! Dont tell me you are going for one of these too?! cheers robin
Yes, order placed...
ETA November . Pick up at the manufacture. Looked at all the options and concluded this is the one! Stefan
Thanks Nicolas! Looking forward :-)
And in the mean while enjoying the photos on the MB forum Stefan
BIG CONGRATS in advance Stefan!
You are so going to love this beauty!! Counting down to Nov now
Got to wait a few more months...
... And I am really looking forward to see the manufacture too! Picking up the watch at its birthplace is very special. Stefan
Very special indeed Stefan
The Montblanc Villeret manufacture is a place I dream of visiting someday !! I will do so when I find the time for a holiday there
I recommend you plan a trip - Switzerland is definitely worth a holiday
The watchmaking is just the icing on the cake - And let me know should you actually happen to plan a visit. Stefan
Thats a great idea indeed!
I shall let both of you know the date of the visit, once it is known. November or early December it will most likely be. Stefan
