Montblanc

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...  

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... 

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 chr...

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?

Unfortunately, none of these three is in my collection. I'm waiting for the right one, I suppose, to come along.

Amazing more extraordinary movement.

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 ... 

I must admit I'd barely escaped the call of that watch.

happy 5th anniv & many to come cheers

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!!!

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.

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 ...
