But yes, since your initial post on this new collection, I have been in love with this blue dial MB. I have always wanted a manual wind chrono, I have always wanted a monopusher. To get one with a much more modern dial than we typically see used on these sorts of watches - well, I really like that.
Hands on review of the Montblanc 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter (Red Gold - LE of 100 pieces)
Introduced during the SIAR in Mexico, the 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter symbolizes two significant strategic directions from Montblanc. The first one is to accentuate the trend initiated with the Heritage Spirit Chronograph Pulsograph and which aims to offe...
Thank you Fx for the wonderful review!
Even though I have a weakness for blue dial and hence I really like the steel version with blue dial, I also have a weakness for red gold especially when paired with a black dial. This is a great combo that always works for me. I agree with all your point...
Thanks Robin.
The idea your mention is for me possible since the Villeret collection is now dedicated to complicated watches. A new addition to the 1858 collection? Fx
Thanks for this review, Fx. In fact, I more and more love these slow beating chronographs.
You are right, the big asset of this watch is its movement. But I find the rest very consistent, too, I mean the case and the dial. That's a big love affair. Especially in steel, for me, but I must say that the rose gold, as showed in your pictures, doesn...
Thanks Nicolas!
I can't wait to discover the SS version, I haven't seen it yet. I'm sure that I will love it. Fx
Great insight into this watch, Fx.
I also tend to prefer the steel version, but the gold is just as successful. The movement is even more attractive through the gold caseback.
Dear Michael
I see the 1858 Chrono poison is building up rapidly in you lol! Be careful of the many Vlads around here.... Muahahahah :p

I think the blue dial steel 1858 chronograph
Will look really nice on you Michael Hope you get to try it real soon! I know a few pieces are sold here in Singapore already. Cheers Robin
Indeed Nico
I also know at least 3 people in Singapore who have ordered this steel version. I also heard the red gold version is sold out as my friend who wanted one is on waitlist. Will I be number 4!?! Arghhh tough choice due to size Cheers Robin
Thanks Michael for your words.
Actually, the steel version will be officially presented at the SIHH and I hope to handle it to compare with this one. Thanks! Fx
Thank you for this review.
I like the aesthetic and love the movement. Cant wait to see the steel version and to see what else Montblanc will add to this collection.
Yes, I'm pretty excited to know what would be the 2016 novelties.
I would be happy to see a 3 hands watch with a Minerva movement. Thanks! Fx
Great and interesting review
The 1815 Villeret editions are really good value for money. More than that the calibers have a great finishing and look beautiful. Compared to much more classical versions of previous 1858, this one is a sportier model (in spirit). It is the kind of watch...
An instant critical and commercial success for Montblanc integrating Villeret
FrX, Thanks for the review. I like both the steel and rose gold versions for their own case-dial colour combinations. However, the steel case may be more practical for daily wear. Ideally, a smaller case (40 - 41mm) would be better. I don't mind the logo ...
