Counting down to celebration of the creation and work of Nicolas Rieussec - 'the Chronographe' in 1821, Montblanc pays hommage to the genius Nicholas Matthieu Rieussec with the issuing of the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Anniversary Edition, in ...  

I would have hard time deciding which one I would take, between the platinum, for its understated but very elegant look, and the stronger white gold black dial combination. I love a lot the way they included the date in the " dial landscape "... It doesn'...
