Montblanc

I was so looking forward to see a post on this Meisterstuck Heritage PC

 

Thanks for sharing these superb pictures!
These are the best pictures of this new watch on the web now.
And your pictures made me like this watch more. Of course I have to see it in the metal to see if the centered sub dials make them hard to read (being quite small and squeezed in a 39mm case).

Actually for this piece, the steel version seems to have a bicolor effect which I do not fancy. I recall it having rose gold plated hands and indices for the steel version hence creating a bicolor effect (rose gold with steel). Blued steel hands and indices would be nicer for the steel version or even rhodium plated hands and indices.

For the rose gold version, are the hands and indices in rose gold or also rg plated like the steel version? Hopefully they are solid gold indices and hands for the rg version, which I think is great value too at almost 17k euro, just 1.7x the steel version. So many watches with a rose gold and steel variant has a price multiplier of 2.5 to 3.5 for the gold versions (compared to steel versions).

Thanks for the post Nicolas!

Montblanc SIHH 2014: Meisterstuck Heritage Perpetual Calendar.

 
By: amanico : February 6th, 2014-06:42
Here are the three pictures I could take on this Watch, during the SIHH. Agressive price, classic look, nice case. The centered subdials are the consequence of the movement size, which as you can see, is small, compared to the case. But we can notice the ...

I forwarded your question to the Montblanc Authorities. ;) Will keep you updated as soon as I have the answer. Best, Nicolas

Which ETA movement provides the base?

Sorry I'm being lazy, but off the top cannot recall the base caliber...

A FANTASTIC value...

A tremendous value of a watch. Pros: 1. Montblanc is a brand that's easily serviceable, with excellent customer service and multiple boutiques in many countries. 2. The price is extremely reasonable. 3. A perpetual calendar complexity at a mind-blowing pr... 

Closest Competition?

 
By: bigdave : February 6th, 2014-15:28
I am myself very partial to the Glashutte Original Senator 100-based perpetual calendars, and often have recommended the steel version to friends as a perpetual calendar "best buy", but, unless I am mistaken, even its current Euro list price is nontrivial... 

Closest competition would be this one ...

... which was AFAIK the very first on the market using this combination of 2892 base movement and DD calendar module, the Nivrel perpetual: With 38mm diameter it is smaller than the MB, and available only in stainless steel. Marcus ...  

First impression - it looks like Blancpain PC.

I agree with Patrick. Fantastic value which really surprises me. For those who has yet to own a PC and with limited funds, I think this Montblanc should be seriously considered. I dare not use the word "cheap" but it is very reasonable priced. Regards Lin... 

Sadly I see no compelling reason...

To accept the compromises. It's a rather generic movement and module(see the Nivrel implementation , and the movement is swimming in the case. The aesthetics are nice enough, but if you're going for a "tuxedo" look, you've got to get the details right. I...
