Montblanc

Montblanc Timewalker Pilot Chronograph Review by Michael Ting © October 2009 I believe most enthusiasts share similar purchasing habits. One of these is the pursuit of the “Grail watch”. For some of us the grail represents a timepiece out of our current f...  

I never realised the Montblanc was inspired by the Hanhart/Tutima fliegerchronographs. Did you consider putting it on a strap? - SJX

It is the only watch to evoke the same type of passion within me as Panerai did. As soon as I saw it, I retrieved my old Panerai strap box and started pairing. To be faithful to its heritage, I kept it on a bomber jacket. Looked awesome (except for the fi...  

I'm glad you've found a watch that works for you as a daily wearer that can be sporty or dressed up. Looking at this piece, I don't immediately make the Flieger connection, and I think that has to do with the modernized numerals and hands. On a sidenote, ... 

Tried on a couple of Timewalker's today, but was not overly enthusiastic for the stock leaher. The casing is really nice, the pan, lugs and dial are most appealing. Would have liked to see a version with blued "poiners" thogh ... Does this imply it will p...

feature on my base v7750s. Depending on the brand, when I pull the crown out the winding stem sometimes feels so flimsy that I think I put too much wear and tear on this part of the movement if too many functions are corrected via this part. Best, Mike

I've never noticed that about the date adjust mechanism of the 7750, but I don't actually own any...just play with them A

Thanks Mike. The accuracy of this watch falls within the allowable range of QF standard. Perhaps, it is right time for MB to send it for QF test and become No.3 brand to acquire the recognition on its Voljoux movement. Regards Ling

Hi Ling, of course my sample size is only 1 ! I was quite surprised when the result screen summarized the testing result. I repeated the test a few times with similar findings. I even recalibrated the timing machine. What would be impressive is if the new...
