Let me tell you my story. I always wondered why some were so crazy about Patek Watches. I suspect that some buy Patek watches just for the name on the dial... Then...
I said to myself that I will never buy a Montblanc watch.
Which is the same way of thinking than those I suspect to buy a Patek just for the name on the dial, in fact.
Till the day I fell on the 1858 Tachymeter... Since then I focused on the whole watch and especially the movement. I don't care about the name, it can be whatever you want, I just care about the watch.
Now, using the Minerva movements in a more exclusive way, why not... These movements are so top and well finished.
I am a big fan, now...

Montblanc - over and out
Dear all, Have been an admirer of Montblanc - let's clarify - Minerva calibre timepieces since the beginning. Purchased in 2014 the Minerva Meisterstuck Heritage Pulsograph with Minerva calibre. This watch was made in a LE of 90 pieces with only 1referen...
I totally understand your point of view. Still, this Heritage Pulsograph Chronograph is very much my taste, I must say. And it would complement my 1858 Tachymeter very well, since...
It is not the same manual winding Minerva Chronograph movement. What a pair it would make. It's been a very long time I don't trust the LE concept, so I am not disturbed with that kind of behaviour anymore. The only interest I have is in the watch. It ple...
This golden goose is being cooked, but what a glorious meal
The new Minerva chronographs watches are beautiful, the complete package. Though a more ornate dial may better match the price point, my initial impression is that this dial is perfect for a traditional chronograph. Why add $6000 to the MSRP and land up w...
My exact thought from the get-go.
Brand these high-end movements as Minerva watches, not Montblanc. It seems so obvious. M4

Movements to die for: far above Patek/Lange/... in my opinion
Only bothers me that same dial is used in the Minerva calibres, Montblanc calibres and is even used on smartwatches...
wait till you check out the Mont Blanc Orbis Terrarium and the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Tradiontionelle World Time
talking about betraying VC customers - think Richemont Group cares?
While I fully respect your view, Alex...
I find the issue not to be quite as black and white. Many watch manufacturers maintain great differences in their price levels within the same line, which is considered normal. Some also maintain fairly uniform looks between relatively entry level and fai...
