Sadly I see no compelling reason...

To accept the compromises. It's a rather generic movement and module(see the Nivrel implementation thepurists.com , 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 think the JLC Master perpetual(which clearly provided some design cues), or the MUT Perp. provides a much more refined execution of the same concept and the Blancpain a more unusual aesthetic.

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 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 ...

Thanks for your comment, Robin.

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?

By: Tick Talk : February 6th, 2014-07:54

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

2892, I think. [nt]

Its a 2892 clone.

A FANTASTIC value...

By: patrick_y : February 6th, 2014-11:12

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...

Thanks for your valuable feedback, Patrick. [nt]

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 ...

By: Marcus Hanke : February 7th, 2014-10:22

... 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 ...

There is quite some offer in this segment. I would see the GP as the closest in the style.

By: amanico : February 7th, 2014-10:24

But financially speaking, the GP is more expensive... Best, Nicolas

First impression - it looks like Blancpain PC.

By: ling5hk : February 7th, 2014-01:35

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...

Thanks for your feedback, Ling.
