Simple big crown
This is actually my first watch that somehow survived through all these years. Mom gave it to me when I went to college <3
A simple big crown, hr/minute + date. I can't remember the model number atm, but it's from 2002 I think. That's Ueno in the background 
Yes, let's plan something!
Montblanc DOES know how to throw a party!
Last month, I received a mysterious invitation from Montblanc - asking the guests to come to a small pier not far from the central Tokyo area, along one of the rivers. And they the invitation went on to say "please come to this pier between 18:00 and 18:3...
Hey! I've walked along that bridge and location before
Ken-san, I was walking with the current Mrs MTF until we got to Nihonbashi and the water dragons back in 2004. The restaurant location did not look like that then; it was broken riverside warehouses and boat moorings. Wow! Now its a secret location for Mo...
Around Nihonbashi, and the so-called "water front" changed a LOT. River, riverside cleaned up very much.
.. Unagi... It's getting more and more expensive because they are getting less and less of them recent years. But, yes, I eat more than several times per summer ) Great food!
Excellent journalistic coverage of said party.
I went to a small JLC boutique shindig at the Beverly Hills location. Would love to be on the watch party circuit.
Nah, I am not a journalist at all (I don't make a living by that!), but thanks!
... I know how you feel, but I guess making friends with the brand staff would be good ) Only a few brands keep inviting me to these events. Journalists get invited all the time to all the brands events, though.
That´s one cool party!
Thanks for having taken us along, Ken! I am quite surprised ( in a good way) that a brand executive decided to give his personal touch to a product the company offers beyond the OEM supplied manner. Kudos to him, and the idea is pure genius! I am sure his...
One thing I can say is...
... he LOVES watches. Not that other watch brand executives do not, but he loves what he does and he knows how to best show the watch or what the watch CAN do on/ for your wrist..... Always fun to talk with him about watches. Cool, eh?
Super cool, Ken!
Definitely having people like him makes following a brand much more enjoyable. Cheers, Alex
Awesome! I love the mystique
Many brands have embraced these special events over the years, and us enthusiasts sure appreciate them
Montblanc is the master of parties!
looks like a cool one and you had good fun my friend Thanks for the report! It's cool to see a 1858 manual small second blue dial on a Nato strap. I think I should look for a nice blue Nato for my 1858 Tachymeter chronograph too Cheers Robin

Thank you Ken for this interesting look into a special invitation.
It feels like we were invited to go with you. A nice thing to see that producers still invite customers on special events and so nice of Montblanc to have done this.
