Wondering about this Super Luminova

Hummm Very nice post. Thanks for this great and very interesting review. I just discovered it.

I really like this Montblanc and specially this Nicolas Rieussec. I have recently received an interesting offer to buy one.

But I am wondering how resists this famous Super Luminova in time ? I mean : after one or two years, does this Super Luminova becomes fade ?

( sorry if it is not the right term : I am french ... nobody's perfect )

I am a little bit afraid that with time going on, the Super Luminova slowly but surely disapears. Does someone here has experienced this Watch for a while and know how react this S.L. ?

And by the way, is the color of the Ceramic Disc a little bit different than the dial? It seems on pictures that this disc is kind of " pale yellow " or beige ?

Thanks one more tome for this nice review.

Cordially,

Julien.

Montblanc Homage to Nicolas Rieussec Part 2

By: mkt33 : November 14th, 2014-17:27

First, let's offer a few words to remember the watchmaker himself... This is Nicolas Mathieu Rieussec He was already a successful young watchmaker in Paris when he was appointed as the royal watchmaker for Louis XVIII in 1817. Just four years later, he de...

Super post, Mike. Very interesting details on the ceramic ring.

I played with the proto at the SIHH, and loved it a lot. But I must say that I love the MB Rieussec a lot. Even though it is a Young Watch, I already see it as an icon. It brilliantly brings MB DNA. As for this version, it adds a touch of mystery, magic a...

Wizard of MB? :) Cheers Robin

I wondered if it was just luminescent enamel "baked" onto the ceramic dial

By: mkt33 : November 16th, 2014-06:07

Otherwise I couldn't believe how good those curved numerals look with lume..the details are pretty sharp. Thanks for your input, I am sure MB likes to hear that they are bringing out some good designs. Best, Mike

The best part is always part 2 :p

Thanks for the tag team! Your report is superb Mike! Thanks to Montblanc HQ for sharing some of the technical details with us PuristS here too Cheers Robin

Looking forward to more information from Montblanc

By: mkt33 : November 16th, 2014-06:08

Always remember there will never be a part 2 UNLESS there is a good part 1 :-) Best, Mike

As always, great write-up, Mike!

This explains everything about Rieussec and relationship to Montblanc. Anyone interested should read this. Great job, Mike! Ken

Thanks KIH...I never knew Rieussec ever put his chronograph

By: mkt33 : November 16th, 2014-07:20

into a wristwatch until I did some more research. Actually, the chronographs in his wristwatches were more traditional...in the sense that the hands moved, not the disks. Warmest, Mike

Very informative write-up

Fabulous write-up. Makes me wanna get it even though I have the 'bull-horned' NB. Luckily I have budget constraints. LOL

Good to see you here again bro!

By: Todd B. : December 19th, 2014-06:19

Great write up Mike. Love it. As you guys know my first love was my NR steel bracelet I bought a few years back. I might be in the minority, or maybe it's my love for the watch, but I love the bull horn bracket on my NR. That's not to say I don't love the...

Good questions Julien!

Yes the ceramic disc is more off-white and is a little different in color than the main dial which is white. I recall i noted this when i last saw the watch. The difference is not great though and I thought the slight off white color of the ceramic disc g...

Thanks a lot Robin

By: BOUSJ : May 26th, 2015-01:14

I am sure I am not the only one wondering about this Super Luminova. I fully agree with you on the point that the difference of color for the Ceramic Disc is a " plus " . I am curious to read what Montblanc gonna tell you about this S.L. . One more time t...
