A quick wrist shot of a watch which I could borrow to a good friend ( you know who you are ).
Still have to publish the review I wrote about this one...
It was and still is a very cool watch with its blue enamel dial ( yes, yes, you read well ) its titanium case and its superb split seconds movement.
Best,
Nicolas
Key Points from the Discussion

- The Montblanc 1858 Split Second Titanium, with its Minerva movement, stands out even when compared to other significant chronographs like Lemania calibers and the Lange Datograph.
- The watch's aesthetic is widely appreciated, with its blue enamel dial and titanium case contributing to its unique appeal.
- The release of this watch was approximately two years prior to the discussion, indicating its lasting impression within the collector community.
