I hope that Montblanc thinks about how it might capitalize on its beautiful Boheme collection in its Men's watch line. I agree that the smaller ladies' perpetual is much better balanced than the men's counterpart and, to me, its dial is quite lovely: put on a plain bezel and a more neutral strap for a real winner. There's no sin in 36mm.
And the Boheme Bleu just makes me smile. It would never be an everyday watch in 36mm or larger, but it would be a real pleasure to own.
Report on Montblanc at Watches and Wonders 2014 Part II
So today, I spent even more time at the booth and I will have a surprise for PuristS here very soon. And also more private time on the novelties which allowed me to take better pics and some videos - more to come on these later so stay tuned For now, I wo...
Hey Robin...
Really liked Montblanc as well, however, I do think Jerome Lambert is revisiting JLC design a bit with a few of the recent pieces. A bit similar in my view. The complicated pieces were very cool, and the Metamorphosis was neat, but too large to wear I thi...
Thanks Dave for the additional pics!
Very well taken and thanks for sharing them here. Agree the Metamorphosis II at 52mm is large indeed. I have a wrist shot here. My wrist is very small around 6 inch plus a bit and it's too big for me. I have another photo here showing the side profile and...
I would have loved to see the horse only in the dark.
Like a secret signature, like the rest of the luminous indexes! That would have been really magic! Thanks for the great job, my friend. Your reports are top! Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas!
I appreciate your nice words of encouragement. :) Yes it is an interesting thought if only the Horse lumes up. Cheers robin
A glowing horse! Wow...
Honestly, the horse outline appears subtle in the photos. Interesting variation for sure. I'm quite drawn to the Boheme Bleu. Very striking. Thanks for the updates on MB at W&W 2014.
I also like the Boheme Bleu
It's my favorite of the Boheme series. Imagine they have a WG version with blue enamel dial, LE series. WOW.... :) Glad you like the report Michael and thank you for your kind words. Cheers robin
Thanks a lot Robin for the second part of the report.
Well, I don't know what to think about the Rieussec. Maybe except that I prefer it without the horse... I didn't get the point here. Anyway, it is always interesting to discover these novelties through your reports. Thanks! Fx
My pleasure Fx!
There will be more reports to come soon. So much to cover! I thought I was on a vacation but ended up being busier than working :) But it's just a joy to share I cannot resist :) As for the special edition Homage to Nicolas Rieussec, I actually suspect th...
The Boheme is a bit too assimilated to be really 'bohemia'...
probably just a fashion addict to successful role models ;-) The seem to have the same godfather as well ;-) "Honi soit qui mal y pense" comes to mind.... Cheers, Magnus ...
LOL Magnus!
Yes many people have mentioned the same thing. I guess taking some cues of something that is successful is not a bad thing :) There are not exactly the same of course but I do think the feminine design cue is somewhat similar, especially when you put the ...
Hi Robin, tks for the great report!!! I figured out the perfect watch for you is the...
...Nicolas horse !! Reason: It matches your zodiac year and you have been thinking of getting one that is low key, the back has the horse also, comes from your favorite Montblanc brand. Think about it!! Cheers, Gordon
A Great Idea Gordon!
Only the Homage to Nicolas Rieussec special edition at 43mm is a tad big for me. The white dial makes it look even bigger. I do like this watch though and may consider it even if it's a tad big. Maybe on a bracelet, it will look ok (big case, big lugs, bi...

Good idea Dave!
I have never thought of that but you are right. The Boheme range can indeed be nice for men too with a slightly different design. I am perfectly ok with 36mm watches too with my small wrist. Will feedback to MB for this (they read our posts here actively ...
