Great post, Robin.

Good to learn more about history behind the Homage to NR, which I do think is very nice.

PS: I suspect its your passion in watch horology; astonishing how you continues to churn out these fantastic posts despite your busy schedules. Superhuman effort indeed, Bravo, my friend!

Cheers,

Thanks for the educational diversion as I sit resting for a few moments in Vladimir. MB seems to be making a mark everywhere as I travel - here\'s the Russian boutique in GUM department store, Red Square. Cazalea ...

Indeed Montblanc is everywhere! I see them all over Shanghai last week too I am seeing more and more Montblanc watches in the wild too. I believe they are growing this category well Cheers Robin

Very interesting post, Robin. I liked the 2014 version, and I am impatient to read Part II.

Soon soon my friend

Part 2 will come soon Cheers Robin

Thank you for the great history, Robin! :)

Looking forward to see more of this! :) Best Blomman

Montblanc has no vintage watches

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2015-05:14

But they draw inspiration from innovations of the old days from Nicolas Rieussec and also Minerva. Honoring traditions is a good move for Montblanc I feel Part 2 will come soon Blomman. Stay tuned Cheers Robin

Looking forward to the next part.

the 2015 version appeals more to me.

Next part coming soon Michael

Yeah between the 2, I like the 2015 version more too due to the superluminova Roman numerals Cheers Robin

My pleasure Richard

To be clear, Montblanc doesn\'t officially have a vintage history for watches Their watch lines started in 1997 with the Star collection (the original Star watches can be considered vintage now hehe) What they did with the Rieussec line is to seek inspira...

I must say I find it a much nice version than the first ones

This grainy dial is by the way very attracting. Thanks for the great article Robin. Cheers, Mark

There is a black dial version in the earlier ones that I like too

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 8th, 2015-21:14

but yes are these Homage to Nicolas Rieussec series with that grained white dial is much cleaner and more attractive indeed Cheers Mark Robin
