Congratulations on your latest incoming 🎊🎉🎈
Looking like a surprising piece indeed 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Christmas present has arrived early! Club M58
Glad to receive this limited edition MB (Club M58 2nd series) from boutique in this weekend. A simplistic design, with hidden peripheral rotor on dial side, which can be revealed by turning the bezel/ polarizer. The caliber inside is an uncommonly seen au...
Thank you, Orahu. An interesting and special timepiece indeed.
Diameter 42.2mm. I don't have the official dimension on case thickness, but it measures around 12mm including the dome crystal.
Congratulations on your latest incoming 🎊🎉🎈

congratulations!
I saw this one in the metal as well, very impressive piece - especially when showing the alps on the outer ring
Thank you, my friend. Yes, the Alps on the "secret" peripheral rotor over the dial is gorgeous.
If the laser engraving of Minerva manufacture on the caliber could be changed to Geneva strips like the other bridges, it will be even more attractive. Having said that, the inward angle polishing in the current caliber is already very nice.
Congratulations! A very unique piece, I love the Minerva arrow seconds indicator.
Here is mine, with the rotor aperture closed. ...
Thank you!
Frankly the fake alligator that comes with the watch by default is an embarrassment ... Can't understand how someone at MB thought it made sense for such a special piece.
Looking great Grigor!
I’m guessing by way of nyc boutique… maybe have seen a video of this one at one point 😂
Thank you, Als. Great to meet another club M58 member. Agree that the original calf strap with alligator print is strange.
Your orange alligator strap matches the blue gradient dial perfectly. Is it from MB or third party? I will change the strap soon too.
Fascinating!
Hadn’t been aware of this AT ALL - have they done others like this? How do I learn more about upcoming ones? I’ve been sorta looking for the right modern time-only addition to my Pythagore and my PAM322 with its Minerva calibre…if I have one brand loyalty...
Love for this ref
Have been wanting a time only Minerva. Alas not in the 58 club 🤷♂️ thanks for sharing
I definitely can see that
The dial and hands aren’t 100% my liking. I have just been wanted a good time only from them. I tried a RaZ and just didn’t like how it sat on my wrist. The good news is I’m sure they’ll use that movement in other iterations !
That's fair, I myself was on the fence about it, it felt a bit too trendy for a Villeret piece.
But as a one off, I think it is ok to do something different.
I thought the same and still liked it a lot
in the end it was also a vote from my budget (and my wife) with some heavy incomings (pens and watches) along the road ....
Thank you, Teutonic. MB did release a time only timepiece using antique Minerva movement in an even smaller run of 38 pieces few years ago.
Another option is the MB heritage pythagore small second, released in around 2021.
Correct!
The LE 38 was tempting, I recall the seconds being too high up so I passed. The Pythagore in like nice, the movement didn’t excite me. Us watch guys are picky 😂
Not at all. I second your comments completely.
The LE 38’s vintage Minerva caliber is gorgeous, except a bit small, resulting in high up position of small second towards the centre. I am also not particularly fond of the Pythagore movement, lack of inwards angle 😅
Looks like you were a very good boy this year
and Santa rewarded you accordingly! Wear in the best of health!
Being a huge fanboy of Montblanc
I especially like their watches, they are quite nice. I wish they would come back with their version of the ultra thin. The one you have is very nice and quite interesting.
