I really love this watch for a number of reasons. The name Montblanc is a detractor to many, which is very nice for those who don’t mind as the watch can be had at very fair prices.
Since you mentioned PP, can you imagine if that was the name on the dial how much this watch would sell for?
I wish when Richemont bought Minerva they kept the name as its own brand, making a few exemplary watches a year such as this with Minerva on the dial. The guy who actually purchases a 16.21 knows he’s buying a Minerva and doesn’t look back. The fact that this watch exists with Montblanc on the dial has done zilch for me in the way I perceive Montblanc. I like/dislike them just as much as I did in 2014. I’m indifferent to MB but I very much love your 1858 Tachymeter.
Thanks for sharing this marvel of machinery. It fell off my “one day” list but you are making me rethink this decision.
Cheers🍻,
Brandon
