Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter: 8th Anniversary.

Stunning movement.
It puts to shame the finishing on Patek chronographs 3 times the price.

My how the time flies! Itās a fabulous piece and you have certainly made sure it got featured regularly and have shown its beauty repeatedly! To many more years of enjoying it!
What a wonderful post
Even though you wrote about this chronograph extensively in the past, you manage to excite yet again with such an eloquent and engaging story, thank you dear Nicolas.
Beautiful wrist shots, mon ami. The iconic monopusher chrono!
Itās the kind of time piece that you will keep for a life time and always thinking of putting on wrist š
Strikes me as sublime on a few levels.
The dial reflects a classic look and register-size and location for a chronograph. The large balance wheel and gears/minute-hand combo is extremely accurate, easy to read and easy to set. The large movement fills the transparent caseback with just a thin ...
