Dinner with Alexander Schmidt - surrounded by novelties

By: KIH : November 29th, 2015-07:10

As you may have noticed, Montblanc novelty tour has been going around the world these past weeks. In fact, Alex Schmidt confessed at the dinner that it has been 5 weeks tour and Tokyo was the last stop, and he would fly out to his family right after the d...

Aaah, this boody blue 1858 Chronograph monopusher, my latest strong love affair.

By: amanico : November 29th, 2015-08:23

It's been a very long time I didn't fall in love with a modern watch. Duometres apart. Happy to see some other real pictures of it, and to see Alex's face. He's a great guy. Best, and thanks for this post, Ken. Nicolas

Yup, blue is very impressively nice....

By: KIH : November 29th, 2015-08:26

... blue dial is kinda in fashion. But really good execution on Montblanc part. I understand your love affair with this one ) Ken

If all goes well, it could well be my first Montblanc watch. [nt]

By: amanico : November 29th, 2015-08:27

This one has me too

By: AnthonyTsai : November 29th, 2015-09:13

I want to see how a black dialed variant will look Cheers, Anthony

In this case, you would have to go for the rose gold, which has a black dial. ;) [nt]

By: amanico : November 29th, 2015-09:14

I'm sure one day there will be a white gold variant w/ black dial. Maybe next year or the year after [nt]

By: AnthonyTsai : November 29th, 2015-09:16

Not so sure... At least in the 1858 Monopusher Chrono Line.

By: amanico : November 29th, 2015-09:40

There must be only one steel version, so they cannot use a black dial for it, and I don't see an hypothetic later white gold using the same dial than the rose gold version.

Then hopefully a slightly different dial varation then that looks as good as this one [nt]

By: AnthonyTsai : November 29th, 2015-09:52

We'll see... I have no idea on how they can achieve that. [nt]

By: amanico : November 29th, 2015-10:00

Alex looked tired

By: MTF : November 29th, 2015-15:09

But I'm not surprised after the world tour... Thanks Ken, Alex and Hisai-san for the close up view in real life. Was that restaurant in Skytree? Regards, MTF

It's called "Andaz Tokyo" in the newly built "Toranomon Hills".

No so far from Jikei University Hospital that I am intimately familiar with... (nt)

My mother goes there every month.... and my office is just one station away :-)) [nt]

Great report Ken!

I saw the same watches as you did also with Alex in Singapore After Singapore he left for Hong Kong then Tokyo and I am glad he is finally heading home The steel 1858 chrono remains my favorite due to the blue dial and calibre 16.29. But at 44mm I have co...

Could be big, but...

By: KIH : November 30th, 2015-03:09

... I am so used to 45mm cases from the brand I moderate ). Let's hope they make SS 39mm version! That would be something, really for us! Ken

There is a way

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : November 30th, 2015-03:17

With the Retour-A-Zero movement (the smaller one used in the 41mm Villeret case)

Good idea! [nt]

By: KIH : November 30th, 2015-03:58

The problem is that the movement may have some issues to be encased in a 40 mm watch. It is so big! [nt]

By: amanico : November 30th, 2015-06:52

Nico I was referring to the smaller

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 7th, 2015-05:31

Retour-A-Zero in the 41mm case, not the Grande Retour-A-Zero in the 47mm case. The smaller one can fit in 39 or 40mm case too (same size as calibre 13.21) Cheers Robin

Aaah ok. I am still a bit green when it comes to Montblanc. ;) [nt]

By: amanico : December 7th, 2015-05:52

You are a master of many brands already :)

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 8th, 2015-05:02

Montblanc I am also learning. It\'s a newer brand relatively (to the Rolex and JLCs) and with lots of new products lately Cheers Robin

You are too kind, but I have to learn a lot. [nt]

By: amanico : December 8th, 2015-05:24

Thanks for the report Ken

By: ED209 : November 30th, 2015-10:18

The perpetual calendar looks nice, I'd like to see it in person. Thanks for the report. Regards, ED-209

It\'s very nice indeed! Cheers Robin ...

The more I see of MB, the more there is to like.

By: KMII : December 7th, 2015-10:04

Thanks for sharing - lots of lovely pieces there. Will need to pay the boutique a visit soon, hope they have the chrono. May be a bit large at 44mm but let\'s see
