Montblanc

Glad to have some hands on time with the red hot Montblanc 1858 Split Second Chronograph LE 8. This is a 44mm vintage style titanium mono-pusher, rattrapante chronograph which is inspired by 20th century chronographs. It features a rather interesting and ... 

Personally, I feel that a case size of around 39mm would have been perfect.

It’s still a beautiful watch, but sometimes less is more.

Downside is it will be limited by its size because not everyone can carry it off.

My favorite iteration

Last I heard 3 pieces are taken.

But I did not take the plunge for this as I prefer smaller watches.

So, did you decide to keep it in your collection? Best, Henry

All alterations of this line are very nice and this one adds a very low number and titanium to it. A magnificent piece with a top tier chrono movement!

The red dial is stunning! You will love it!

Will you order one?

However I didn’t order one although I was tempted for awhile as I can’t carry it off. As you can see from the wristshot, the lugs sticks out from my wrist.

However I did not take the plunge on this beauty as I generally prefer smaller pieces in the classic 38-40mm size.

I can still wear the 1858 Tachymeter with the 16.29. I guess it’s because the case is slimmer.
