Montblanc 1858 Minerva Monopusher Chronograph P.05
Finally getting around to sharing some photos of what has become one of my favorite watches I’ve ever owned. I know this one received some mixed feedback at its release, but I was smitten immediately. This was a 30 piece limited collaboration between Mont...
Wonderful watch and pictures.
" I know this one received some mixed feedback at its release". Why? I fail to see anything wrong with this watch. Congrats! (BTW, 1 or 30, even more amazing).
Much appreciated!
The biggest criticism seemed to revolve around the yellow sub-dials. I can understand that, but it’s totally subjective. I happen to love them. The other was regarding the size. Many wished for a 40mm case as opposed to 42mm. Having owned a different mode...
A beauty!!!
And a pity it wasn’t for the European market… glad that you enjoy it that much
Wow, you might be the first here to get it! Bravo.

Beautiful watch, thank you for the fantastic photos!
The size is perfect, and as you said pleasure to look at and interact with. And whereas the red arrow cousin was clearly vintage inspired this dial is much more modern and a lot of fun, in summer or winter! Enjoy!
I had mine for about 2 weeks when the Chrono hand failed to center.
It’s been a MB for 5 months with no update. You would think they would want to address a broken watch rather quickly for -a customer? But no it doesn’t appear that way. Rather disappointing if you ask me. ...
It is disappointing, and I can relate.
I had to send in a different model to them for service and it took over a year to return. Unfortunately, this is the norm for them. They have very few watchmakers and none of them are dedicated to service/repair, so it takes a long time to get work done. ...
Same problem with my 13.21 caliber from the second generation
Chrono hands have failed to center repeatedly, also after being serviced at Minerva. I assume that there is - at least with some watches - a problem with the parts of the chrono. Many others don't have this issue but I know of some and have been affected ...
Yes
The watch worked well for nearly a year and then the problems started. Problems with the amplitude, the chrono function and later on it wouldn’t start after being wound up. Unfortunately I experienced similar problems with some of the recent new chronos f...
Thanks for sharing
Sometimes the chrono hand becomes loose because the pipe that holds it in the central pinion becomes loose because of the high torque for chronograph hands reset. So when the reset pusher is pressed the hand resets but then slips due to the fit not being ...
I’m experiencing the same with Bulgari GMT chrono.
The second hand doesn’t center anymore. It’s been with the manufacturer for 7 months now and still no word on when it will be fixed. I really like their Octo Finissimo line but this will likely be my first and last Bulgari watch
Uber cool watch made even cooler with the Minerva logo at 6.
I soooo wish that Montblanc had put the Minerva logo on all of the 1858 watches (and frankly left the MB name off the dial). M4
This was a good colab
Between Collective and MB. Eric Wind was consulted as well. Congratulations on this piece. 🤝 PS Nice write up as well
have you read this article from 2023-only 7 watchmakers for the calibre 13.21-build and repair.
