Montblanc was one of the few Richemont brands which attended the 7th edition of the Salon Belles Montres a few days ago in Paris. It was not a surprise since Paris and France are a very important market for the brand. The large boutique located at the rue...
Is a true innovative and very interesting watch. I need to find some time to check it in metal. Is this watch available on all Montblanc boutiques? Cheers, Nilo
Like you I was seduced by the innovative hours display. About its availability, I must confess that I don't know the anwser but I can imagine that it is already available in the largest boutiques. Thanks! Fx

Thanks for bringing us to the exhibition with your detailed post with great pictures! I am a fan of MB in general for their men's lifestyle products (slowly converting my wife to like their jewelry as I have been buying her some of them - for watches her ...
I really love the progression of the Rieussec line, and the Rising Hours model is very nice. I wonder if MB will make a perpetual calendar version someday :) Cheers, Anthony
