Montblanc

I would like to ask you for a favour in my new moderator role - to give me some more transparency, so to speak Arie has already done a roll-call for the owners of the 1858 Tachymeter and I have had a look at various postings here over the past several yea...  

Salmon dial with Arabic numerals. But no picture - she is away at the doctor\'s for a little tune-up. I will welcome her back soon and post a photo... Best E.

And there will be more of those, as I know of several others already Thanks Esharp!

two original Minerva from the Frey-Era left here, one is the Anniversary Dial Model other is the Avus II chronograph. I post now only a picture from the chrono, but I will make some others also from the Pythagore! Yours, Adam ...  

Just wow. M4

Any others?

3 Pythagores, one (if I recall correctly) Avus II Chrono!

. . . and I'm interested in acquiring additional Minerva movement pieces. I liked the new Time Walker UTC, but don't have a need for a multiple time zone watch, so will pass on it. M4

You answered just as I was asking What's your view on the Rally Timer Counter then, M4?

. . . the bold red letter words RALLY TIMER on the dial. It would be challenging for THE top spot on my buy list if not for that (unnecessary) inscription. M4

I find it is much more subdued on the wrist than in some of the pictures. But it certainly isn't an only / everyday watch

1858 chrono #56 for me. Would not be surprised if I add one more down the line at some point

And that is quite a piece Quite curious to see, which one may be next for you! So 3 Minerva Pythagores, 1 Minerva Avus II and 2 Montblanc 1858 Tachymeters in SS so far...

...  

What a beauty you have! And it's another Minerva, leading to: 3 Minerva Pythagores 1 Minerva Avus II 1 Minerva Heritage Chronograph 2 Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter in SS

These are some of my Montblanc useful objects..... Montblanc Rieussec Chronograph GMT, Marcel Proust Edition fountain pen, Meisterstück fountain & ballpoint pen set and leather goods Do I qualify? Regards, MTF ...  

Was waiting for your Nicolas Rieussec already! I guess as is often the case with the brand, the pens came first?

We collected pens before watches. Those were the days when I actually did handwriting daily. It was also the corporate culture in my company that Vice Presidents wrote with a Montblanc Meisterstück fountain pen. I never found out if they bought it for the... 

Funny how such cultural artefacts develop in companies Thanks a lot for sharing this!

the Swedish Marin, VD 712! Best Blomman ...  

And I believe one of the few post WW2 military Minervas, right?

I was hoping you would find out the facts! Best Blomman

I have a TimeWalker dual carbon chrono, a Star Chrono, 2 Meisterstuck pens (145 ballpoint, legrand fountain pen), a F Scott Fitzgerald fountain pen, a Marc Newson FP, and a starwalker fineliner plus leather goods, fragrances, etc. Love it all! But I'm not... 

Quite a collection! As a TimeWalker owner - what is it about the new model that you like less?

But I'm not a fan of the elimination of the skeleton lugs that made it iconic, nor the reduction of the numerals as a primary focus on the dial. I understand that the new bezel is more functionally useful, but that was another change that I'm just not use... 

The skeleton lugs have indeed become iconic - curious if the two variations will continue side by side...

Only one, the Minerva Pythagore A481-R8 and the signatures of André and Jean-Jacques Frey Best Regards Livius ...  

Pythagores in the lead for the moment with 5 examples

...  

Thanks for chiming in! 3x 1858 responded so far.

But I guess we already know how many 1858\'s are around ;-)

My passion for this one is very strong. Because of it, I definitely will pursue another when the time is right. ...  

A 41mm Seconde Authique white gold with the grey dial. 13.21 movement. An old photo from our dear Kong... ...  

It is a brilliant piece and I would of course hope for regular updates / pictures

One of my dreams. ...  

Yet to see one live but they are as rare as hen\'s teeth

And we have 4 - soon to probably be the most widespread And for very good reason, too!

...  

Wow - a P10 Edition! Plus an 1858 Prototype, right?

...  

TimeWalkers seem to be somewhat rarer here but you have a wonderful example

Thanks for the roll call. Here\'s my Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours and Sports Chrono.

Let me find and old picture of yours and add it

Tried many times. Couldn\'t upload photos....

...  

KMII, thanks for posting for me! In the meantime, would you mind looking into what happened to my account. It\'s happened before and Robin helped me resolve the issue of not being able to upload pictures. Thanks.

...  

Do you have any of their watches, even if no pictures of them? The Rouge et Noir is quite the thing!

...  

Now for the tongue in cheek question - does Tag Heuer know? Thanks for adding your collection here - will chronicle the watches later today - and I can only say that I\'m looking forward to seeing you here very often

Look at this movement... One of the best in terms of decoration, for me. ...  

there could be something special to follow soon... Cheers Andrew ...  

And a spectacular watch, too Looking forward to the 'orange' Montblanc!

Oops took this pic some time back but forgot to share here. Confession of a Montblanc fan: My mini Montblanc shrine. Montblanc Villeret chronos, Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum, 4810 ring, Augmented Paper with Starwalker pen, various cufflinks, Meisterstuc...  

Quite a shrine and a steep path for me to follow! Let me get to the office for a quick intermediate count by line...
