Even if the leather strap is excellent - supple from new on, without the need to be broken in. 


Definitely right on both the date and Automatic πŸ‘πŸ»

While the Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph LE 100 (here: for more) - rightfully - got the most coverage amongst Montblanc’s newly expanded 1858 collection during and after SIHH2018, it is possibly its less illustrious cousin - the 1858 Automatic Chr...  

I handled one recently.

But the MRSP on the Montblanc website for Europe is €3.990. Interesting comparison - wouldn’t have thought of it but certainly see it now

I have to say, it's an excellent piece. Beautifully styled. No cons to the watch itself except it's a little thick. It's very much a sporty watch! Very handsome, rugged and yet a slight vintage look to it. Designers did a great job! Movement isn't anythin...
