Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter: The watch which loves sun.

It must look silly, but try to put some blue dials under the light of the sun... Most of them will look harsh... It is not the case with the 1858 Tachymeter, It loves Sun: And cherry on the cake, one of the finest chronograph movements I know. What's not ...  

Crazy beautiful mouvement. Wow.

I'm happy just looking at the movement! ;)

Now that is a chronograph!

Me too! ;)

Looking at cal 16.29

How I understand you!

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2022-23:33

I adore it! Not a single thing wrong with this timepiece.

Well, they could have given us beveled lugs...

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-08:18

Oh well, perfection doesn't exist...

 
 By: andrea~ : October 2nd, 2022-09:40
...but this watch comes close!

Yes!

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-09:44

There are options as you know….

 
 By: penfriend : October 2nd, 2022-15:06

Other than mine? Yes.

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-17:22

yours with bevelled lugs :-)

 
 By: penfriend : October 2nd, 2022-18:21

Does that exist???

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-20:47

If you downsize the caliber, yes ;-))

Absolutely bluetiful, Nico!

On both front & back! Tfs 🍻

Merci, Watcholic.

A very distinctive and superb look on your wrist! I can understand your big love for it!

Thank you, Chronometer.

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-12:50

I am still waiting with anticipation to see the unveiled secret in the coming weeks. Still not sure if I’m going to go for it or not but I look forward to it.

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 2nd, 2022-13:29

Keep us posted!

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-14:50

Don’t worry, you will be the first to know! 😎

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 2nd, 2022-17:39

Cool. Can't wait.

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-17:54

My challenge will be to decide between getting that one or the VC corne de Vache. I know two different look, but will have to prioritize sadly! I could easily justify both but not t the same from a funds perspective

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 2nd, 2022-17:57

In terms of movement, the Montblanc every day.

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-18:03

Interesting! Even if the VC is also based on the Minerva?

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 2nd, 2022-18:08

Not Minerva but Nouvelle Lemania, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-18:18

did not know that but would always pic MB Minerva first

 
 By: penfriend : October 2nd, 2022-18:23

May I ask why this would be your first choice? Just curious as I am not that versed in chronograph movement per say

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 2nd, 2022-18:40

Having been to Villeret at Minerva several times (this November again) I can simply cherish what they are doing ;-)

 
 By: penfriend : October 3rd, 2022-18:23

Make sense! Thanks

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 3rd, 2022-19:57

Ah! Do you where I could better educate myself on the difference between both? Thanks for the tip!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 2nd, 2022-18:37

Not the same brand! Not the same level of movement finishings, not the same movement...

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2022-20:48

Ok got it thanks! Looking more carefully at the movement finishing from pictures I could find online, you are right not the same at all…thanks again

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 3rd, 2022-00:42

It is very clear, indeed.

 
 By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-07:27

Really curious to read your impression

 
 By: penfriend : October 2nd, 2022-15:06

Me too!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 2nd, 2022-17:53

It's really neat!!!

 
 By: 13ho : October 2nd, 2022-13:37
I want to have one every time I see it, but I'm sad that there's no other way but to buy it used. Because I can't get it used in Korea.

And no possibility to get it worldwide?
