it is just in the mind
It is an unisex proposal from Hermes (here with Apple watch).
More than that, the second leather turn will protect your skin hand from the protrusive crown.
Just my own feeling.
You have a nice collection, and not obliged to have only the same range size for all your watches ;-))
This one is a winner for sure.
For instance, I had, during several years a 47mm Radiomir with a Minerva movement and the same size wrist than you.
But, it is gone for another top list wish.
Cheers,
Patrickh
Live pics: Montblanc 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter in steel and blue dial
After Nico's wonderful review, I finally managed to get to see this in the metal. Oh man... am I in love with this blue dial and beautiful Villeret monopusher chronograph calibre 16.29!! To be honest, my wrist is too small for this fine watch at 44mm but ...
Incredibly NICE Robin
even on your wrist. Is the size really important or do you still fall in love? 100 ex is so few and some are on the list ;-)) Not me, as I have an other top list priority. My MB Orbis Terrarum is always on my wrist these days. Thanks for sharing this Beau...
I really love it
But it has to fit reasonably and not be overly big Thanks Patrickh and glad you are still enjoying your HSOT
Superb pics, superb chrono, Robin.
First question: Do you really love it so much? Second question: If so, try to find a correctly sized strap, it may help. Wear it tight, this is the only way. Best, Nicolas
I love it a lot
But I do find it too big. Need a very thick (maybe rubber) strap to have a chance to get this to work Thanks Nico
Sorry Robin,
it is far too big for your wrist. I'm coming to Singapore in December - perhaps it would fit to mine... Best, Kari
Try it Kari
But I don\'t think this model is available for display at the boutiques here yet Thanks for the feedback my friend.
I'm trying to find it.
I remember when I had a look at your MB. It was impressive. Best, Kari
I will do so.
I'll check if I can find it from London next week and then in December check the situation in Singapore. Best, Kari
another idea, put a double lenght strap as HERMES proposes
and wear it upper on your wrist. Cheers, Patrickh ...

It does look a bit big on your wrist.
BTW, I'm not saying that so that there is one more for me to have a shot at. It's too big for me as well, and I was offered one. Damn! It is so beautiful. But we can't have them all. Great photos, Robin.
Thanks Padj for the honest feedback
actually I already have a Minerva movement Montblanc Villeret watch so I should be contented
Too big but...
although often pictures taken in a close range give a wrong idea. Try to get a picture taken by someone else at a bigger distance. That might change the view a bit. Btw, what a wonderful watch! Best regards, Dirk
Good idea Dirk!
I still think it will be too big but worth a try to look at a full length mirror and ask someone to take a shot from afar That was what I did for my Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum and it worked fine
Great piece and love the fact that it's in steel!
Just shared your pic on PPro's Instagram Page too Cheers, Anthony
Thanks Anthony!
I love our PuristSPro Instagram page So many nice pics from our community members!
Wow. Is the blue shade really that awesome?
I love it. The lugs are hanging just a bit. Such a special watch though. A bit of a dilemna. But... if you are ever to wear a watch too big for your wrist, steel is the way to go. And with the blue dial, the watch is a bit more fun, more sporty anyways. S...
I'm afraid the ship of resistance is sinking on this new MB!
Maybe you and I will enter the MB ownership group with the same piece?
Yes the blue is THAT AWESOME
In the metal Michael. I strongly suspect you will go for it! :p Thanks for your encouragement. I will try it again next time and if fate has it, it may be mine Else I should be contented with this.... Cheers Robin ...
Very difficult to say from that close
the cameras do these kind of distortions the more you put it close to the subject. Only you can tell (and maybe compare it to a Double Split?) but that would indeed, on the paper, be a very interesting model to consider. Thanks for the live picture Robin....
Thanks Mark
I will try it again if I have the chance The Lange DS felt too big for me when I tried to be honest Cheers Robin
That was my point
much too big for me too (it is 43mm), though my DB25 doesn't look as big with its 44mm. The lugs have a lot to do with this impression (and thickness too). Cheers, Mark
Agree Mark
The lugs has a lot of role to play on perceived size on the wrist Cheers Robin
Yeah one of my friends said the same
That black dials are more endearing than blue dials. For me I like blue dials so ok for me Black dial with the red gold is nicer I feel. Cheers Robin
