There are more and more fans of Montblanc Minerva Chronographs, with years passing, and rightly so. Basically, you have two gorgeous manual winding movements, the Cal 13.21 and the much bigger Cal 16.29 whose level of finishings is among the best, IF NOT ...

Watches and Wonders 2022: A view on the Montblanc 1858 Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronographs.

Was waiting for this write up!

Among the Montblanc novelties from this year, I would grab the Red Arrow, and I will explain why in my review to come. ;)

I am torn the same way here as I am extremely excited about this watch but fear of a faded passion for the open work design with time…it is indeed hard to assess without seeing it in the flesh and with proper wristshot…

Try to see it in real life, you will know.

I might be able to after all as my AD is supposed to get one in September…crossing my fingers!

Keep us posted!

I will 😁

I’m with you on the bezel. And honestly, I like the classic approach more, just a plain beautiful movement at the back.

I understand, but I like the " prouesse ".

Seulement en français des mots pareils existent 😀

Hehehe, yes!

An exceptional watch in every regards, yet I find myself on the fence still! Maybe I should consider the red arrow too! Merci Nicolas for these details and pictures!

Pleasure, mon ami. You can't go wrong, between the Unveiled Secret and the Red Arrow.

Yes I think you are right on that one my friend!

You will see. It is one my coup de coeur from this year.

I really forward to be able to see it in the flesh, assuming this plan materialize for my AD who was kind enough to ensure we could see it before buying it…

I am highly tempted.

On the wrist it must be so cool to look at the movement like that!

Montblanc CEO Mr. Baretzki wore the steel version yesterday evening

Cool! Any pictures online? I guess i will check!

He has great taste. If you ever meet him, say hello from me.

Met him the last two evenings and also tonight

If he still wear the unveiled secret maybe you could take a wristshot 😁

+1!!!

Here you Go

Wow! Spectacular!

Cool. Well done, my friend.

Merci!

This is a very compelling proposition!

What I think, too. One of the good, very good watches from W and W.

When do you get yours, my friend?

I met the MD of Villeret yesterday evening

And the steel a bit before?

I have not asked tbh

Hentschel programmed for June, indeed.

this movement by itself stands tall with all the merits...

Yes one of the few very good watches I could see at W and W.

Gorgeous...

Thanks for looking, Patrick.

An interesting concept to flip the movement

No, I don't think you will have some extra thickness. I will try to find some informations on that.

Gorgeous

Aaah, this one...

Indeed!

Yes, 40 mm.

Thanks for sharing Nico..

Yes, a bit, indeed.

only a bit

You are really spoiled! ;)

Greetings from the green side of life

Tops!

Thanks for sharing. Of late, i have been pretty impressed with the way MontBlanc had been upping its offering. Thumbs up.

They are doing a great job on these Minerva movements, that's true.

I also like their proportions (heritage inspired ones) - good fit for small wrists

Yes, indeed.

Once in a while, i tend to take a peek at what they have. I don’t have a piece from them yet, but intrigued by the earlier bronze case.

Such as this one?

Yes.

100 pieces, if my memory serves me well.

Thanks for the info

Pleasure, mon ami.

Amazing pieces!

Absolutely. The the Connoisseur, not for the Snob. ;)
