Montblanc

Lots of of details have been discussed on PuristSPro’s Montblanc forum, concerning the new Montblanc 1858 collection — especially the 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter, with the beautifully-designed and finished calibre 16.29. I would like to share a three-part...  

You mean my writing is that boring?!! :p Cheers Robin

But yes that was the killer statement from my post indeed. I am doing lots of wrist exercise now to hopefully increase wrist size lol Cheers Robin

I doubt it will increase wrist size to be honest Luis but at least it is helping me to keep fit Cheers Robin

And congratulations. I can't wait to see it on your wrist!

Thanks to your well written article, I am also now tempted by the 1858 Small Seconds, albeit the black dial one with the vintage lume. Alas, my skinny wrist may not be able to handle it. So like you, it's time for me to do some push-ups! ;-)

We can do a push up gtg for the gang! :p The 1858 manual small seconds is also quite big at 44mm and as it is thinner, I feel it wears even larger on the wrist. Go and try the regular 1858 Manual Small Seconds when you have the time at the Montblanc bouti...  

Gtg with sports watches as main theme lol Cheers Robin

going to buy this and put my left hand to work, while using my right hand to guzzle those protein shakes! ...  

That this steel blue dial 1858 chronograph Tachymeter caught my attention. Initially I had assumed this watch is just too big for me and I would pass but now I am convinced and prepared to wear a larger pilot theme watch . Remember you teasing me to share... 

decided to add it (the blue steel version) in your beautiful collection. Wait to discover parts II & III ;-)) Congratulations Robin, Cheers, Patrickh

Part 2 and 3 will come soon I really hope to showcase the 16.29 more. Really a beautiful movement which I had targeted for the longest time - just that it has always been on Montblanc Villeret watches that were too big for me like 47mm (even the 43.5mm Vi... 

You had covered some of it in your review too I hope to expound on this topic more Cheers Robin

I replied the first time I saw the photo of the blue you posted. It is definitely a watch to have.

What a job he is doing with Montblanc.

I thought he was Wizard of Oz, the strong and mighty :p Cheers Robin

Is growing very strong in you Michael! Don\'t resist anymore! Ask your local AD or boutique soon Yes you can blame me, I blame Nico, Nico blames Jerome.... Actually I should blame Alex Schmidt - he was the first one who showed me this watch in the metal! ... 

I placed one on hold in October ;-)

Must have missed your post on this. Congrats my friend!! Soon we can do a roll call! With Alex 007 too Cheers Robin

But in the very first thread about this new collection, I indicated the blue steel chrono would hopefully be my first MB. Usually I don't post when I have something on hold, I never count on it until it is fully "in hand". Hopefully this one will be, next... 

I can\'t wait! Mine will also be in 2016 after SIHH - could be Feb or March Let\'s patiently wait for now Cheers Robin

Quit screwing around and get it locked up. Or have you already as well?!?

And yes be our captain lol!! :p Cheers Robin

But I really should keep off this forum to help myself cope.

Who shall prevail?? Muahahahah Cheers Robin

That's what I did with the 5170 too. Very interesting post Robin and of course... huge congratz for the purchase! This is a great model to have indeed and I'm looking forward to your future posts about it. Have a nice Sunday, Cheers, Mark

Indeed I am always fascinated by the inspiration of watches - especially if the source has a strong heritage. Some call it marketing ... I am ok with this as I like a story behind a watch Cheers Robin

Soon your number of appendages will not suffice for the next meeting, in spite of double booking

I will have to bring my treasure chest watch box then Cheers Robin
