Montblanc

You know the story. I was invited on the 8th of March 2016 to take delivery of my 1858 Tachymeter in Hamburg, Germany, after a couple of months of salivating and dreaming on this one. It was Love at first sight, and an everlasting even stronger love since...  

You have posted many watches over the years but this one is YOU!

In 2016 watch collection was not my activity. Stronger said, i never seen an automatic movement run or a hand wound. While it went fast in 2018 when i bought a few automatic watches, i can celebrate the first year of owning my Frederique Constant Slimline...  

Here's mine. ...  

You know the story. Glad you got a good one and sure wish I had.

Enjoy to the fullest, Nico!

Stellar collection of a great collector ! Legend indeed

And a nice tribute. For me, the minerva chronos are a delight. The only watch I have over 42mm is my cal 16, but as you said, it works here.

...it's easy to forget how good the dial is

Great personal story. Easy to see how you were hooked after seeing this Montblanc / Minerva marvel in the metal, especially if you have had the opportunity to visit the manufacture in Villeret.

that was my drawback on these models

...  

…and I am happy for you that you habe your special piece which will never go!! Obviously there were some examples with issues, so it’s not a watch for everyone…

Enter text Magnificent chronograph. No need to tell you to enjoy it. ...  

I understand, this one is sort of made for you ! Continue to wear & enjoy it in the Best of your health, dear friend !! 😊😊

Somehow, I missed its great edition 7 yrs ago. 😉 I realize that it might have been a sort of missed opportunity for a splendid steel Chrono with a marvellous movement - but we cannot have it all..
