Great calibre, but nowadays also tend to forget the other amazing calibre 13.21
This watch has for me without any doubt been the watch I had to have after having seen it. After having this 2seconds in my hand I immediately purchased the watch.
This was not the case for other beautiful watches: Lange Datograph PG, Vacheron Cornes de Vaches,... Although these are double the price.
And yes will wear this watch next week at SIHH and who knows will also purchase the blue version.
Currently am found of all the things Villeret is doing although many of my friends (WSA - Bruno) will not understand
Montblanc 1858 Collection – Part Two
Dear PuristS I hope the first week of 2016 has been a great start for all of you. After the year end break and a very busy first week of 2016, I finally have time to continue Part Two of my 3-part series on the Montblanc 1858 collection. To recap from Par...
Interesting write up
I can clearly see the historical links when you put them side by side. Excited to see what Mont blanc has for us in 2016. Cheers Shawn
Happy to see you love this so much!
The red gold and black dial combo is really very nice. And the movement of course... To die for! Cheers Robin

You know Alex...
We are on the same boat Firstly I also love the calibre 13.21 in my Villeret chronograph grand feu enamel. Secondly, I am also in love with all things Villeret. And not many of my watch collector friends understand why Montblanc. But slowly they are seein...
Interesting comparison post, Robin. Several thoughts...
1/ I prefer the larger hour hand of the vintage. 2/ I prefer the large minute hand of the 1858 Tachymeter Chronograph. 3/ Montblanc has a winner, with this Chronograph. They worked very well on this one. It is not, in my eyes, a Tribute, it is an hommage ...
Thanks Nico for your feedback
I hope you can get it eventually This Chrono is like made for you! The steel version with blue dial Cheers Robin
Lol!
And he will poison you for sure! I felt it was too big on me initially but when I saw it on his wrist, I was deeply poisoned Cheers Robin
wish it were 39mm
I love this neo vintage montblanc line, it hits the mark like tudor black bay. i wish it were a more classical 39mm or 40mm though. edward
Agree Edward
A 39 or 40mm will be perfect The calibre 13.21 will be good for that size but the calibre 16.29 (which is already 38mm) needs a min of 43 or 44mm hence the larger size Maybe Montblanc will consider having the calibre 13.21 in the 1858 collection next time...
