Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Origins. A huge Tribute.
46 mm Bronze case, issued in 2021 in a LE of 100 pieces. 
Here is the reason why I like this version a lot: The hunter case back. I am mad about it.
And now, the reason why it exists in a 46 mm case, side by side with the original from the 30's.
As always, the Cal 16.29 is a feast for the eyes.
Now, my only regret it that it doesn't also exists in a white metal case!
Best,
Nicolas

Huge, but gorgeous.
If only they had kept the original dial design: remove the ugly Montblanc logo and replace it by Minerva and get rid of the stupid Minerva logo at 6 o'clock. Just my feeling of course, but the original dial is so much cleaner. Best, Emmanuel
I really wonder if people will start picking up these timepieces when the Montblanc logo is replaced solely by Minerva
I don't see this happen - they will start arguing that the price is way too high for a Minerva watch. Because that it is, compared to earlier / regular Minerva offerings...
That really is a stunning looking Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Origins.
I know it is bronze and big but the bronze case almost looks like nicely aged gold and although I don't mind the branding possibly just one of the two would have been better. But the killer movement hiding behind the hunter caseback and that inscription r...
In white metal it would have been even nicer 👌🏻👍🏻
Especially if it was around 41-42mm 😁 And kept the Hunter case back 👏🏻🙌🏻
Yes and no…
First of all, practically no one would know (perhaps not a purist argument) and secondly, many reeditions tend to be resized (almost always grown), so making it a tad smaller would not be a premiere 😊
Beautiful!
I am not hung up about the Montblanc aspect. I think the watch is both Montblanc and Minerva. And anyone who are buying these will know enough about the history, etc anyways.
Beautiful piece indeed!
Beautiful watch and especially movement but why in bronze? I would have preferred it in titanium for instance of steel. Bronze is definitely not for this one. I wish they had the Minerva on the dial, would have been very tempting. Best, Laurent
