To be clear, Montblanc doesn't officially have a vintage history for watches
Their watch lines started in 1997 with the Star collection (the original Star watches can be considered vintage now hehe)
What they did with the Rieussec line is to seek inspirations from this great innovator and for that they have done very well and honored the watchmaker well
The other tradition Montblanc has inherited is from Minerva, which again Montblanc always paying tribute to and honoring (and safeguarding these traditions)
Glad you like this post my friend 
I am always happy to share with dear readers like you on PuristSPro

Indeed Montblanc is everywhere! I see them all over Shanghai last week too I am seeing more and more Montblanc watches in the wild too. I believe they are growing this category well Cheers Robin

Looking forward to see more of this! :) Best Blomman
Montblanc has no vintage watches
But they draw inspiration from innovations of the old days from Nicolas Rieussec and also Minerva. Honoring traditions is a good move for Montblanc I feel Part 2 will come soon Blomman. Stay tuned Cheers Robin
Next part coming soon Michael
Yeah between the 2, I like the 2015 version more too due to the superluminova Roman numerals Cheers Robin

I must say I find it a much nice version than the first ones
This grainy dial is by the way very attracting. Thanks for the great article Robin. Cheers, Mark
There is a black dial version in the earlier ones that I like too
but yes are these Homage to Nicolas Rieussec series with that grained white dial is much cleaner and more attractive indeed Cheers Mark Robin
