Montblanc

At the recent reopening event of Montblanc's Vienna Boutique I have had the opportunity to more extensively try out some of their collection. And one of the pieces I have not yet tried - mea culpa as a mod (albeit quite newly minted) has been the Nicolas ...  

if only they come in a smaller case of 40mm or 41mm. 43mm is a tad big for me (and it's thick too). I love this collection even if my wrist can't carry one. Cheers Robin

I tried one several years ago and I had the same feeling. It is a little bit too big for my wrist too. Nevertheless, I really love this timepiece but in its manual winding versions (only two if I'm right). Best wishes Alkiro

Would certainly not be an everyday watch for me either - too skinny of wrist for that as well

Same for me. Best wishes Alkiro

A date you admit to liking

Very nice

I remember when I went to the PP museum. A Rieussec Chronograph can be viewed there. A very cool and versatile timepiece in my opinion if you think to all the different versions which are available. Best wishes Alkiro

Definitely appealing - the chronograph does not dominate, with the time function and the GMT one nicely separated.

jomni1, Then, it is time for me to add poison with your admission of wavering self control...mwahahaha The blue hands and screws change colour with different angles of ambient light. The stylish numerals transport you to a different era and yet the dial s...  

Which is the appeal. I find it shares this quality with the Glashütte Original Pano(Retro)Graph

Given my recent experiences with MB, I no longer lament not having it. But I thought the design was 100%, case / dial / movement.

Very unfortunate how it all went with your 1858 - let's hope it gets resolved quickly and to your full satisfaction!

The Rising Hours to me is an even more interesting version of the Rieussec due to the rotating hour disc. Nonetheless, the whole line is very innovative. ...  

Thanks for sharing your Rising Hours

I suppose the placement of the time module may make it somewhat of a challenge, though Good idea!
