Let’s see how it finally turns out. And a first generation hand wound one is none too shabby - great target!

SIHH 2018: Novelties in the Nicolas Rieussec series
By: KMII : January 15th, 2018-09:29
Following the last updates to the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec lines in 2015 (here: www.watchprosite.com for more) and the pre-SIHH announcement (here: for more), here the full update on the Nicolas Rieussec line from this year's SIHH. Montblanc re...
Thanks 5980!

I also find the update quite a good one. Still need to try it on the wrist for size (44,8mm) but otherwise like it a lot
I was hoping

they would also re-introduce the manual model in a thinner case.

As siad, I felt the 43mm was a tad on the large side already but then it always depends on the lug design and overall shape to see how it wears. Will need to check it out for sure. The height is 15,02mm, so not all that slim, I'm afraid

Always a fan of the Nicolas Rieussec.

Unfortunately I've been fixed on the open wheel designs which only came on manual wind. For some reason, I haven't seen the open (spoked) chrono wheels on the automatics. Did I miss something? In any case, the Rieussecs continue to be unique and amazing.
Fully agreed, Todd!

A truly signature MB piece, with their first in-house movement and bound to remain a classic for the brand
