And I totally get it, would be a brutal(ly nice) choice for me too... Duomètre or MB Ratrappante.. pffff just wow

My goal for 2022 was to consolidate and get a JLC Duometre Chronograph

I have sold 3 watches in 2022 with one more to go. I almost pulled the trigger a few weeks ago on a Duometre in rose gold. Then I came across this and I just couldn’t resist. It’s really an unplanned purchase but I feel given its rarity I won’t have anoth...

you wear it well - congratulations on this rare and beautiful piece

Didn’t know this iteration, I see it was/is a limited edition. Can you share a bit more info? Thx, Dirk

Thanks! it's the first generation of 1858 Rattrapante, in bronze, 44mm.

Fantastic purchase. Sometimes we have to act on impuls. Enjoy!

By: LarsG : January 12th, 2023-10:28

Thank you. To be frank very often my impulse buy proves to be incorrect but I think i made the right choice here

By: loujo : January 12th, 2023-21:38

Congrats on this first version of the 1858 Split Seconds. Super catch!

By: amanico : January 12th, 2023-11:31

Thanks. I actually didn't even know about the fancier line of watches from Montblanc until I first learned about them from this forum

By: loujo : January 12th, 2023-21:40

Enjoy, it is a great watch which is also in my list.

By: amanico : January 12th, 2023-21:45

Never saw this before. Very impressive.

By: ArmisT : January 12th, 2023-13:24

What material is the case?

This is the first gen of 1858 Rattrapante in bronze.

By: loujo : January 12th, 2023-16:10

I never owned a watch with bronze case before so this is the first one.

Congratulations! Such a beautiful movement, how do the pushers feel?

By: westrop : January 12th, 2023-18:59

Thanks. They feel quite good. Positive click that you can feel and hear each time, but not too hard like Moonwatch with 1861 or ETA 7750 based chronos

By: loujo : January 12th, 2023-21:42

Congratulations. Top piece. Well done.

By: TeutonicCarFan : January 12th, 2023-20:03

Very cool piece I have been picking up some older villeret releases as new they are basically gone. NyC boutique been helpful here. Enjoy!

Thank you, and I learned a lot about their watches from your postings here so I partially blame you for me spending money on this one :)
