Great personal story. 
Easy to see how you were hooked after seeing this Montblanc / Minerva marvel in the metal, especially if you have had the opportunity to visit the manufacture in Villeret.

Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter: 7th Anniversary.

 
 By: amanico : March 8th, 2023-09:15

A special anniversarry

 
 By: Weems@8 : March 8th, 2023-10:27
In 2016 watch collection was not my activity. Stronger said, i never seen an automatic movement run or a hand wound. While it went fast in 2018 when i bought a few automatic watches, i can celebrate the first year of owning my Frederique Constant Slimline...

Lovely watch

 
 By: TeutonicCarFan : March 8th, 2023-18:11
And a nice tribute. For me, the minerva chronos are a delight. The only watch I have over 42mm is my cal 16, but as you said, it works here.

You prefer the normal crown shape?

Especially the industrial shaped monopusher crowns

I can imagine, that this 1958 keeps its spot in your heart !

 
 By: hs111 : April 17th, 2023-17:12
Somehow, I missed its great edition 7 yrs ago. 😉 I realize that it might have been a sort of missed opportunity for a splendid steel Chrono with a marvellous movement - but we cannot have it all..

And we still can keep some hope...
