For me personally,the 44mm case wpuld be a bit too much for this kind of watch.

Love titanium and the telemeter scale, the only thing which bugs me is the overall thickness on some pictures, possibly inevitable because of the split second...
A lot to like!

A fine offering indeed. I agree with your assessment, Nicolas, and mark me down as a fan of the orange accents. I would add that the crown appeals to me as well. It's a little sportier and aggressive than the onion crown that I love so much on the 1858 ta...
After all the effort...

Montblanc decided on a 44mm case. A significant design error.

As many are pointing out the size is an issue, but so many things make up for it, and being a pocket watch based movement as some critics call it might just be the direct excuse-42 would have been grand! Maybe it's about time to organise a WPS visit to Mi...
So far the best piece to come from W&W 2020!

Thank you for your introduction to this piece Amanico! This and the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar are my favorite so far this year! Of course, this one costs a third of the price!
Hard not to admire this release

Beautifully finished movement, lively dial, simultaneously fresh and traditional. The price is quite good, even if you concede that a large split seconds movement is far easier to construct than a small one. For one, the large diameter of the movement bri...
I can only support that

I have two Minerva/Montblanc in this diameter (both in gold) and it is no problem on my wrist (which is rather normal in size). The weight is also well balanced - unlike my fullly white gold Daytona which becomes quickly too heavy for me when wearing it.
