I especially love the 'outboardness' of the subdials on the wristwatch. A sign for a large caliber and an interesting look! Love the hands too! πŸ‘ Cheers, Alex

Wow,these are great.

Visually more attractive to me than most "modern" MB-Minerva iterations.

Maybe 10 years ago...

One of the 46mm pieces was available for sale by BigB and I didn't pull the trigger. I wasn't sure if it was a marriage watch or the real deal... I simply didn't know enough about vintage Minerva. Back then especially 46mm was no issue for me. I'm kicking... 

Possibly my fave wrist shot ever... compliments of my wife

Yes, I miss the magical time of Covid Quarantine in 2020 for enjoying for months on end skateboard sessions with my son. Maskless as well! ...  

I just can't look at that name not on a pen.

...and I'm probably not the only one. I think they made a mistake with the Montblanc name on watches.

It's not snobbery...

...trust me, I wear clothes from Costco : ) It's just a weird thing with me. Maybe because I'm a branding guy. But either way, most of their watches that I like, are almost always far too big. If they made something thin I might bite. Just for you I am go... 

I told you that because it was my first discussion with Jerome Lambert when he was in charge of Montblanc. He asked me " When do you get your first Montblanc watch "?

I answered : " Well, it is not in my plans ". Him: " Ah bon, sure you are "? Me: " To be honest, I don't think I will ever have a MB watch. " Him " Open your mail box ". And then came my 1858 Tachymeter...
