Weird!
First thing I noticed was the packaging on the 1858 Monopusher was the packaging. That's the same box I got with my TimeWalker. I thought all in-house movement pieces came in the bigger lacquered packaging? I've seen TimeWalker Flyback movements and Nicolas Rieussec pieces all coming in that bigger box, did the boutique make a mistake with the packaging on the 1858?
New incoming: Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph Tachymeter
Last week I received a nice mail from my AD. My MB 1858 Monopusher Chronograph with magnificent Minerva calibre 16.29 arrived. Today I had the time to pick up the watch. As mentioned earlier I fell in love with the watch at SIHH last january. Immediately ...
Truly special piece
Stunning dial and even more stunning movement, congrats! I agree with you on the packaging comment, that is disappointing. You should have seen what Minerva did for watches with this same movement back when they were a separate company, packaging was almo...
Congratulations ++++ Alex 007
very nice Villeret movement and I also like the new logo. Do not hesitate to share some wristshots. You are very lucky to receive it just before Christmas. Cheers, Patrickh
Beautiful photo.
Wear it in good health for a long long time. Congratulations again to you Alex 007. Cheers, Patrickh
Great pics!!
I am so loving your pictures. This watch is really very handsome on the dial with a killer movement at the back Cheers Robin
a stunning piece
in all aspects !! I think indeed this caliber can withstand with other "haute horlogerie" pieces, for all the good reasons. A visit at the Villeret manufacture makes one understand why the watches that are made there are so different from the regular MB c...
When having ordered it, I only knew of the RG version not the steel
Must also say that combination RG and black dial is stunning... Who knows the steel version in about a year as well...
Wow awesome!! Congrats on your Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph Tachymeter!
I'm green with envy 007! Cheers, Anthony
Montblanc Collection Villeret packaging
Firstly, big congrats Agent Alex 007!! This is a beautiful monopusher chronograph with a great design! Love the red gold and black dial combination plus of course that gorgeous calibre 16.29!!! Thanks for sharing with us your new joy and pics You must be ...
Well, I prefer to have a nice watch and a so so box than the contrary. ;)
Honestly, I think Montblanc should better opt for a nice leather AND small pouch or travel case for the 1858 Chrono monopusher, rather than a too big box. We have too many too big boxes... Best, Nicolas
True Nico
If I am not wrong the more recent Villeret watches have a smaller box compared to mine (but same luxurious box). Mine is too big I agree. Takes up a lot of space! Cheers Robin
Box
Robin, if my memory is correct the "box or packaging" from the Heritage Spirit Pulsograph is not like this one. Otherwise it would have not bothered me so much. Will try to find out this weekend once going through all the boxes in the attic...
Ok Alex will be good
To see the packaging on the Heritage Spirit Pulsograph to compare Cheers Robin
Box 1858 Chrono versus Heritage Pulsograph
Robin, My memory is still good. Now I know why disappointed in this box. Both packaging is next to each other. The heritage pulsograph (also Villeret mouvement but much cheaper then the 1858) has a nice wooden box which is equivalent to the watch. Is this...
You mean they messed with the box, and they sent you the wrong box?
Still a big box. I wish Montblanc would release a nice travel box for their fine watches, such as this Chrono 1858 Tachymeter. Best, Nicolas

Box
Robin, Just heard from MB that they delivered the wrong box. new box on it's way after SIHH. Alex
Great news Alex!
I am happy to hear this. Please share pics of your new box when it arrives Cheers Robin
Uhrenverpackung von Montblanc Collection Villeret
Hätten Sie oder jemand anders einen Ahnung, was solch eine Uhrenverpackung kosten würde? Does anyone know how much this packging is?
Buffalo Wristshot
Specially for Bruno: a Buffalo wristshot My clothes (blue/white) do not match the watch (the stainless steel blue version would be better) But tonight my soccor team (AA GENT) is playing a crucial Champions League game! BUFFALO - ALLE AG!!!!! ...
You are killing me!
Looks so nice on you! Keeps the pics coming Alex And enjoy the new watch in the best of health! Cheers Robin
As a user of at least three "good" hand wind chronographs...
Alex007, Thanks for sharing your owner's impressions. Lucky you. As an owner of a few of the hand wind chronographs you mentioned from brands that may jealous, I'm a little jealous too. Nice movement in your watch. As for the boxes, they are not useful un...
While I don't have too strong feelings for MB watches in general...
This one is pretty amazing. These Minerva movements are really quite something, with the lavish decorations throughout of a nice monopusher column-wheel, horizontal clutch chronograph (inner angles, polished anglage etc. Look at that Y-shaped bridge and D...
