Montblanc

If a bit expensive (23k eur even with the weak yen) which puts it against some stiff competiton even considering the very limited production number (14).

So for now these salmons 🍣 will need to suffice…

I wonder why they chose the number 14?

The number "14" is a combination of the "14" derived from the silver ratio (1:1.414), an ancient Japanese ratio of beauty, and the 14 lignes of the movement size.

than the original cal 48 which was 10.5 lignes 23.6 mm in diameter and 3.8 mm in height.
14 lignes=31.5812 mm a 25 % increase in diameter.
The case diameter of neo vintage Pythagore most often seen is 34 mm. Compared to this new diameter the 39 mm is 14.7 % increase.
So they really made the effort to make the new calibre fit the case of the 39 mm
31.5 mm calibre diameter vs the 39 mm case diameter=7.5 mm difference.

Best, Emmanuel

I think it's good that that are LE. I really don't went to see these made in bulk production.

I think the size is 39 mmm. 38 mm would have been ok too. These watchea wear big.

I wonder what the thickness is and the lug to lug.

Did they make the pythagore cal 48 bigger? It seems to fit this case rather well.

I'm gonna check my piggybank 😃

Thanks for sharing the news.

This looks like the Pythagore small seconds that came a few years ago, except they replaced montblanc with minerva.



From revolution watch

I was surprised to see the Goju-no-to there !

Goju-no-to (五重塔) refers to Japanese five-storied pagodas, iconic wooden towers symbolizing the five Buddhist elements—earth, water, fire, wind, and void—representing the universe. These structures, often featuring vermillion exteriors and complex, earthquake-resistant timber techniques, house sacred relics and are commonly found at ancient temples and shrines, with the oldest at Horyuji Temple.

This looks like a scaled up, less well finished version than the Montblanc branded version of some years ago. Difficult to tell from the picture and something to be seen love and compared…
