Between my work load in the office, my travelling sometimes (I’m leaving again at the end of this week for 2 weeks) and my (very) busy private life, it’s not always easy to find the time for shooting photos and write articles in addition to keeping an eye on all threads on the Indies forum 😉

Let's have fun with some riddles…
By: Mike H : June 3rd, 2023-22:32
It’s time to guess which are each of these Montblanc pens… Some are (very) easy to guess, some others a bit less… You can play now, just identify their # and name them… 😉 Let’s start very easy with #1 Not more difficult with #2 And probably even easier wi...
I know nothing of pens
By: TeutonicCarFan : June 3rd, 2023-23:12
Or writing instruments 🙃, but these look great. For me the VC Mercator and the salmon dial PP are phenomenal
Thanks Bill

PP 5070 chronograph is probably one of the only watches that I have ever regretted. I had to let it go many years ago for getting the needed funds for acquiring my Wonder Watch (PP 3448) as I had no choice. I am still in honey moon with my 3448 after 10 y...
Well…

One — Voltaire Two — Christie Three — Hemingway Four — Proust Five — Humboldt Stumped on the others! Beautiful set of limited editions!
So close!

4 is not Proust. It's Medici. But Proust does come up!
Almost correct ;-)

Beautiful pens and watches!

Mike is this part of your collection or random pics? I love watches and pens and obviously I collect both, there’s so much to learn about pens, my god I know nothing about pens besides the way it looks and feels (only fountain pens)
Just be a bit patient please 🙏

Totally understand!

All great things take a great amount of time!
Can you cook?
By: patrick_y : June 4th, 2023-20:50
Cooking is about pairing individual ingredients with another at the right time at the right heat. You might be good at cooking too! I can't cook very well unfortunately. Pasta anyone? It's probably the only thing that I cook well, the pasta is always al d...
I LOVE cooking, hehehe!
By: Mike H : June 4th, 2023-21:15
I miss time to do it often but when we have friends coming at home and we plan something special that needs time for preparing, I am usually the one in the kitchen
👍 great 👌👌
By: Mike H : June 5th, 2023-04:42
Let me know (I hope not in August as I’ll be away on holiday)
Will do!
By: patrick_y : June 5th, 2023-15:32
Beautiful 🤩 😍

Superbe collection of Mont-blanc and great idea to do a pairing with the watches. (Love the Mercator, 5124 and of course the 5070 BtW)..I feel that in these static shots, the watch and pen are reinforcing each other and create uniquely beautiful collectio...
Thank you JP

It is a pleasure every evening chosing my watch, pen, and cuff links for the following day depending on my outfit, meetings and mood And yes you are correct #6 is Marcel Proust LE Writers 1999 Btw the Gondolo is a 5024G the predecessor of 5124 .
Oh! Wow! I missed that!
By: patrick_y : June 4th, 2023-17:59
I thought it was the 5124! But now that you mention it and I take a second look, I do see the dial is a little smaller than the 5124! Thanks for pointing that out! No perfect score for me!
Actually much more than just the dial is different…
By: Mike H : June 4th, 2023-19:09
The case is not the same : kind of rectangular on the 5024 and more tonneau curvex shape for 5124. The more rectangular double gadrooned case of 5024 gives a more art deco look (that I highly appreciate) The caliber also is quite different: while the 5024...
Ahh! Good to know!
By: patrick_y : June 4th, 2023-20:47
Yes, it's not just limited to the dial, but the whole case! I really liked the 5124. I sometimes wonder if I should've procured the 5124J or the 5124G with salmon dial. I liked both. Didn't like the blue dial version as much. But ultimately I never pulled...
We are not yet done, the last one #7 is still missing...
