Montblanc 1858 Chronograph

You might know Montblanc as a pen-maker, but that’s not the entire story. World famous for its writing instruments and leather goods, Montblanc began making watches in 1997. In 2006 Richemont — Montblanc’s parents company — purchased the historical Minerva manufacture, which Montblanc then took over in order to profit from its horological expertise. Since then, the maison has been churning out some of the finest modern timepieces available. The particular Montblanc we have here is a heritage callback to classic chronographs, albeit modernized for a contemporary audience. Sized 42mm in diameter, this Montblanc features an automatic winding movement and a beautiful retro display. The 'Arabic' dial features twin registers just like vintage Breguet chronos, and the slightly caked coloring of the handset and numerals reinforce the retro looks.  If you love the aesthetics of vintage chronographs, and want something you're unlikely to ever see on another wrist, this beauty is an excellent option! Snag it while you can!
