We wore a new Montblanc Timewalker model for a little while during SIHH, so we thought you should know a little bit about it. There seems to have been a resurgence in world-timer watches these days among many brands.

Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Open Hometime Watch Hands-On
Several years ago in 2008 Montblanc released an interesting new watch called the Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph. Nicolas Rieussec is accredited with being the guy who invented the chronograph, and the unique design of the timepiece’s chronograph display is meant to honor that original device.
Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours Watch
SIHH 2013 will see the release of a brand new version of the now well-known Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec watch. I find it rather interesting to see how Montblanc continues to explore and expand this collection that started the in-house made Montblanc movement watch collection. Made in Le Locle, timepieces like the Nicolas Rieussec collection…
Montblanc Timewalker ChronoVoyager UTC Watch Review
One of the new 2012 Timewalker models from Montblanc was this Timewalker ChronoVoyager UTC watch. It faithfully follows in the (rather large at this point) Timewalker collection tradition offering a new flavor to the table.
Montblanc Timewriter II Chronographe Bi-Frequence 1000 Watch Hands-On
Precision chronographs seem to be on the mind of many watch makers this year. Tag Heuer certainly has their share of innovations and everyone seems to want to push forth into a territory people once thought of as “well if you need that kinda precision then get a digital watch.” But I digress! Montblanc this [...]
Montblanc Watches Offically Available To Buy Online
I was just informed by Montblanc that pretty much all Montblanc products are not available online for sale. I don’t think their eCommerce site just launched but is still relatively new. I mention this for a few reason. First, it makes it easier for all people to get Montblanc watches, pens, and other products irrespective [...]
Montblanc TimeWalker TwinFly Chronograph Watch Review
Having mentioned this before, I will reiterate that the Montblanc Timewalker has been a watch that I’ve appreciated for a long time…

Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 Vintage Pulsographe Watch
I think I am in love, again. There isn’t much “new” in this new watch from Montblanc’s Villeret location manufacture – but it is a beautiful thing. This is going to be a top-of-the-line dream watch for many. Totally hand-made movement, world-class finishing and the romantic Minerva spirit that Montblanc was lucky enough to acquire. [...]
Montblanc Villeret Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique Watch
Powerfully interesting, this new flagship watch for Montblanc’s Villeret arm builds on the Tourbillon Mysterious of a few years ago. The “mystery” gives way to an open dial, and the tourbillon has double cylindrical balance springs in the tourbillon. Hence the name “Montblanc Villeret Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique.” The large tourbillon makes viewing the “double heart beat” [...]
Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Automatic Watch Review
This watch review is going to be a bit different than how I usually do them. Why? Because shortly before the review I was actually able to visit the manufacture making the movements of this watch…

Montblanc Villeret Grand Chronographe Enamel Dial Watch
Most people haven’t followed Montblanc’s ascension to a high-end watch maker like I have. The path they made from even making timepieces in the first place to where they are now is interesting, and only took about 10 years. Villeret 1858 collection watches are among their highest-end pieces and rely on Montblanc Villeret – which [...]
Time For A Convertible: Watches With More Than One Face
Convertible cars are always those that have a folding down top. People associate the term with wearing sunglasses, breezes that increase with a vehicle’s speed, and mid-life crisis time. Though when you think about it, the term convertible just means “changeable.” Convertible couches are ones that turn into beds for example. And convertible watches are [...]
Montblanc TimeWriter 1 Metamorphosis Watch Transforms
There was a lot of excitement at Montblanc in Geneva for this watch. They only had one of them at SIHH and it was in a case. Still a prototype but I got to check it out a bit. In a nutshell, you press down on a lever on the left side of the case and [...]
Montblanc Grand Tourbillon Heures Mysterieuses Is Like A Watch In A Tuxedo
In Villeret Montblanc is feeling very proud of itself. It has gone from making pens, to being a preeminent watch maker. The recent acquisition of popular family owned (previously) Minerva gained Montblanc that ability to tout in-house movements. So now their watches look nice and have lots of bragging rights. While I enjoy some Montblanc [...]
