Montblanc introduces bronze into its latest 1858 collection.
SIHH will soon be held from 16th to 20th January 2017. Most watch companies are geared up and ready for this yearly event and Montblanc is no exception. David Cerrato (Managing Director, Watch Division) was here last week to introduce three new watches, inspired by Minerva timepieces from the 1930s.

Montblanc 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition
The champagne dial has a sunray finishing to match its bronze case. The magnificent cal MB M16.29 used here is also housed in an earlier model that won the Chronograph price at the prestigious GPHG this year. In this new model, the base plate and bridges are plated in red gold to compliment the overall look of the watch. The sapphire crystal display case back shows off the beautiful movement.
I prefer the understated look of a bronze case over a gold case.
Montblanc 1858 Automatic Dual Time
This Montblanc 1858 Automatic Dual Time comes in a steel case with bronze bezel and crown. It is powered by the Calibre MB 29.19, this automatic movement features a dual time complication with a home time indication and a day/night display below 12 o'clock. The date is cleverly placed in the subdial due to the size of the movement. It looks better without the 6 o'clock partially cut off, like in other watches.
Montblanc did a great job here by providing a vintage style strap keeping with the vintage look. Every little detail counts!
This will make a great travel watch.
Montblanc 1858 Automatic
And finally Montblanc 1858 Automatic in steel and bronze combo just like the Dual time. A simple, pure and classic time only watch.
The cathedral-shaped hands are filled with beige Super-LumiNova for all the three models.
Engraved caseback!
