Watch of the Day: The Montblanc 1858 Automatic Chr Watch of the Day: The Montblanc 1858 Automatic Chronograph Limited Edition, a 1858-piece edition (!?) watch heavily inspired Minerva’s vast past archive.

In terms of technology its totally up to date, with a Sellita SW-500 automatic movement, a ceramic bezel insert and a sapphire box crystal - the aesthetics however stem from another era, the dark dial with lumed arabic numerals (in ‘faux patina’…) and cathedral-shaped hands. The case also shows some nicely done details.

While not braking new bounds, a lovely piece still. It’s certainly not for all of us, but if ‘vintage’ is your thing but you value modern-day reliability, this could be yours!

Watch of the Day: Andreas Strehler ´Lune Exacte` Watch of the Day: Andreas Strehler ´Lune Exacte`

Let’s start the week with the world’s most precise moon age indication, from the ´engineer of the brands – watchmaker for the few`. It’s rarely seen and talked about, but to us it’s a masterpiece in outstanding precision and just so refreshing different on the wrist.
Plus, it also features ´Remontoir d´Égalité constant force mechanism´, which was a first in a wristwatch back in those days by Andreas Strehler.

Be eclectic!
