Very nice watch
Oct 29, 2014,18:35 PM
I love the black/blue day/night way of telling the time. I have the VC world time and it uses a shaded sapphire crystal to denote day/night on the world map and the blue/black is similar in my mind. I have always liked the Rieussec discs for the chronograph. Happy to see you are still enjoying your watch. I am like you in that I reevaluate after a few months of having a new watch and try to decide if I am still happy with my choice and if the reasons I bought it are still important. I think this is one of the best watches Montblanc is offering. Great pictures.

I was shown this timepiece at the Toronto boutique on Bloor, and it was just so lovely!!! I also got to see this lovely piece: ...
Gorgeous -- which is that LE pen?

Glad to see that there are still some raising hours available around the world! I don't think the watch is no longer in the Montblanc website so I am just guessing that few pieces are/were produced. Which LE Pen is the one in the picture? truly gorgeous i...
Great review Christianch!

Thank you for your user review! I am happy to read that you still enjoy this watch very much after 7 months. Also good to hear the mins hand is legible from your owner perspective as this was one concern I had for the watch other than the size which is ta...
yes it is substantial but nice

Yes it is a pretty substantial watch and I hear you - I have a small wrist too and mostly I wear other 36mm or 39mm watches but the balance here is really good. You have to try and see how you feel with it ! Is it my impression or the villeret are even bi...
Great read, Christian. I love a lot these owner's reviews.

Time is cruel for watches which are not well thought. Which is obviously not the case with these Rieussecs. When I think Montblanc and watches, Rieussec is certainly the first name which comes to my mind. And there are some objective reasons behind that! ...
Thank you Nicolas

Indeed the main issues with some watches is the strong emotional "want" factor vs. wearability. I try to buy only wearable pieces but, like in every collection, I do have some that I don't wear as much as I would like !
These "long term" owner's review and in situ pictures are great!

I think most of our watch collections are fairly vast but I'm glad that the Rieussec Rising Hours has enough appeal to make its way into a regular rotation. Looking forward to the next review in a years time ! :-) Thank you for sharing Best, Mike

Thanks a lot Stewart, indeed...

Indeed I think that it is a very special offering among the very special Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph collection. One of the potential issues with this watch is the different way to tell the time but I find it very versatile and with a very interesting su...
I know what you mean about diversity.
By: docsnov : November 1st, 2014-18:59
I have gravitated toward marine chronometers and world time/GMT's, but I within the category I think each of my watches is distinct in relation to dial material, size, mechanical vs. automatic movement, etc., so I think one can still have diversity even w...
