The size
I guess prospective owners will have to try this watch on their own wrists. The short lugs and wide strap really do help the watch to sit comfortably, and I have a fairly small wrist too. I didn't really have any concerns with most cuffs, but the watch is obviously larger and you do 'notice' it on your wrist, more than the Zenith, for example.

Review: Montblanc TimeWalker Automatic Chronograph
The Montblanc TimeWalker Automatic Chronograph When I was offered the opportunity to wear the TimeWalker Chronograph for a few weeks I thought it would be an interesting experience. The chronographs I wear regularly are based on designs that are more than...
nice review
very nice review. i appreciate the straightforward, practical approach. it's a good looking which with a decent quality movement, which, at the end of the day, is good enough to consider giving it a look. although, compared to your zenith, i think it come...
Thanks Chris ...
As you can see, I tend to wear historically significant / traditional pieces. The Zenith is small by modern standards. The TimeWalker was therefore quite a departure for me. But I found it surprisingly comfortable and versatile at work and at play. And a ...

Note to PPro Exec team
Give more watches to Andrew!!! Great review. Pleasure to read All the best Damjan
Too nice, Damjan ...
I'm pleased you liked the review. My aim was to present it in such a way that you could imagine what it was like to wear the watch yourself. I hope I achieved that. Regards Andrew
Thank you for the review...
Thank you for the review of this nice, simple, and clean watch. A perfect watch for the young professional of today. I'm mostly surprised by the strap, the strap looks wide, a little thick, and very comfortable. Another surprise is the rate accuracy of th...
Comfort
Hi Patrick, The TimeWalker was indeed very comfortable to wear for extended periods, and the wide strap contributed significantly to that. I liked the buckle too. Mike commented in a previous post that it tended to get caught on sleeves, and the first thi...
it sure looks large compared to the others
not having the outside bezel allows the dial to be much larger. Perhaps an ideal watch for those with aging eyes ... Cazalea

... of the time display is excellent, and even better when the shiny RG hands catch the light. The chronograph minute and hour totallisers are more difficult to read because the hands carry over the blunt end design of the main hands. But in practice this...
Even though...
I was never much into the Montblanc range, this watch for instance offers great finish and design and it really strikes a very positive and appealing image in my eyes. Thank you for the detailed review and excellent photos! Filip
Design flourishes ...
Thanks Filip, There are a few nice design flourishes in the watch like these skeletonized lugs (which is carried on into the buckle). I appreciate the complement on the photos, even though I wish I could do better for you. I tried to demonstrate what it's...
Massive watch
Hello Andrew, thanks for your very informative and lovely pictured report! Particularly the comparatative shots with the Zenith and the Speedy illustrate how hefty and bulky this watch is. Although I like the dial layout and some design elements, this wou...

Andrew, good review...
... like the way of your writing for this watch... the review is very fair with your humble viewpoints. among all the features of this MB TW Chrono, i like the bowl-shaped case... quite nicely designed. the gold hands and hour markers on black dial looks ...
Great review, Andrew!
I really loved reading your thoughts about the TimeWalker chrono. I think the combo of black and rose gold on the dial of this watch may make it my favorite iteration of this model. It does seem to be a solid entry into the world of Montblanc watches, alt...
"Why cut off the ends?"
I know where you are coming from with this. The chronographs I am used to all have very functional displays. Many would say, and correctly, that this is what a chronograph is all about. But this watch is not going to spend its time at the football or the ...
Thanks for the review Andrew
The TimeWalker is a decent watch for Montblanc's entry level line. I know I enjoyed wearing the Black Ceramic TimeWalker Chonograph w/ bracelet when I reviewed that watch. There's something about the overall design of the TimeWalker which I find intriguin...
Brilliant review.. and superb post
thank you very very very much for that. Best Imran
Thanks for the review..
Interesting. Since my report on Montblanc event in Tokyo, this brand has been pegged in my mind and I was going to visit the boutique again. I am very much looking forward to the next year line-up from Montblanc, too! Ken
Another deft touch from Montblanc's design department . . .
. . . is the angled orientation of the date aperture, which blends in with the dial rather than stand out . . . cordially, Art
Comments from a WIS 'Focus Group' ...
I took the opportunity when meeting with a group of WIS to pass the TimeWalker Chronograph around and get their comments. Here is what they had to say: "An aspirational watch for young Execs." "I like the buckle and lugs." "I wouldn't call it a 'dress chr...
Great review Andrew....
An interesting watch.... One thing though..... I think that the buckle is a tad big, almost Panerai like..... Thanks again for a great review... Cheers
Well, the buckle is ...
... not small, but I think it works well with the overall watch, which is not particularly small either. I found the buckle easy to use, and appropriate for the wide strap. It's another aspect of the design that people will have to decide on themselves. T...
Nice Review
Very nice, Modern style especially when compared to the Zenith and Omega. Surely a timepiece for your fashion forward individual without overdoing it
Pilot Version
Here is the Timewalker Pilot, wich have only two subdials (seconds and chronograph minutes). The design of this watch is really great, it would have been perfect with a in-house mouvement. That's why I'm just waiting the timewalker Twinfly !!!...
Excellent choice! Got one myself :-)
Did you get a chance to read the review? click here I hope you will share some owner's insights... Glad to know that there are at least 2 pilot owners out there By the way The Twinfly review will be out real soon. Cheers, Mike...
Timewalker Pilot review
Hello Mike, I ve read your full review, which is great. I totally agree with you as this watch fit as well as in a business as a leisure background !! My bracelet do not have Button to open the clasp as yours. This is even more discreet. When I first Want...
Yes I do have a pic
Sorry to hear that your watch is back in for service. I hope it returns soon. Here is a pic of the Twinfly in steel. If I recall correctly, the Twinfly will be available to the public next month. It is a good watch with Montblanc first in house chronograp...
DLC for sure !
Thanks Mike for the picture of the steel version. Now I'm sure that if I can't have/buy the DLC, I won't get the steel one because it's too close in design has mine.... It is said that it 's an in house mouvement (very Nice one), but I've also read that i...
Twin Fly DLC Booked !
After many demands, the rue de la paix Boutique in Paris suceeded in Booking a twinfly DLC with my favourite number !! Delivery in October.... to confirm if I will keep it
Congrats!
Please share your thoughts with us after seeing it in the metal! My review is soon Mike...
Great photo and watch ...
The bi-compax dial is very elegant, traditional and symmetrical, but I also like the practical addition of the date in the unusual position at 6 o'clock. That works for me. The Twinfly - which I haven't handled yet - is a much more modern design, but I ag...
Incredible PHOTOS! Thank you
I don't know if I love this watch... the case has a certain something... perhaps MB is finding its identity in this range of its offerings... the case, while weird, seems like it is trying to express something about MB... in some way... I'm not a pen coll...
Further thoughts on the TimeWalker Chronograph
Thanks for the comments, Mostel. It is a few months since I had that watch on my wrist, so it's nice to revisit it. I think the bowl-shaped case, skeletonized lugs and varying surfaces are one of the nice things about the TimeWalker series. It is a very c...
