With Which Watches Do You Pair Your Montblanc's?

[Nicholas Green]

What do you generally pair with what, when it comes to your pens and watches?

 

I generally pair my Cartier Ballon Bleu Black Chronograph with my A380 Skeleton.

 

 

This is the selection of watches which I currently have: (I usually pair the Montblanc Flyback with a 149.)

~ I generally pair my Timex Indiglo with my Montblanc Cruise ballpoint.

Considering that I haven't worn a wristwatch in nearly half a century, exclusively using the Indiglo for timing student presentations, it's the only possible pairing.

It might seem a tad pretentious, but such is life.

While I do have watches, and more than a few pens, it has never occurred to me to try to match or pair them... hmm...

 

nah, I'm just clueless

Bill, its a different case for me. I don't have enough money to support my fountain pen, wallet (mostly LV's), sunglasses (again mostly LV's), watch collection. (then there's also my comic books and anime action figures)

So yeah, I don't have enough money to support these uh, addiction?, erhm collections?

I don’t wear a watch, either, so toss me in with Tom. About the only thing I tend to match are my earrings to my outfits and that’s more of an aesthetic color choice thing based on the stones. I haven’t found anything my pens don’t go with.

This is me .

I wear a Rolex GMT BLNR and usually carry a MB UNICEF ballpoint. However, Im thinking about getting another MB. Id appreciate everyones thoughts.

 

I know its vain. But, I need something to break up the conformity of the gray flannel suit.

 

PS - Im relatively new to the forum, but have appreciated everyones insightful posts.

No chance to really "match" ;-)

Being stuck to titanium watches I mostly wear some really great Citizen watches or a titanium Stowa diver's watch.

 

I may take some pictures later.

 

Cheers

Batman, nice!

 

Last year I wandered into local dealer & asked about BLNR... he laughed.

 

Came out, dropped into local MB boutique down the road... picked up a small bottle & the staffer uncapped a nice FP for me to fill their form in. Felt nice in hand, compact... asked if that's for sale... she laughed - turned out to be some UNICEF LE from a few yrs back, all sold out.

 

Ah well.

 

I like vintage

[Seaborn]

Tamiya,

 

Same here. Over the phone with my local boutique I asked about a 1917 LE JFK and heard only laughter.

 

I recently did see a de Balzac complete set and was entranced. Unfortunately, my wallet was less enthused.

 

The search continues...

 

Have a great weekend!

Will try to match both watch & pen with Montblanc..

Welcome to the forum! Unless you’re an undertaker, how about a little color?

[praxim]

My watch collection feels excessive at three examples so matching opportunities are limited, especially because none of my watches are black plastic and none of my Montblancs are metal. I have more scope with S T Dupont or Waterman.

 

Meanwhile, at first glance I mis-read Ghost Plane's post to say...

... About the only thing I tend to match are my earnings to my outfits ....

 

which seemed eminently sensible to me.

[jmccarty3]

My watch collection is limited as well--an Omega steel Broad Arrow Chronograph for everyday, along with two simple Patek Philippes and a Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso for dress. I don't make any attempt to coordinate watches with pens.

Will try to match both watch & pen with Montblanc..

 

 

Very nice Daeng! Thanks for the pictures.

Have a great weekend!

This Sunday was our annual Pen Show, weekend undoubtably great

 

Got to leave fingerprints on many nice pens, but nothing much I needed. Plenty of MBs on offer (but I only bought some ink haha)... but in a strange reversal, Pilot was there in huge force today - there were some Namiki Maki-E units for sale dearer than the usual MB prices. Not particularly interested in anything just because they're expensive, tbh... wasn't enthused enough to take a second glance,

 

Pen Show attendees often like good watches too so I sported a classic Tudor Oyster Prince. Rather chilly day today so everybody was wearing jackets; sadly long sleeves make (surreptitious!) wristspotting a bit harder... didn't get to spot anything interesting today. Last year was warmer & no jackets, saw a fair few latemodel Rs, some vintage Omegas etc.

Melbourne Pen show? I'm so sad I couldn't go because of work (plus it being interstate).

[Seaborn]

Ghost plane,

 

A splash of color could be nice.

 

I held a Beatles special edition, but it didnt sing to me (couldnt resist).

[meiers]

I do not want to start overthinking pens, watches, suits and ties. To me pens are writing instruments and writing instruments only. However, I enjoy seeing other people having fun with their pens and watches. As long as no one gets hurt, it is all good.
