You can see our original review on the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Automatic watch here. Both that watch and the 2014?Montblanc Homage To Nicolas Rieussec model share the same movement, and you can see our previous article for more information on the movement and the genesis of the collection.
