Introducing: The Montblanc Heritage Manufacture Pulsograph Limited Edition, In Rose Gold (Live Pics, Pricing, And Availability) - HODINKEE

If we are to take fine watchmaking seriously (and we do) then we owe it to ourselves, especially at a time in history like this one, to reflect a little on what is and is not worth our attention and to find in things that do command our attention – not just the externals of design, craft, and monetary value, but also, if we can, a bit of our better selves. Really fine watchmaking offers genuine intellectual excitement inasmuch as it introduces us to a special kind of human ingenuity, but it also is, if you like, spiritually aspirational. We have a nice name for the creation of beautiful objects which reflect essential values: we call it culture. There is no royal road to having real horological culture in oneself – it takes time, curiosity, a willingness to challenge your own views; all things in sadly short supply nowadays. But when you have something in hand, and on the wrist, which transports you a bit out of yourself, it seems worth it. Watchmaking and watches can certainly offer other pleasures, but a watch like the Heritage Pulsograph that connects us with so many other larger worlds is a rare and special thing – even if it does say Montblanc on the dial.
