Celebrate Lunar New Year with jrwong23 and his Montblanc Villeret. Discover why this watch is a cherished choice for festive occasions.

jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) extends warm wishes for the Lunar New Year, celebrating the Year of the Goat with the PuristSPro community. He shares his personal choice for a festive watch, the Montblanc Villeret, emphasizing its profound connection and significance to him.

Tonight is the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year. Families will gather for their reunion dinners, to catch up on the year and to exchange blessings.

Tomorrow is the first day of a brand new Lunar New Year, the year of the goat!

On behalf of Mike and my other PuristSPro moderators, I would like to wish all fellow PuristS, especially our Chinese friends, a blessed new year! Wishing all good health, prosperity and happiness for the year of the goat! May all of us get more funds to get more watches in the new lunar new year!! Lol!

I hope to see more Montblanc watches being shared here too

Singaporeans will say "Huat ah!!" (Prosper!!!)

Cheers

Robin

Some pics of my Montblanc Villeret i just took. After all these time, this is still the watch that moves me the most! This will be my CNY Watch!!

Key Points from the Discussion

The Montblanc Villeret is highly regarded for its tactile experience, particularly the winding and pusher feel, which some compare favorably to high-end chronographs like the Patek Philippe 5170.
The tradition of exchanging mandarin oranges during Lunar New Year symbolizes blessings for good luck and smooth success, with the word 'Ji' meaning both orange and luck.
Choosing a newest watch for New Year celebrations is a common practice, often leading to 'double happiness' when it also involves a community connection.
The Montblanc Villeret is considered a 'Purist watch,' signifying its special status and appreciation within the collector community.

Best wishes to you, your family and all Pursts

celebrating the Chinese New Year. I wish we would be there but still need to wait for two months before the Maritime Week starts there. I am not surprised about your selection for tonight. I still remember the feeling when giving power to your watch and operating the pushers. Patek 5170 is like a Skoda car compared with your Ferrari. Best, Kari
