mkt33 announces the winners of the Montblanc Villeret TimeWriter II contest, celebrating the community's deep engagement with mechanical engineering. The post highlights the challenging nature of the competition, which tested participants' understanding of the TimeWriter II Bi-Fréquence 1000's intricate mechanics. It underscores the collective intellect of the PuristS community in deciphering complex horological innovations.
As all of us know, this contest was difficult and challenged our community's understanding of mechanical engineering.
But in true PuristS form our members researched and disected the heart of the TimeWriter II Bi-Fréquence 1000 to understand Mr. Gomila's brillant idea.
Out of the all the entries there was one grand prize winner who answered every question correctly.
Please help me congratulate Tick Talk!
Tick Talk will be enjoying an all expense paid trip to Montblanc's workshop in Villeret!
Two other PuristS came darn close. Both Grumio and Izatis answered all but one question correctly. Grumio entered the contest first...so help me congratulate him as the second place winner.
Grumio will be receiving a writing instrument from Montblanc's 100 years collection.
And of course please also congratulate Izatis who will be receiving a custom Montblanc Ipad cover from their leather collection.
As an interesting aside, here is the final distribution of the answers from all the entries combined. As proof of the PuristS concept of 1-7-8, our collective intellect answered all the questions correctly except for the first...and we weren't too far off on that one either!
Again please join me in congratulating the winners and help me give thanks to Montblanc for their immense generosity and support of PuristSPro.
Best, Mike
I agree that our winner and close winners deserve huge congratulations. Well done, guys. Best, Nicolas
And congratulations to Tick Talk and Izatis. Some tricky questions in there - certainly had to think. Looking forward already to Tick-Talk's report. grumio
Congrats to the winners. It was a difficult test especially considering that you could research the answers. But it helps to understand the engineering when you have to break it down. Looking forward to the trip report.
congratulations for Tic Talk and thank you Montblanc for the contest. Cheers.
Montblanc is a very exciting brand and I'm already preparing some questions for Bartomeu Gomila on his amazing design. Huge thanks to Purists and MB for this challenging and rewarding contest! Photo report to follow :-)
Also, I think the difficulty of the questions really upholds the standards and passion of the Purists. A job well done to the winners!
