A letter from Alexander Schmiedt

For PuristS who have never met Alexander before, he is (imho) one of the warmest, down to earth, passionate, and honest executives in the industry.  This spontaneous letter to help Robin celebrate his recent Villeret purchase is representative.  So I asked permission from both to share it with our community.

 

Dear Robin,
My sincere congratulations - not only for the purchase of this beautiful Villeret-
but also for the joy and passion about it that you share with others!!

It is great to read about your "relationship" about your Villeret, how you write
about it like almost a new family member, the great places you take her ( love the
india photos!)

This is exactly why I will actually share your post with the team in Villeret when
they are back from the "watchmaker holidays" next week. They will be very happy to
read that one of their "children" has arrived at the right place with a person that
cherishes it with the same passion that it has been created.

Dear Robin, enjoy your Villeret and wear it happily ever after none.

All the best,
Alexander

Mr Schmiedt got it all.Watches are more than watches. At least some of them, and the Villeret are part of them. Bravo to him, bravo to Robin, too, whose posts are a pleasure to read. Best, Nicolas.

Imagine Herr Lange or Monsieur Stern writing to every collector... This gives me a very warm and confident feeling about Montblanc products, their reputation, and how they are willing to stand up to the quality of their products!

Dear all Since I got to know MB Villeret thru an MB event in Singapore in Sep/Oct 2012 and getting a few watches from then to now, inc the gorgeous Lange Datograph, I have been haunted in my dreams about certain MB Villeret models, esp those with the highly exclusive black enamel dials. I have posted a few times here on this topic with reasons for my hesitation but I know my love for MB Villeret is still there (after almost 1 year!). I love all the watches I got but they could not replace my memory and love ... .
