Montblanc Black and White Week in Singapore

Where the SIHH Montblanc 2015 novelties were showcased to customers here. Of most interest generally to customers here were the Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum, the new Heritage Chronometrie series, the E-Strap and the Tourbillon Cylindrique Geospheres.

Thanks to Montblanc Singapore (especially to my friendly sales representative from the MB boutique here who always takes good care of me), I was invited to a series of events in Montblanc's black and white week this week. Unfortunately I have been unwell lately and could only attend one of the events and I couldn't stay long for dinner too.

But no matter how bad my cold and cough is... I felt I must attend to take some photos and share! I didn't have the chance to handle all the novelties in the previous event at Sincere so was happy this time I could see more novelties up close! none

Some pictures to share here, this time not in a glass display!


none
The LE 60 Heritage Chronometrie Exotourbillon Minute Chronograph Vasco da Gamma


none
A nice heft on my wrist in white gold. Too large for me at 44mm but still looks nice I feel! The blue dial is very beautiful in the metal - like gazing at the blue skies with the stars at night. Price for LE 60 pieces and a Tourbillon with Chronograph is also good value to me. Movement finishing as good as the gold Nicolas Rieussecs.


none
The regular Heritage Chronometrie Exotourbillon Minute chronograph in pink gold


none
The Heritage Chronometrie Quantieme annual calendar Vasco da Gamma LE 238. This was on Mr Lambert's wrist when he visited Singapore. Pure elegance and the design of the larger moonphase blue disc being nearer to the bezel helps make the sub dials look less cluttered in the center. The moonphase is pretty nice - again feels like staring at the dark blue skies and the stars. The moonphase subdial shows the stars line up of the night sky above the Cape of Good Hope as Vasco da Gamma observed and recorded in 1947!

The mighty Tourbillon Cylindrique Geospheres Vasco da Gamma. Enough said A video of the Cylinderique Tourbillon dancing leisurely here:

My favorite of all the novelties - the HSOT or Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum


none
Ok here I will confess - I couldn't resist and ordered this watch last night from my Montblanc boutique sales rep! It should arrive by Sep 2015! Incoming post in a few months none

I know many of you like this watch too - it may become our very first Montblanc community watch on PuristSPro! none


none
A celebration for my new watch shot with my very good friend and sales rep from Montblanc Singapore, Eugene. Unfortunately I don't have the Orbis Terrarum on my wrist... Yet! Have to wait patiently none

Cheers
Robin

Montblanc Tourbillon Cylindrique Geosphères – Part Three

Sorry for the delay in Part 3 of the Montblanc Tourbillon Cylindrique Geosphères – I was on vacation in Taiwan and hence the delay. Having seen this watch in the metal last Fri when Mr Jerome Lambert was in Singapore, with him personally inviting me and fellow PuristS to handle the watch and admire the artisanal beauty of the dial and movement, I am even more inspired to share Part 3 here with you today. The Dial The dial, like all Montblanc watches from their Villeret manufacture, is crafted from solid gold. ...
