I agree that our winner and close winners deserve huge congratulations. Well done, guys. Best, Nicolas

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 :-)

I'd love to hear your report on your return. Hope to see it posted elsewhere as well!

And I hope you have a great time with lots of insights. Andrew

Also, I think the difficulty of the questions really upholds the standards and passion of the Purists. A job well done to the winners!

Dear Purists, Thanks for your great participation in this contest. But in fact, I have to thank the Purist community for this. Because the first inspiration to do this contest came from your very own ranks. I am regularly visiting Purist- and of course th...
