It must have been a pleasure wearing this smaller sized 41-42mm MB Villeret on your wrist, and I'm green with envy The larger 47mm version we reviewed earlier was on borderline too large for my small wrist, so this smaller version must have been a bundle ...

Wonderful post and excellent observations. The more I read the more I appreciated the design and layout as well as the technical details that went into the watch. I'm still not sure about the dial but I believe that seeing one in person will dispel any do...

Thank you for a great review of a great watch, Michael! I read in SJX's comment in the thread that follows your article "Remember that a Voutilainen Observatoire costs as much as a Villeret chronograph and the Voutilainen chronograph costs nearly double"....
