Montblanc

Last night I attended a cocktail party organized for Montblanc customers where the new 2016 products were shown. It's quite similar to the event Ken attended in Tokyo so you will see similar products and pictures from my post - hopefully with a different ...  

There are a lot of things to see and admire. The Rouge et Noir pen, some bags, such as the blue one, which would nicely complement our beloved 1858 Tachymeter, and this last one, of course. The Tourbillon Geospheres Vasco de Gama is also a feast for the e... 

Kidding... You must be wearing this!! Cheers Robin ...  

To me Montblanc\'s watches became more and more interesting from 2014\'s SIHH

..Tourbillon Bridges/Carriage seems to resemble GPs....isnt there a patent issue?

So far I haven\'t heard of any patent issues Cheers Robin

I might get into pens.... oh no....! Montblanc knows how to throw a party Ken

I had a great time last night with many collector friends. It\'s funny the 2 camps start to gel - pen vs watch collectors lol. No longer team Iron Man vs Team Cap America Cheers Robin

The current Mrs MTF and I collected pens before getting into watches. This is probably because in the early 1990s, watches had not really been promoted as heavily as today. Then, ThePuristS was started and the rest is history. That single website and the ... 

Wow that\'s a name I have not heard for ages! :p Dial up modem - I used that when I was in high school and switched to broadband since college days I didn\'t know watches were not so big then ... I always thought it had a larger market then pens but I gue... 

You sure had the right watch for the event Bet you got lots of compliments on it.

The most impressive point for me is the wide range of novelties from affordable watches to superlative ones. Fx

Not biased here - I am impressed they really live up to their tagline "Sharing the passion for fine watchmaking" Cheers Robin

Thanks for this extensive photo report! Given my modest means and desires, there were two watches that really stood out for me - the one you brought with and the 4810 pocket watch. The later I find so nicely romantic, with Hamburg and Southhampton on the ... 

I like that one too. Unfortunately it is limited to 110 pieces so if I don\'t get soon it may be gone in a few months\' time. And I lack watch funds at this point! :p

It\'s not too expensive

enamel dials of the exotourbillon? Is it cloisonné or champleve technique ? Cheers Gordon

It is the reason why that each dial is unique because there are slight differences between them. Fx

It\'s miniature painting on the dial. Not grand feu enamel Gordon, else the price will be.... :p Cheers Robin

look fantastic !
