Montblanc

Thanks to Esharp for spotting this earlier on the web. I just shared on News Central. www.watchprosite.com This seems like quite a "secret" project and a nice surprise from Montblanc as I didn't see this Montblanc TimeWalker Pythagore Ultra-Light Concept ...  

As discussed in the other thread, if this was some grams heavier, more conventional in terms of material choice, came with the movement and at a more palatable price, it would make for a great 15th anniversary PuristSPro watch What do you say?

To be honest, will PuristS want a Montblanc watch as an anniversary watch? Especially at such a high end level (even if not this concept watch, a Villeret movement watch that is highly finished is not at mainstream price level like say a steel Reverso or ... 

I know it is largely wishful thinking but then again, why not at least give it a try

After the Ultra Thin battle, will we have the ultra light ( which is not an easy game, either )? I am surprised, to tell the truth. The choice of the Pythagore movement is not something I would have thought about for such a piece but I am waiting to know ... 

I would love to see and feel this in the metal. So far I am not a fan of watches too light nor too heavy but if it really feels like nothing on the wrist, like those Super light weight sports sunglasses, I think it is pretty cool. Making a very classical ... 

And, MAYBE, this watch. An in the real test will tell us more, I think.

But this (too) small movement suspended in the center like that, makes me wonder why the case is so big.

The movement is very small for the case. If I remember correctly Esharp has a Minerva with the same movement (same movement design as this new calibre is completely recrafted in lightweight material) and the watch is like 34mm ?

Is not a Timewalker It is in the Villeret collection for both Metamorphosis I and II. The case of the Metamorphosis is not the Timewalker case. The Timewalker chronograph 100 is the one with the Villeret calibre that can measure 1/100th of a second - unle... 

Some elements of design made me think about the Timewalker... Damn me! Best, Nicolas ...  

I haven\'t yet seen a Timewalker I really like with the exception of the Urban speed series because of the dash of red on black. Even that I didn\'t bite (yet). Montblanc (for me personally) has a lot of more classical collections I like but that\'s becau... 

.. but someone was giving me the "smell", but I was not paying too much attention. Damn! We should have known sooner! But this is a very intriguing piece. Nice size, nice weight. Great concept. Wonderful! Hope to see this in person soon! Ken

Likewise I hope to see one in the metal soon

Very interesting piece and a TimeWalker-esque case design. Personally for me, since I'm not a race car driver nor a tennis player, I don't really need a super-light-weight watch. But it's interesting to see concepts like this and the Richard Mille feather... 

Indeed Montblanc Villeret really surprised me with this move. I Guess it\'s like a "concept car" so not sure if it will become a regular production as I am still digesting Minerva movements not looking traditional but very high tech

:p Hopefully we can try this on someday Cheers Robin

Curious to hear your ideas For me to be honest I am still digesting a Minerva movement in a high tech finish. I am thinking a classical, time only Minerva / Montblanc Villeret watch can be very nice in regular production . Cheers Robin

However I find it a bit too colorful for my taste. I would prefer the movement to be one color, like all brushed titanium gray for instance. Then no red ring on the inside of the bezel, perhaps just keep it black or some tone of gray. Same with second han... 

Great ideas. The watch will be more techy looking and I think it will look nice based on your suggestions. A feeling like the Timewalker Twinfly Greytech which our friend here Todd has I am not in charge of the PuristS edition watch, but what I heard so f...
