One of the hilights of this year, I think. Florian was very pride of the tourbillon bridge
Finishings, when I discussed with him...
This Watch deserves an in depth review, in my opinion.

Montblanc SIHH 2015: Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Geospheres Vasco Da Gama.
The press file was posted here: montblanc.watchprosite.com I thought it would be interesting to share some live pics and thoughts of this new beast. Here you have a Tourbillon Cylindrical Hairsrping, with two Geospheres, one for each Hemisphere, N...
A good opinion.
Thanks a lot for sharing these live pictures Nicolas. I really like two things especially: the very nice symetry together with those 2 hemispheres and the travel spirit and style with the waves, the rose des vents etc ... Yes it is big but it is a very co...
I like those high horology pages written by Montblanc Villeret, indeed.
That was a too short experience, sadly. I think I will have to find the time and the opportunity to spend more time studying it. The SIHH is not the best place for that. Best, Nicolas
Utterly stunning.
This is my opinion. Montblanc is making some mighty big waves these past few years. Thanks for the live photos of this one!
I thought the original Bicylindrique was my favorite Villeret model
But I've officially changed my mind. Thanks for the wristshot, they are always THE BEST! Mike ...
Woah fantastic shot Fx!
You brought this watch to life! Almost like seeing it in the metal already :) Thank you my friend Cheers Robin
I really like this one...Streampunk
It has a retro-futuristic feel to it. So cool.... So many little details like the wave pattern "guilloche" on the tourbillon plate to stay with the nautical theme. Thank Nicholas Mike
There are many details which are wroth being mentionned.
I wish next time I see this one, I could spend more time looking at it.... Rather than in the SIHH rush... But I liked what I saw. Best, Mike. Nicolas
I think MB is very aggressive this year, many good models.
This one is very unique and others are very nice, best of all, competitively priced. I don't have much experience with MB except for my 2001 power reserve piece, where the winding spring broke 2x within 13 years, I didn't wear often. Service and repair ea...
The product is one thing, the service is another thing which I strongly link together.
It would be interesting to know how much will cost the maintenance of this Watch... Best, Raymond. Nicolas
This is a very worthy flagship piece for Montblanc in SIHH 2015
Seeing such novelties from Montblanc makes me proud to be a Montblanc Villeret owner. I must admit I was once very afraid... Afraid that Montblanc will only focus on the lower priced Heritage series (which are great pieces don't get me wrong) and neglect ...
When Florian showed me this piece, I was floored.
It is breathtaking, and the cylindrical hairspring...whether it helps with iscochronism or not (there are contradicting study results, but in any case never detrimental) it is just so darned cool and beautiful it makes my geeky watch Purist knees go weak!...
My thoughts too
Although Minerva was known for their ability to manufacture hairsprings in-house, apparently this was the first time the Villeret atelier has manufactured a cylindrical hairspring. When I asked the watchmaker in attendance what advantages their timing tes...
