Montblanc

I am pleased to share a wonderful piece of news. My Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter chronograph has arrived today! I love the blue dial!! And those cathedral hands! The vintage Montblanc mountain logo The lovely Montblanc Villeret Calibre 16.29. Icing on the ca...  

That was why the gym yesterday lol!

What can I say, Robin - another brilliant piece Hope it will accompany you during many memorable oments and time some significant ones, too And that we get to see it very often here, too! Now a Europe trip with a joint wristshot with Nicolas is absolutely... 

With Nico and Michael (when he gets his!) Thanks for your kind words my friend Cheers Robin

The watch is stunning and Iam looking forward to your on the wrist review . My favourite watch Of 2015 launches ... Well done and enjoy it in best of health Best,

Congratulations, you have a wonderful piece joining your already splendid collection of very fine chronographs Cheers my friend from a little envious, Francois

Hope to see you again in Singapore someday Cheers Robin

but a stunning watch. Congrats Robin. Best, Kari

Indeed it is big at 44mm but I am used to larger watches now Cheers Robin

when getting older and growing bigger (read: fatter). Best, Kari

perhaps I can try your MB in one of my visits to Singapore. Best, Kari

I can serve you a beer in the pool bar of Mandarin and perhaps show something you have not seen before. Plus I can see you stunning MB chronos. Best, Kari

Looking forward

then it's warm enough in Singapore. And I'll make everybody happy in AP Service Centre by dropping my RO QP back there. Best, Kari

You will see that this watch is a killer. Once on the wrist, it is very hard to remove it for another one... Bravo, once again. Best, Nicolas

The feeling! I will struggle to rotate watches the next few weeks! Cheers Robin

Just take care with the buckle MB fixation. Congratulations and enjoy this baby. Cheers, Patrickh

And I know my Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum problem now. I asked for a short strap and was given a short strap that is from another Montblanc watch collection (the Star collection) and hence the deployant buckle pin was a tad small for the hole on the le... 

Hope you can see this in the metal too Cheers Robin

A great collector's piece! Best Moritz

His is a very special one indeed, directly delivered by Jerome Lambert in Hamburg! Cheers Robin

Enjoy your new amazing montblanc, fantastic watch !

Hope you can try this one too someday Cheers Robin

Well done and congrats on receiving an amazing watch! cheers fernando

I am very contented ! Thanks Fernando Cheers Robin

100 marks is a nice feeling

That\'s an awesome blue and the movement is really very nice!

Will share with you next time we meet

Very nice looking watch. Seeing yours and Nico's pictures has me drooling....but my "enforced laws" of my collection makes it difficult to add without removing.... :-|

A good practice I should do the same!

Montblanc wasn't a brand that I followed but you and Nicolas newest edition has made me realize what a mistake I have made! Fantasic addition! You have a great set of Chronographs. Sincerely and Respectfully Joseph

You are also becoming a Vlad here lately if you have not noticed.... Lange and moser recently eh? :p

Join us... We are recruiting Vlads :p

I guess I'll join.

You are already a Vlad! :p

First the "double bite" to provide ample amount of venom. Next a little coercion. I can already feel the eyes turning red and the fangs growing... Sincerely and Respectfully Joseph

That\'s funny

I too struggled to overcome the brand logo on my first Montblanc watch purchase back in 2013 which was my Villeret chronograph grand feu enamel. But after that first step, I have since become a big fan of Montblanc watches especially those in their collec... 

The 3 part review of your beautiful Villeret grand feu enamel. This collection I must say is very underrated. Overall I am still learning everyday, so all I can do is humbly sit by and absorb all this passion and knowledge that is freely given everyday on... 

Thank you for appreciating my write ups on my MB Villeret I hope to share the goodness of Montblanc especially their watches with their movements from Villeret and their recent good value watches from Le Locle I truly believe the brand is on the right tra... 

Big time congratulations! I am now beside myself with anticipation for mine to arrive. Your photos are simply spectacular. Thank you! M4

Let us know and we can do a roll call! I think we have Nico, Michael, you, me and Alex with this watch already in steel or rose gold Cheers Robin

One more here ! Roll call will be fun

...they are twins I have always been put-off by that big crown which stabs me in back of my hand and looks like a roof vent. But that is req to complete that vintage look. MontBlanc has a very appealing crown otherwise - black/ivory color emblem. ...  

Didn\'t see it until your pic of the roof vent lol! Cheers Robin

Darn it, Robin. That blue is shazamaliciously bodaciotastic. (I\'m at a loss so I\'m making up words.) Movement ain\'t bad either.... Congrats! Best E.

This movement is sooooo pretty I can\'t resist it!

Full marks and congrats on this new acquisition! J

Hope all is well in Japan and hope to see you soon

And to the daily grind=(

Have a good weekend

A great chronograph. And now PuristS have "Before 1" and "100". C'est magnifique!

I think Nico and I covered the alpha and omega

Wow, the dial is superb, and it seems to vary a good bit in different lighting, which adds to the interest. I really am happy yours has arrived, and such a special number. Thanks for the fine photos! PS - I would love a shot taken straight at the side of ... 

I can\'t wait for you as well Ok will take a side profile shot for you very soon. Stay tuned Cheers Robin

This is the year of blue watches....did I mention you are also buying watches like groceries ) Congratulations and Happy for you, our well deserved MB mod! Rgds Raymond

I won\'t be buying anything for a loooooong time now! Cheers Robin

Let\'s just wait and see

Yes you love the red accents details. They go very well with black or blue dials especially Cheers Robin

Wear it in good health... and I remember having to convince you for your first Villeret, now you spend willingly :-p Warmest, Mike the enabler

I "gave you a series of PuristS tests" and your answers helped to convert me to a Montblanc Villeret fan! Thanks for all your help Cheers Robin

Congratulations... an amazing piece! Cheers Andrew

I think in a few weeks we can do a roll call here!

Well done Robin! The watch fits your wrist well unlike mine when I tried one at a Mont Blanc event in London this week. Perhaps, you are wearing it slightly higher up your wrist or your wrist is bigger than mine (have you been working out lately?! but it ... 

My wrists are around 6.2 to 6.3 inches only - not big at all To be honest the watch does look big when viewed top down on my wrist, especially when taking a picture. But when I view it in a mirror from a 3rd person perspective it looks great! Also the pil... 

Yes I will enjoy it a lot for sure!

Wear it in great health. Can\'t beat the 100/100 number as well. Congrats!!!

Yes to get 100/100 is like a perfect score in an exam

Does it mean you got the absolute last piece of the 100th limited edition? That\'s impressive.

Becos I like that "perfect score" number 100% It doesn\'t mean this is the last piece available I believe. There should be some pieces of this in the boutiques and you can find out from them if there are any left for sale. Hope this clarifies Cheers Robin... 

Robin, Congratulations to this addition as it arrives in an already important collection, but I\'m sure that it has not any reason to hide. Enjoy it in many ways. Kind regards Kolosstt

That blue dial is to die for Cheers Robin

Congratulations Robin for sharing this monster... Super nice... Regards, Ronald

I hope to share these Montblancs with you next time you visit Singapore

We are spoiled with nice pieces on this forum. I know how much you enjoy this brand and especially this Villeret collection. I'm happy for you and wish you to wear it in the best of health Robin Cheers, Mark

Agree we are spoiled with eye candies here with so many great brands and pieces here Cheers Robin

.. Wear it in the Best of your health ! Cheers & Best, hs

Yes it is a lucky number! Cheers robin
