Visited the Boutique in Tokyo today.

I was invited by the branch manager, Kawazoe-san, to the special showing of the new items. Montblanc has really nice line-up this year and I am very impressed. Unfortunately, I missed the Villeret Heavyweights such as awesome Pulsograph, Grand Chronographe Regulateur, ExoTourbilon, or Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique, but I could see other interesting new faces. Enjoy!

Timewalker Titanium - light!

No need to introduce.

Cal. MBR200 Automatic

My fav Rieussec

On the left is the new GMT

About right size.

White version + bracelet. Beautiful!

Yup, the same as the pen - Meisterstuck

Video of how the three position crown works

Please ignore the voices....
Unscrewing the crown brings it to the 1st position - moving the inner city bezel. And one pull brings it to the 2nd position which changes the date and the second hour hand, and the next pull lets you adjust the time.

Villeret Grand Seconde au Centre Retour-a-Zero: beautiful black dial

Villeret monopush Chronograph

Simple three hands - memoirs of Minerva Pythagore series. A bit gigantic at 47mm...

I really wanted to see this - I would prefer black dial in WG/PT case, though...

Special thanks to the staff of Montblanc Tokyo Boutique. Although I missed the heavy hitters, I found lots of nice ones from the new line-up.

Hope you enjoyed. If my bank account allows, I would love a Pulsographe...... But the LE of 58 may be spoken for soon.... :-(

so quickly. The Timewalker Twinfly is a sample piece (notice the 'S' on the rotor). I am sure a lot of preorders have gone out for this model. It really is a nice complicated chronograph. That is also the first wrist shot of the new Rieussec so I'm puttin...

Fantastic Pics!

The new Rieussec is looking really nice, and the Villeret pics are to die for!

Cool watches!

Thanks for sharing Ken! While we all would like to see the heavy hitters from Montblanc Villeret, I think that it is nice to see something of a change now and then.

Thanks for the nice pictures ...
