Comments:
Not long ago, spent a day to visit Montblanc's two manufactories.
I was pleased with the Le Locle plant as the preparations and processes are systematic and organised.
After witnessing the assembly of the Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec series which are performed in a dedicated room and by specially trained team, it changes my perspective about Montblanc Watchmaking and the Nicolas Rieussec too.
Please join me for the e-tour ....
Began the morning session to the Le Locle facility and started off from Geneva at 7am.
Some pics along the long but comfortable cruise ...
About 8:30am we passed by the Lake Neuchatel...
Current location at 8:50am
At last a signage displaying our destination !
Entering Le Locle at 9:10am ...
Driving in to the birthplace of traditional Swiss watchmaking, Le Locle, which is about 1,000 metres above sea level.
The horological neighbourhood ...
Turning to the right ....
We arrived at Montblanc after slightly two hours.
The entrance was at the left end, but could not miss the opportunity to snap several pics of the century old, 1906 Art Nouveau villa.
Wow! A light breeze swept by, it was really cold!
Felt my fingers stiffened and depressing the shuttle seemed a bit difficult for the first time
A fusion of the past and the present, with the manufacturing facility at the basement.
Back to the gates ...
And dashed to the entrance of the Villa ...
Fuel to start the day and warm the hands !
Two original pictures of the Villa from different perspectives ....
Interesting brass arcs (with numerals engraved) on the flooring of the floor of the villa signifying the flow of time ....
A few vintage pieces with the wording 'Montblanc' on dials ....
As we walked to another room, the brass arc seemed to be following us
The Montblanc emblem on the new lintel...
Our host for the day, Mr Olivier Schwarz..
The signage outside of the cosy 'Welcome Room' ....
Old tiles and parquet flooring of the yester-year still present ...
Moving up a floor. Historical pictures of the brand and factories were mounted on the wall ....
The evolution of the Montblanc logo....
Pictures of some previous leaders at important landmark events using the iconic Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 fountain
pens to seal agreements...the pen is also known as the Diplomat.
Now you know why the Montblanc Meisterstuck fountain pen-nibs are engraved with '4810'.
Some newer pictures ...
Reached the second floor ...
The SoulMakers, absolute luxury and style!
Let's tour the suite...
Exiting from the suite, a showcase of some of Montblanc pieces...
A slideable magnifier was installed for closer viewing ...
Proceeding to -1 ...
Lovely decor ...preserving the tradition.
Observe the transition of time...the 'new road' is the added basement.
From the building picture (above), basement was newly created.
From 'manual knob door ' to the 'automatic sliding panel' ...
If I heard correctly, this is One of the art-piece of project Montblanc Cultural Foundation. There are many creative pieces
installed in the villa but I missed out snapping them.
The Montblanc Cultural Foundation, established in 1998, works closely with the Hamburg Gallery of Contemporary Art.
Each year, one piece of work will be chosen by Montblanc. Would be nice to see the pictures of the art-pieces from 1998
onwards.
First stop, the Design Group, the team which works on the 'form and function'.
Here we have the movement designer, showing us the Calibre MB R110 for the Rieussec.
The form - sketches of many aesthetic designs...
Once a design is approved, it will be digitised using CAD ...
Next another material-engineer will go through the design, to verify if the construction of the case is robust and manufacturable,
taking into the consideration of material and various coatings used.
Here we were in for a treat. The above cases looked similar but they were of different coatings.
The piece on the right was DLC-coated while the other was PVD coated.
The difference between them is the hardness.
A piece of metal ( did not ask what metal) was passed to me and was asked to scratch the cases.
Lovely! Dreamt of such trial-destruction for a long time, and the opportunity was here!!
The PVD lug (obviously the left piece) was scratched, using the same metal piece on the DLC case, no apparent scratch on it!!
Does it tell us that DLC is tougher than PVD? Or just Montblanc's DLC?
More details of the Montblanc DLC Process posted by Mike : please click here to read.
Later she also showed an experimental approach to surface aesthetic.
Perhaps a tattoo watch?
Also showed that Montblanc tried various materials on their watches. A sample of the bracelet with a combination of
steel and ceramic links.
Next shown was a PVD bezel...
Curious at how the bezel clicked as it was turned ... snapshots of the reverse side of the bezel with the cut-out-keys.
Next to the Quality Control Division ....
The Quality Control Division may have more test equipments than the assembly division ranging from various measuring
equipment to water-tightness testers.
A dial manufactured by external vendor was checked by sampling from a batch before being accepted to be used
by Montblanc using a vision system.
Dial on test-fixture ...
Besides the cosmetic was checked, key dimensions were measured to ensure precise fitting with the case and movement.
Components which passed the Incoming Quality verification are stored in plastic cases (as they are very small) and
placed into the KARDEX automatic retriever.
Some movements awaiting to be tested ...
I am impressed with the how well organised the Incoming Quality Division. Besides the well-documented Standard
Operating Procedures (SOP), they also have controlled sets of samples which SOP could not effectively covered, especially
the cosmetic of the dials.
Montblanc and the dial-makers work together to agree upon the criterias for acceptance. Some parts of cosmetic is
qualitative and subjective and not as straight-forward as dimensions.
Every dials, two sets of controlled-samples are made. One set with Montblanc and another with the vendor dial-maker.
Here are some of the controlled samples, properly organized ...
Observed a seal (with controlled number) was attached to this Rieussec dial ...
Another one for the Montblanc Sport Chronograph Automatic ..
Next, a complete set of sub-assemblies by family are also kept !
A closer view ...
A few pics of a working sampe of the Rieussec ...
After the Quality Division, we proceeded to the next unit, and came across this showcase ...
A showcase to illustrate the different leathers & materials used for the watches ...
A galuchat strap...
The full piece of the stingray ...
Mother of pearl ...the cavities were cut-out used for dials...
Before entering the next unit ....
we were required to put on an overall ...
and shoe-covers ...
Ready to enter the assembly room ...
Greeted by two rare pieces of 'time-writer' by Nicolas Rieussec ...
Then we entered into a special room, dedicated to assemble the Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec Chronographs !
A small showcase was installed to show the various components and sub-assemblies of the Nicolas Rieussec calibres ...
The balance assembly ...
The actual ..
Components from the dial-side ...
and for comparison.
This dedicated room housed less than a dozen of watchmakers...
Looking closer, there is a miniature assembly-line beneath the table ...
Specific components are placed according to the process flow.
After placing the components, with a press of a button, the completed piece will lower and slide forward and the
next piece to be worked will load up.
All completed calibres will be checked by the senior watchmakers.
If the condition of the calibre is not to the standard of the senior watchmakers, he will troubleshoot and disassemble fully
to tackle the issue.
In this room, there are a few machines which handles the precise processes which ensure the smooth running
of the calibres assembled.
This machine is auto-oiling machine which can apply accurate amount of oils onto the jewels or endstones.
The amount of oil to deposit is programmable.
The automated oiler in action (but without the calibres), just a test-run to show us the operation of the machine.
The engretest, used to check individual pairs of gears, which affect torque transmission.
The fixture to hold the movement under test.
Another auto-oil dropper specifically for the oil cup of the jewel bearing.
After dropping the oil, the quality of drop (darker purple circle) could be viewed on the vision system. Above was a reject
as the oil drop was not in the centre.
This is a good, as the drop is concentric.
The tip of the oil dispenser above.
The above is a WTM ( Watch Test Mechanics), used to check variation of amplitude and the instantaneous
rate of the balance and spiral.
Another equipment which inspects tolerance of the interference between the pallet forks and teeth of the wheel which
affects the draw.
If the tolerance is out, adjustment will be done with another special tool.
After this, we left the "Nicolas Rieussec Room" to the neighbouring main assembly hall which all Montblanc watches
are assembled ...
Putting the dials onto one of the Star Nicolas Rieussec models...
The arrangement is in island-form. Each island consists of four people and the team handles only the specific model
till completion.
Casing for paved diamond bezel Star Nicolas Rieussec model.
The completed pieces ...
Visual check (under loupe) to ensure no aesthetic defect/s.
A closer view.
Preparing to encase the calibres....
This station is for hands-placement ...
Checking alignment of the hands ...
Pending for hand-placement ...
The hands ...
The fixture to seat the calibre ...
Crowns waiting to be installed ...
Securing the movement to the casing ...
Fastening the caseback. Note a piece of protective film is placed in between the caseback
and the presser to prevent any scratches.
Encasing completed.
The Supervisor in charged, Mr Daniel also informed, all pieces assembled in his division are thoroughly checked and
tested for the rate and water-resistance.
Pieces pending for tests ....
Our tour for the Le Locle plant was completed ...
And it just pasted noon time.
We left the grand Villa. Still as charming till today ...
On the way to the Villeret plant next.
Thanks to the Montblanc Le Locle team for patiently guiding us through the plant and explaining the process.

hi Kong,
tell you a funny thing, you know when i was reading this post, i did not notice who is the reporter. i just read!
after reading through till end of the post and saw your name under signed at the end there. then realized, felt no wonder the style and details of the reporting looked so familiar and with such high standard work.
by the way, as you said at the beginning of the report, yes, it did change my perspective on MB too.
well done again, man!

Such an amazing , detailed inc such a very light way to understand and to digest, beside my deep appreciation for the people in mont blanc I would love to thank you a lot KONG and tell you I truly appreciate your detailed work, to come out with this astonishing report.
Thanks.
Very informative. Thanks for the insights.
I really enjoy watching how every manufacture works.

Wow Kong! There was A LOT to digest in your post
The whole process seemed so "robotic", a little too "sterile" for me on one hand, but on the other I feel like these Montblanc watches get assembled with very tight standards because of all the computerized analysis involved.
I wonder if this will minimize the percentage of pieces returning for aftermarket service in the long run.
Love the Dual carbon coating test.
I still owe everyone here a summary of my own personal testing of the DLC case. This also will be eye opening.
Thanks again,
Mike
Evolution not Stagnation
Mike,
Much as we romantasise about mountain elves hand-cutting every gear tooth of our micro machines, the reality is that watchmakers have always used the latest tools and technology available at the time.
Georges Auguste Leschot's work on the pantograph at Vacheron Constantine made interchangeable parts possible. Otherwis, the Swiss elves would still be hand-filing tolerance variability to fit each piece to its mates.
The 'parachute' by A.L.Breguet and later Incabloc really made timepieces 'portable', without fear of jolts and shock.
The automated micro-pipette for lubricant precision reduces human error to nil. We saw similar machines at Audemars Piguet in 2008 that could place different oils and greases in different quantities to all th correct points on a basic movement.
I feel much more confident in machines than humans for some jobs.
I'm not saying which........
Regards,
MTF
Yes, I drank the Swiss
marketing potion and it is having its desired effect
Guess the money that I'm paying is for access to the Swiss "know-how" which the MB tour gives great insight too.
I'm all for utilizing the latest machines to verify assemble and correct for tolerances. The pics that disturbed me was the miniature assembly line which reduced the watchmaker to just a simple worker but I suspect if I look at any vintage photos of the American Pocketwatch industry in the early 1900s I would see the same!
Best, Mike
I like the 'sterile' part you mentioned ...
Hi Mike
The self-contained 'Rieussec' room is good, in my opinion, for mass manufacturing pieces. The process is controlled and the learning experiences of the same group of watch-makers are focused and 'cumulated' within a cluster, thus forming a knowledge-base on its own. Accountability is also tagged too.
As you mentioned, the miniature assembly line 'disturbed you', I'm happy to see it. The yield should increase thus reducing potential field-reject when the models are being assembled by the same team who does the process repeatedly.
You reminded me, probably, there should be another term before 'watch-maker'. From my observations, this current era, the profession may be considered as watch-assembly technicians, as from old books, a watchmaker could design, fabricate from raw material and complete assembly.
Its just like the cockpit should be renamed with female-pilots onboard.
Awaiting to see what you will do after the DLC environmental test.

Wow! Excellent Photo Tour of the Montblanc Le Locle Facility!
That was a great experience. Thank you for putting all the captions on the photographs so I could actually understand what was going on.
Very impressive; from the very beginning, the Montblanc facility, the historical Mont-Blanc watches, the bedroom in the home, and the entire watch manufactory tour.
Many thanks for the fabulous tour!

DLC vs PVD scratch test! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Thanks Kong for the detail report.
Yes, Montblanc Le Locle factory is indeed systematic compact, and well organised. I love the "5-star" room and it would be nice to stay just one night there.
The DLC vs PVD scratch tests are indeed very educational and if the opportunity allows, no one should miss it.
Mr. Olivier looks very familiar and I believe I have seen him somewhere in the movie. Star Trek?
Regards
Ling
Hmmm ...
The Villa Room is really nice. Probably, collectors of Montblanc may be invited to visit and stay before.
Next round, if being offered to scratch the DLC, will do it more elaborately. Thinking what abrasive to carry with me
Reminded me of Mr Spock too

Super post, Kong! Top marks.
Thanks for sharing the great pics and vids. I really enjoyed the inside look.
Fantastic read!
Kong,
Thanks so much for the wonderful photos and report chronicling your visit to MB. I'm really excited to see how their watch portolio expands. I greatly admire their Villaret collection, and wonder if they will ever be able to capture my imagination in a similar fashion, but at a slightly more moderate price point.
I enjoyed reading your post so very much! Thanks!

Finally had time to read your post Kong
Awesome report and thanks for giving us a virtual tour of the Le Locle factory.
The below DLC video you shot is amazing!
Cheers,
