In many ways, the Villeret represents the pinnacle of movement craftsmanship, the most traditional movement architecture/design, and the most traditional/painstaking/time-consuming craftsmanship methods.
Just a sample question:
What company has the best movement finishing?
You would probably imagine Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Chopard L.U.C, and A. Lange & Soehne? Well, any Montblanc Villeret eclipses all of them.
I have massive respect for the movements coming out of Villeret.
surprised to run into these beauties!
Hello Dear Fellow Purists
I was just walking around in a busy shopping area in Seoul and ran across a Mont Blanc boutique and just thought may be I will be lucky to see some new Heritage pieces..and I am met with these Minerva beauties!
Totally never expected to see a Minerva mono-pusher in real life and I got real lucky because it is the last of its series, so it really may be the last one I could possibly see around 
I feel lucky, but thats just one part..
I feel lucky, but thats just one part..I also feel greatly appreciative of the wonderful work Mont Blanc has done with Minerva..the earlier mono-pusher and the later Heritage version are absolutely stunning, every bit as awesome as I expected them to be from the pictures...and that is really unusual...it is not alwazs that watches turn out better than how the wonderful pictures of friends here show them to be 
anyway, enough of my talking..following are some shots I took..the older version has a half-hunter case back, with name of the master watch-maker engraved on the inside of the lid (how cool is that!)
One concern I had was the wording on the dial of the Heritage piece: Calibre M.13.21..but my concern was completely allayed in real life...it blends very well with the overall look and does not catch attention, rather presents good symmetry to the dial.
Two most stunning watches. totally impressed.
(honest apologies for point and shoot phone pictures..one, I am not a good photographer, two, I do not have any other equipment, three, I wouldn't have been able to take any good shot with my excitement either :P)
The Heritage Chronograph, with its clean dial, is top.
I just wish Montblanc will release it in a white metal case and with a black dial!
Best,
Nicolas
I am so happy you managed to see these 2 beauties with the beautiful calibre 13.21!
I can feel your excitement here by reading your post Asad! thanks for sharing.
That MB Villeret chronograph with the hunter back is, if I am not mistaken, amongst the very first batch of MB Villeret watches launched when Montblanc merged with Minerva. I have never seen one myself in the metal so you are very fortunate indeed! I remember seeing these in some Montblanc videos on YouTube especially the 3 part videos on Montblanc Villeret.
Yes the Heritage Pulsograph is very handsome looking with a cleaner dial and the same beautifully finished calibre 13.21. But I cannot resist the charm of their Villeret collection with the Hunter case back each time I see one. The dial may not be as clean looking but hey, they are distinctly MB Villeret. I just love that old world charm found in these MB Villeret watches...
Glad you enjoyed the boutique visit! Thanks for sharing your pics and experiences
Cheers

Both are nice!
But I prefer the Villeret 1858 one.
Thank you for the pictures.

Welcome to the world of Villeret...
In many ways, the Villeret represents the pinnacle of movement craftsmanship, the most traditional movement architecture/design, and the most traditional/painstaking/time-consuming craftsmanship methods.
Just a sample question:

That Villeret monopusher looks really nice on your wrist
I don't recall seeing a good wrist shot before.
Nice surprise in Seoul!
Were you wearing an AP? I think I see it in the background of your last photo!
Best and thanks for sharing
Mike
thanks for enjoying...
...my terrible pictures of these fantastic beauties...I was really very impressed and excited to have been able to handle these rare beauties..and I totally agree that these by far eclipse any high end movement as well as overall finishing and design pieces I have handled.
nonetheless, I must make it clear that I play in the field that is one decimal place lower than what these are going for, and I was not wearing an AP but a simple Tissot that I have enjoyed a lot for almost a decade now. My current stable is limited to three pieces: a Seamaster GMT 2534, a Tissot Quickster on bracelet and a pr50 (both later being quartz) and the last one is what got the bug going..I have my eyes on the Master co-ax SM300 and am hoping that this year will see the SMP GMT replaced by that, hopefully soon
I am sharing some more shots of the Minerva ones, and since this has become kind of an introduction which I never posted on my own because I do not really have much of a collection or special pieces to share, I am sharing some shots of what I have and what I am saving to get next
Engraved name of Master watchmaker
Hopefully next purchase...love the ti model but its a fair bit more pricey, so still swinging between SS and Ti
Tissot Quickster (quartz, 2005)
Tissot pr50 (quartz, 1998)
SMP GMT 2534 (model i from 1999, in my ownership since 2011, love it!)
Saving up for this to replace the SMP GMT (do not like to collect too many of similar kind, although I need a GMT for my frequent travels)
Asad, don't worry, here the Man counts more than owning a watch.
No need to own, but loving watches is all that counts. The man over the collection. 
Best,
Nicolas
PS: OT. Yes, the Seamaster 300 would be a great addition!
+ 1!
Completely agree with Nicolas! We don't have to own all the watches we appreciate (no one on earth could afford that!).
It's the passion and sharing of passion that counts!
Your sharing of those superb photos you took of these 2 beautiful Montblanc watches is exactly what we like in our community here
Thank you for your pics and posts
When you get one of those watches you like, pls share your joy with us
Cheers
Robin
Hi Asad, sorry for the late reply
Trapped at work for the last 24 hours and finally got home...only to find there was a lot of work to do at home too!
Here at PuristSPro, like Nicolas and Robin have already stated, we treasure our passion more than the watches on our wrists!
So thank you again for all the wonderful photos and commentary...I am honored that you have chosen to post your "introduction" here.
We share a lot in common so far. My first mechanical watch was an Omega Seamaster (got married with it on my wrist), I'm wearing a trusty quartz right now (My Bulova Precisionist, which was purchased 2 months ago and is still +0 compared to NIST), and I'm years away from being able to purchase a Villeret
Warmest, Mike
