It is worth starting this article by reminding you that this Montblanc Meisterstuck Heritage Pulsograph watch is currently the most affordable model in the Montblanc Villeret collection that is produced at the former Minerva watch manufacture in Villeret. These watches represent Montblancs most prestigious horological products, and for the first time a Mine [...]

One of Montblancs new timepieces for SIHH 2014 was this Timewalker Chronograph 100. In addition to quite literally being a rare breed of watch, the Timewalker Chronograph 100 is also part of a genre that is almost non-existent this year. That genre would be the concept watch, which I define as a limited production timepiece with an [...]

For 2014, German/Swiss watchmaker (honestly they ride both lines) Montblanc is equipped with a new CEO who happens to be Jerome Lambert. He arrives after spending a good long time up in the Swiss mountains with one of our favorite brands Jaeger-LeCoultre. After captaining Jaeger-LeCoultre into the [...]

Jerome Lambert is now the CEO of Montblanc. Do you recognize the name? If not you should. He was the former CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. In his ten year run as CEO, he took the wonderful brand (that I am a customer of) from a brand that was only known by those who know, to a front and center superstar. He took the best of the company (the incredible craftsma [...]

You may be asking yourself, what is an ExoTourbillon and what can it do for me? Aside from making you feel younger and more virile, an ExoTourbillon is a unique and rare species of tourbillon found in the small Swiss mountain town of Villeret. There youll find Montblancs Villeret factory formerly know [...]

We wore a new Montblanc Timewalker model for a little while during SIHH, so we thought you should know a little bit about it. There seems to have been a resurgence in world-timer watches these days among many brands. In many ways this is understandable given the increasingly global nature of our world. No longer [...]

Several years ago in 2008 Montblanc released an interesting new watch called the Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph. Nicolas Rieussec is accredited with being the guy who invented the chronograph, and the unique design of the timepieces chronograph display is meant to honor that original device. I did a ?review of a Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Automatic [...]

SIHH 2013 will see the release of a brand new version of the now well-known Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec watch. I find it rather interesting to see how Montblanc continues to explore and expand this collection that started the in-house made Montblanc movement watch collection. Made in Le Locle, timepie [...]

One of the new 2012 Timewalker models from Montblanc was this Timewalker ChronoVoyager UTC watch. It faithfully follows in the (rather large at this point) Timewalker collection tradition offering a new flavor to the table. There is actually nothing in this model that hasnt been offered in one form or another previously in the Timewalker collection, but t [...]

Precision chronographs seem to be on the mind of many watch makers this year. Tag Heuer certainly has their share of innovations and everyone seems to want to push forth into a territory people once thought of as well if you need that kinda precision then get a digital watch. But I digress! Montblanc this year came out with a concept watch that competes with the Tag Heuer Mikr [...]

Having mentioned this before, I will reiterate that the Montblanc Timewalker has been a watch that Ive appreciated for a long time. For years the design and concept behind the Timewalker has kept me thinking damn, that is a really nice watch I seriously want one That specific emotional connection isnt easy to reach, and only a hand [...]

I think I am in love, again. There isnt much new in this new watch from Montblancs Villeret location manufacture but it is a beautiful thing. This is going to be a top-of-the-line dream watch for many. Totally hand-made movement, world-class finishing and the romantic Minerva spirit that Montblanc was lucky enough to acquire. Checking it out for myself I can confirm i [...]

Powerfully interesting, this new flagship watch for Montblancs Villeret arm builds on the Tourbillon Mysterious of a few years ago. The mystery gives way to an open dial, and the tourbillon has double cylindrical balance springs in the tourbillon. Hence the name Montblanc Villeret Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique. The large tourbillon makes viewing the double he [...]

This watch review is going to be a bit different than how I usually do them. Why? Because shortly before the review I was actually able to visit the manufacture making the movements of this watch. That experience offered me some special insight that allowed me to understand this timepiece more.I know there is a lot of talk on the manufacture movement. In fact, a [...]

Most people havent followed Montblancs ascension to a high-end watch maker like I have. The path they made from even making timepieces in the first place to where they are now is interesting, and only took about 10 years. Villeret 1858 collection watches are among their highest-end [...]

There was a lot of excitement at Montblanc in Geneva for this watch. They only had one of them?at SIHH and it was in a case. Still a prototype but I got to check it out a bit. In a nutshell, you press down on a lever on the left side of the case and the watch dial magically transforms into something else. Not only doe [...]

In Villeret Montblanc is feeling very proud of itself. It has gone from making pens, to being a preeminent watch maker. The recent acquisition of popular family owned ( [...]
