I really like that Vintage Tachydate.

One thing that I noticed on your photo which was not evident on the PR pictures was the multilayered dial.

This is different from previous Villeret Vintage series which used Grand Feu enamel dials...this years release looks like it is made of a solid gold plate with a lacquered coating

Thanks again,

Mike

The 2012 SIHH PuristSPro Live Report - Jon Z. (Z3) Montblanc In recent years Montblanc's watchmaking effort has taken the world by a storm with a dizzying array of super cool complications and fantastic construction. This storm is going strong again in 20...  

Villeret line has been always on my mind...

They seem to be gaining momentum these past few years, and I like the boldness. The Greytech sure looks nice.

Interesting

How is MONTBLANC is heading horologically .... they keep improving... the Timewalker greytech caught my attention... and im wondering will we ever see a time only version ? The star classic collection is another chapter of beauty in the book of simplicity... 

Hi Faisal, the case size for the Star Classic Automatic

Like the new Timewalkers and the Classic is very elegant. I do wish the Timewalkers had a greater water resistance, I really see them as a possible great sports watch.

Mike, it's a very special era for Montblanc and it must be very satisfying for you to moderate and witness all of these quantum leaps first hand. Thank YOU, for your hard work communicating this increasingly amazing brand to the community Regards, Jon
