There are quite of few nuggets of interesting information!

1.  Montblanc still is making a big push into China, I thought the market had cooled there

2. A new Metamorphosis!  This should be interesting...I wonder what two features will be hidden.  Also that means that the Metamorphosis mechanism/movement is now perfected and they are confident enough to go with a second edition.



3.  Love the idea of continued integration from Villeret into Le Locle.  This year was the Timewalker chronograph 100.  Could they be putting something together for the Rieussec line?  That would be a sight to behold




Thanks for that wonderful interview Ken

Cheers, Mike

Enjoyed all the new info provided thank you Ken! Those piece unique Villerets... If I want another Montblanc Villeret it will have to be a piece unique or bespoke one :) The closer collaboration of LeLocle and Villeret has already begun and I look forward...

Thank you for the interview. I thought the name was familiar... It is incredible how resistant watch-geeks are to change. The normal customer seems unaffected by product change. When Montblanc the pen company bought the Seeger leather brand and continued ... 

Great interview [nt]
