Montblanc Villeret ExoTourbillon Chronograph

Montblanc released the new Heritage Chronometrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph during SIHH 2015. This is another example of the collaboration between the 2 manufactures of Montblanc, the manufactures in Villeret and in LeLocle, something which Montblan...  

At 44 mm, it would be better, I find. In terms of wearibility and aesthetics, too.

Other than that, I have to spend more time seeing it in the flesh... Thanks for the write up, Robin. Best, Nicolas

Agree Nico

44mm will be better. I'm also looking forward to seeing the new Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph. Want to try it for size! Cheers Robin

I must say that the watch which intrigued me the most was their World Time.

Don't worry, I will elaborate on that very soon. Next week! Best, Nicolas

Thank you in advance Nico!

First of all, great review and pictures, Robin; many thanks for sharing. A few comments from my end: I have been following MB's development of a solid range of timepieces over the last few years - the Villeret ExoTourbillon Chrono certainly exceeds any ex... 

First of all, Warm Welcome to PuristSPro Konstantinos !

Glad you have joined our community here! Like you, I believe Mr Lambert will and already has made a big impact on Montblanc's watch category development. The ExoTourbillon was developed before he joined the firm as their CEO. However it is now available n... 

Thanks

for the detailed and well written report Robin. Have to echo that at 47mm, this would not be a piece for everybody, including myself who can't boast a large wrist. However it is still interesting to see how far MB has come, in producing what is undoubtedl... 

Yeah Dylan our wrists are too small to carry a 47mm watch :(

Looking at the ExoTourbillon in action is really a treat for the eyes! Let's wait for the 44mm Heritage Chronometrie ExoTourbillon - it may fit us better :) Cheers Robin

Perhaps a 40mm MB Villeret one day...

Great review, Robin! The watch has beautiful curves and nice classical look, although the myriads of elements on the dial are rather distracting for a regulator watch which by right should provide a clear and precise manner of time-telling to its wearer. ... 

Fully agree Bro

I also think a 40mm version will be even more appealing. Can fit more wrist size and appear a lot more elegant. I think that Montblanc Villeret traditionally favored large movements to show off their finishing skills :) Larger movements are generally more...
