We could do a joint pick-up at the Hentschel Workshop and I will organize a factory tour at Montblanc HQ for fountain pens and watches. But Paris is also very attractive ;-)

Huge Congrats with this amazing and beautiful watch .
By: Watchonthewrists : September 5th, 2021-10:47
I have a bit to many watches on order right now to justify a purchase like this at the moment π€¦π»ββοΈ will definitely be a big seller and i hope to see one in person when possible
Wow.
By: Lankysudanese : September 5th, 2021-10:57
Thatβs impressive. Particularly the chronometry. I was just talking to another prominent member about getting into hentschel, when the timing is right. Unfortunately, the timing is not right, for me π Gonna just settle for drooling over these watches once...

A very nice watch and a great way to celebrate!
By: eklektik : September 5th, 2021-22:38
Sadly, wrong timing for me... A pity as I really like the production of this rather small company from Hamburg. Another time definitely! Great initiative, congratulations for that! Best, E.
Very nice and fitting.

I only wear automatic watches, so I won't participate, but that watch looks so nice, and so horologically meritorious, that it almost made me change my practice!
Interested

Nice offer, Nico

New to WPS - Intro.
By: Garrettghu : September 6th, 2021-20:45
A member from a small group of collectors in the San Francisco Bay Area shared a link to this beautiful and stunning watch and although I have heard of WPS before this was the first time I signed up. I must admit I was bitten by the FOMO bug and I wanted ...
Many thanks Garrett for this detailed introduction
By: Mike H : September 6th, 2021-22:08
What an horological journey! Very glad to welcome you here. I am sure you will enjoy a lot being part of the WPS family. As Nicolas just mentioned we are glad to allocate one Anniversary watch to you Looking forward to reading you here on our different fo...

Well done Henrik! So glad of your decision
By: Mike H : September 7th, 2021-09:38
I am even more happy because you took your decision after seeing the prototype; it confirms that the mix of elements with this special dial works well
Thanks, H.

Great work on putting together a stunning classy piece from a top quality watchmaker. Was out the last couple of days. oh well I see I missed out on this piece but would love to get on the waiting list in case someone drops out. Thanks
Thanks!

By: penfriend : September 8th, 2021-17:10
Amanico and Mike H did a fantastic job with this choice. Although having met Mr. Hentschel before I never purchased a watch from him. Everything impressed me in terms of quality but I never got warm with one of their dials with respect to my personal tast...
Oooh la la!

On a light side....Seriously?!?! You are also doing limited editions and waiting list and application piece... lol

Yes. And FedEx just DID NOT CARE.
By: patrick_y : September 11th, 2021-18:29
Keep in mind, they're a monopoly/duopoloy, you have few alternatives; thus, FedEx doesn't need to be better. I blame the sender (a big jewelry store on Bond Street, even the best and biggest stores make small mistakes now and then) for using FedEx when th...

Why not?

I believe at least..
By: Ronald Held : September 16th, 2021-19:58
One other person got their reservation in before I did. If the first set of watches are sent out at the same time, then maybe.
I am certain that..
By: Ronald Held : September 17th, 2021-16:36
You will make the right choice. Should mine appear early, of course I would give my initial impressions.
For sure!
