'The Christmas story is penmanship of the most brilliant sort, where God crafted a beginning that would never be subject to an ending.'
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

To Purists in general, and Montblanc forum participants more specifically, I would like to wish a happy festive season, some rest and relaxation and a happy, prosperous, healthy and watch filled 2017!

You have welcomed me to my new role very warmly - my early Christmas present at the forum so to speak - and I am really looking forward to an exciting year to come with you and Montblanc! Thanks to all, who have participated and shared here so vigorously, and I definitely have the feeling that 2016 saw many new Purists find added appreciation for the brand - the tireless work of my predecessors and the exciting new models from Montblanc ensured it. It seems that hardly a week goes by between consecutive Montblanc 1858 Tachymeters finding warm and loving homes with additional Purists (below Nico's example).

This speaks of a brand on a roll, and a vibrant community here to support it

I hope to become a worthy successor to Mike and Robin in the coming year and am confident that there will be lots of very exciting Montblanc news to be shared with all of you. Here's to another great one, and may it never end!

Key Points from the Discussion

Montblanc watches with Minerva movements are considered very interesting but often overpriced. There's a desire for Montblanc to return to the original Minerva roots, offering modestly priced watches with in-house movements, reminiscent of the Frey era's Pythagore.
The finish of Montblanc pieces, particularly those with Minerva heritage, is impeccable and well-thought-through, indicating significant progress under Montblanc's ownership.
While some Montblanc 1858 Villeret series watches feature ETA movements, limited editions still house Minerva movements, which are highly valued by collectors.
Montblanc also excels in fine writing instruments, with models like the JFK rollerball pen noted for their beauty.
The community expresses strong support and well wishes for KMII in their new role, anticipating stimulating exchanges and rewarding encounters.
