Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) proudly showcases his Montblanc Villeret Chronograph Grand Feu Enamel, highlighting the engraved signature of Master Watchmaker Demetrio Cabiddu. His post delves into the historical context of Montblanc Villeret's production policies and raises concerns about changes in brand strategy regarding limited editions.
Unfortunately no need of his skills for the new Montblanc (formerly Minerva).
He is probably happier now enjoying his retirement
Now as for the 288 pieces per movement, I was not aware of that, but to give you my opinion, there are two things to avoid: - This kind of limitation. Would we have the 1858 Tachymeter, if they respected it? Would we have other treasures to be released? - At the opposite of the " spectrum ", Montblanc should avoid to have limited editions of the limited editions. The 1858 Tachymeter Bronze raises that question: Is it good for the image of the brand to have another LE of the 1858 Tachymeter? How
Yes that 288 "natural limitation" per Villeret movement was well documented when The Montblanc Villeret Collection Villeret 1858 was launched way back in 2007 and in their 2008 Anniversary launches (when this watch of mine was launched). Sadly when the new mgt decided to go away from this policy, nothing was communicated. As per my other post to KMII, collectors of older Villeret watches like me are not happy and we lose faith in the brand as a result Cheers Robin
Fascinated by the story and the watch. All the best, Alex
