Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) shares his experience visiting the Montblanc boutique in Singapore, focusing on the Villeret Vintage Chronograph. He highlights the impressive Calibre 16.29 movement and the watch's aesthetic appeal, despite finding its 43.5mm size and lug design challenging for his wrist. The post captures the allure of Montblanc's Villeret collection and the personal connection collectors have with these timepieces.





My paragraphing is still messed up. Mike or any moderator, could you pls edit my post with some paragraphing (after and before each smiley)? I dont have a pc now with me (am outside) and can't edit my post later. Thank you Robin
I'd keep some beer there if they had a fridge. Or Bring Your Own Beer. Whatever your choice beverage is. Disclaimer: Please follow country specific rules. This is perfectly legal where I live. The 16-29 movement is my favorite Minerva Villeret movement. Huge balance wheel, slow beat, Minerva V Bridge, Minerva Arrow, and mono-pusher. But I agree, it is a very large movement, which makes it a very large watch.
Nice job with the photos between the texts. Great editing!
You guys respond so quickly! It's much more readable now. Thanks for the edit Magnus! For the sake of posting on a mobile device on PuristSPro, I may get another smartphone next! Cheers Robin
Next time I will bring some beer there haha! Hang on.. I might buy on impulse these beauties if I drink! Alcohol and watch poison is a deadly combo! ;) Cheers Robin
It's a great collection that I tried on too. The little concern I had was about the lugs which are quite long, in addition to the wide case. But a fantastic finishing. Thanks for sharing Cheers, Mark
