+1...my first thought too
Some of these look like JLC Rendez-Vous copies, or at least too heavily inspired by JLC's pieces.
This is not the first time Monblanc has borrowed heavily from JLC's designs--or at least that's my impression.
Disappointing that Montblanc isn't blazing its own trail on some of these pieces.

Thanks for your candid thoughts John
In my review of the Heritage Chronometrie Dual Time, I mentioned the same feedback - that Montblanc needs more of their own design DNA, which some models have and I hope to see more from them. I have high hopes on Montblanc and I look forward to their off...
Lol I knew someone will say that! :p

Thanks! I learn something new every day :)
Sorry been very busy with work this week - I will confirm if the new Boheme Moongarden follows the Northern Hemisphere's full moon name or not. Cheers robin
You said it!
Looks like Jerome is bringing over more JLC DNA. Will the Montblanc brand DNA become eroded or cross pollinated with JLC? I think it's starting now.
I believe Montblanc can draw lots of inspiration from Minerva too

It's really beautiful in the metal
I saw it some time ago but wasn\'t allowed to take photos then as it was under embargo. Will try to visit them soon for some live shots! Have a good weekend Thomas Cheers Robin
