with this later Minerva of mine, produced in the day when the old Minerva was vaning and the new rising star as Montblanc's horological laboratory and centre of excellence was just faintly shimmering on the horizon:
I trust you will be an excellent host, and knowng you a bit from your intereventions here and also personally, I see no obstacle for your becoming a new shining star of your community. Montblanc is an excellent fit for you as a man of refinement and taste.
I just somehow have the feeling that Vienna develops into a new hotspot for watchlovers from all over the globe, don't you think?
Cheers and see you soon,
Magnus
Journey of discovery – my new role as Montblanc moderator
'A journey , after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we have reached our door step once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over , because the film of memory continues running on inside of us long after we have com...
Congratulations, my friend, you are a great fit for this moderator job...
I guess right, did I? When Mark in Paris wrote that KV post, I had the same hunch too Rgds Raymond
I will borrow your crystal ball on occassion, Raymond! Wish I had the foresight :)
Thanks for your kind words And you are right - you did say something to that effect about a month or so ago
Feel free to borrow my magic 8-ball . . .
[seen here with a former co-worker's '59 Ω] . . . anytime - it's predictive powers are nothing short of amazing. Glad to have you aboard, K. Montblanc - and particularly Villeret - is deserving of attention from the community. I came close to acquiring a ...
Thanks, Art!
I will need your magic 8-ball many a time, I\'m sure As for Minerva / Montblanc - at the rate they\'re going, there might be one you would consider adding to your collection sooner or later Thanks a lot for your kind welcome to the ranks and the cool stor...
Based on your first post as Moderator ...
We can expect true wonders. I'm sure that your task will be huge, giving the highlights that we are seeing from the newest releases. I'm looking forward for your help/advise to, maybe, pickup my first Montblanc. Cheers, Nilo
It would be a pleasure indeed! :)
Thank you so much for these really encouraging words, Nilo! If you do add Montbanc to your watch collecting portfolio I am really looking forward to all the spectacular pictures!
The Power of our...
education Great post Best of luck my friend Looking forward reading and writing much more about MB Cheers D P.S. MB is also a MB but MB as well LOL!
Thanks Damjan!
I think apart from you and Zabreg the MB part may be lost on the others but well played Looking forward to some poisoning with MB at the next MPG GTG, in return to you doing it with grappa
Congratulations again.
A wonderfully worded first post in your new role. Good luck to you and I hope you find much satisfaction doing it.
I am confident it will be a delight :)
And quite some work, too. No more one sentence threads for me now, at least not here
A top first Mod's post, K.
With Class and Elegance, which doesn't surprise me, coming from you. The expertise will come, with months and years passing. Nobody can claim to be an expert, as we learn every day. So, no worries, here. Montblanc is lucky to have you, as they were lucky ...
Thank you so much Nico!
Means a lot, coming from you First I need to get the little one to sleep, then the work continues And you have certainly noticed, no date
Congratulation, my Friend, you deserved for it!
Both the moderator's role and both the Minerva Pythagore! I am sure that now both in a good hands and wish you very pleasant moments for both the watch and your new job! Yours, Adam
Thanks a lot!
You know that you played a part in getting me here Thank you also for helping me out to set out on this journey! Our little GTG was great fun and I will write more about the Pythagore shortly

Thank you Magnus :)
The fin de siecle Vienna had its coffee house intellectuals, maybe we could form the coffee house horologists? You have certainly been a shining example of how it works, already Your Minerva has been one of the highlights of our GTG for me and I am sure w...
What a first post as a moderator.
With that 1996 Miverva watch, you've already destined to be the Montblanc moderator. All the best to your moderator life, and look forward to a even greater development of this forum, which is already the best Montblanc forum in the world!
Your expectations are very steep, Luis :)
I hope to be able to fill them one day - with what went on before me, no mean feat
Glad to have been a part of your journey :)
great writeup! You have great potential! Cheers Robin
Thank you, Robin - means a lot coming from you :)
Will aspire to be a worthy successor!
So...does this mean an 1858 chrono for christmas?
Congratulations on the position! Looking forward to more posts to come! Regards, skyeriding
Unfortunately not yet :)
As much as I would like it to be so, that step will still have to wait. Thanks a lot Skyeriding!
Beautiful words.
As they say: go onward and upward. I look forward to seeing your contributions . That Pythagore is a treasure too
