Congratulations, Robin!
Well deserved. You've single handedly created my interest in Montblanc, which I only viewed as a pen maker with some supplemental luxury products, and one which I now view as one that is a credible a watchmaker as the other brands that we are all so familiar with.
Congratulations!
Richard

Thanks for the warm welcome Mike!
I look forward to working with you to share Montblanc's passion for fine watchmaking to more people on PuristSPro. I am as excited as you are on Montblanc's 2014 offerings! :) Cheers Robin
Wonderful news! And perhaps a great challenge.
Robin, what a pleasant bit of news :-) Please accept my best wishes as you now become a keeper of the Purists ethic: Passion, Opinion, Information. There is a constant tension between the brand's interests and those of the passionate collector so I'm very...
Please allow me to be a bit of a mother hen
I think you have posed many excellent questions. I'll let Robin answer the questions from a collector's point of view. But since he is a new moderator, please let me chime in for certain aspects of your questions... On PuristSPro, moderators serve 3 roles...
Well stated, Mike
you ole smoothie ;-) So do you get a Marshal's badge? Seriously, the work of moderators is so valuable to enabling discussions.
Thank you Dean!
I am especially touched with your kind words. We have been fellow VC collectors and I have utmost respect for your famed research into the history of brands and their watches/movements/famous collectors etc. Your insightful posts on your visit to the Mont...

We appreciate your enthusiasm for the Montblanc brand and we look forward to your posts! Plus first-hand experience from a Villeret owner. I speak for myself when I say this, but it's an honor and a pleasure to have first-hand information about this rare ...
Thank you for your warm welcome Patrick!
Your passion for MB Villeret is well known on this forum. In fact, you were one of those rooting for me behind my purchase. Thank you for helping and guiding me along when I made this "difficult" but extremely joyous choice. I have no regretted since! And...
I thank you for being open to the idea...
You really have no idea of how much joy I get when I hear someone who's willing to consider a Montblanc Villeret or something off the beaten path. There are always Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin lovers who don't necessarily buy the product because...
It's really late or really early here.
So, um, I apologize if there are cohesion problems or typos in my post.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Montblanc Villeret!
Your post was perfect Patrick, despite the very early morning for you:) You dont sleep like Vlad? ;) I went thru lots of thinking beyond I got my Montblanc Villeret and to be honest, I did get my Patek, VC, Lange and Breguet before my MB Villeret. Those w...
I can't speak for Vlad...
Vlad likes to fly around at night. Especially when the moon is bright. The only time I fly around at night is on a red-eye when I fly to the East Coast. Always reading your posts with gusto. We've had PuristS acquire Villeret pieces before, but you're the...
Congratulations!
Well deserved and I look forward to learn more from you in the near future. Cheers Pam
