Great pictures and write-up Ken!
I spent a good time reading it as I sat down to enjoy a lonely sashimi lunch yesterday, with music from Koji Tamaki and Mayumi Itsuwa (my favorite Japanese singers) in the background. How fitting...
Montblanc has certainly come a long way under Jerome's capable leadership and the novelties represent good value for money. However, my heart goes out to people who had lost their lives or become homeless during the devastating tsunami. My son got married around that time and one of his INSEAD buddies from Japan had to walk for three hours to go to the airport to fly here and attend his wedding....
Hope this catches you well.
All the best
Sam
Montblanc brings joy on 3/11, the sorrow mourning day for Japan - Novelties Live Pics.
Montblanc doesn't forget. It's been 5 years since the disaster. No matter how old it gets, it never ceases to bring tears to my eyes, thinking of those who were lost, who lost the loved ones, who lost something or everything, and we were all affected in o...
Thank you Ken.
Thank you Ken for the amazing post. Hard to imagine that it's been five years already. The Montblanc pieces here are beautiful, but my favorite is still the Villeret Chronograph 1858 Model. Thank you Ken for this post.
Somehow, "Minerva" engraved movements have magnet to attract us, right?
That's damn sure. Having been on this path for long, our "next target" becomes narrower and more specific. Villeret or 1858 series might be it.... Thank you for your kind words. And we will NOT forget those who helped us back then. Thanks, Patrick! Ken
Great old school report!
Thank you very much dear Ken Always loved to read you reports As for MB it has passed miles in last couple of years range and quality wise When faced with disaster one realizes how small and insignificant we truly are Keep strong my friend Best D
Glad you like my report style :-))
Yup, I am too old to change my style, hahaha. Yup, MB has really, really wonderful watches today. Who is at the helm may have big impact and that is also amazing. Yes, those small fight, or even hurting, killing each other with clear intention is really, ...
When I saw your last pic I thought you photographed my daughter's room. :)
Thanks for this nice pictorial report, Ken. So, The Blue Chronograph seems to have a big impact on our heart, don't you think? Agreed on the Tourbillon Cylindrique Geospheres. I just wish Montblanc find shorter names for their watches! Best, Nicolas
Hahaha, it could be, as I thought I came back to the wrong home....
... except that my mother was in the living room with countless debris of the dishes, tableware, and such. I had to look up the catalog so many times to spell the model name correctly!! Thanks, Nico! Hope you enjoy the trip. Ken
5 years passed by so quickly
We will always remember and honor those who unfortunately lost their lives as well as those who helped out a lot to save the survivors despite all the risks. The 1858 chronograph tachymeter blue dial is still my favourite even thought the 2016 novelties a...
Yup, we will not forget those who helped....
... 1858 Tachymeter looks cool indeed.... And, the pocket watches..... Unbelievable.... Nice and very timely offer to remind us of the good old times.... Hey, anytime! Ken
Montblanc novelties are getting better and better every year.....
.... can't wait for the next one! Ken

I appreciate the efforts, help, and love at the most difficult event in our time....
... and I applaud those who walked hours to the airport to attend your son's wedding. That's Samurai spirit! Yeah, 20,000 people gone or gone missing instantly, and that is the power of the nature (not the nuclear bomb!). Makes us scratch our heads what t...
