Many things to say, Robin.
First of all, thanks for these comparisons with the Datograph. They both belong to the category of fine Chronographs, with a big C, along with another one, the JLC Duometre, of course.
We tend to forget the MB Villerets, and we are SO w(r)ong. 
Compared to the Dato, I would say that the Villeret is less baroque, in its decoration. I love the way its angles are polished, the high level of " bienfacture " .
But here, we are in the Champions League of Chronographs. I would rate these 2 above the Duometre, but the Duometre is more original ( and quite unique ) in its conception.
Which is also very interesting is how you explain the production of MB Villeret Chronographs, and the different collections. You are right to welcome these different collections, but it was very important to remind us the differences ( cases, dials, case backs... )
I am now convinced that it is worth getting 2 MB Villeret Chronographs: A 16.29, and a 13.21.
Thanks, my friend. I can't wait to see your new 1858 Tachymeter steel. You will adore it.

Thank you!
Excellent set of reviews Robin. As I have a similar watch to yours except in rose gold and therefore limited to 58 pieces, your set of 3 reviews will be a invaluable reading reference for me. Thanks again. Sham

Nico could read your mind....
He knows you want another watch too.... And another ... And another :p Cheers Robin
Thanks my friend
I can\'t wait for my 1858 Tachymeter too! If you know someone high up please plead for them to send to Singapore piece 100/100 asap! :p The JLC Duometre is an amazing modern chronograph and I know Jerome once said that was his proudest product when he was...
A fitting third part!
Not only did you go through the chrono comparison, which was helpful but also your personal thoughts on the use of the movement in other collections, which I found very helpful. A lovely watch by all means - was glad to have been able to play with it in S...
Glad you could play with the watch my friend
During your last visit to Singapore And thanks for your kind words. Glad you found the reviews useful Cheers Robin
Nice macro shots and write up Robin
Trophy wife or virtuous wife, your analogy was amusing and quite apt!
Thanks NT!
Lol it\'s quite apt indeed. The Dato is really sexy whereas the MB Villeret needs you to spend more private moments to appreciate it, like a spouse with lots of inner values (hidden by that secret hunter case back too!) Cheers Robin
lovely pixs and an enjoyable read !
Thanks for taking the time to share your personal experience and opinions of your Montblanc Villeret. Super cool seeing it on your wrist ! Cheers !
Thanks Chuck! I know you like this movement too :)
And you were so sharp to observe my special polishing Cheers Robin
