Montblanc Collection Villeret packaging

Firstly, big congrats Agent Alex 007!! This is a beautiful monopusher chronograph with a great design! Love the red gold and black dial combination plus of course that gorgeous calibre 16.29!!! Thanks for sharing with us your new joy and pics
You must be the first in the world to get a delivery !

As mentioned in my other post, here in Singapore, we were told the red gold 1858 chronograph Tachymeter is sold out! One of my friend is on waitlist in case someone who ordered pulls out. So you were wise to order it quick!

On the packaging, I agree it is a shame. Even though the 1858 collection is a regular Montblanc collection, it has a Villeret movement! It should at least have a nicer packaging than the standard Star or Timewalker or Heritage Spirit collection. I believe the same goes for the Heritage Spirit Pulsograph - same regular MB packaging even though the Villeret calibre 13.21 is in the case.

The collection Villeret watches come with a much more luxurious packaging though. I guess this is where Montblanc really draws the line on this collection (which is now mostly piece unique, LE 8 or 18 only - even the LE 58 are a thing of the past now for this collection which only only produces around 50 pieces a year focusing on high complications).

Here are some pics of the box and packaging of my Villeret chronograph grand feu enamel piece 1/8. The calibre 13.21 is also found on the Heritage Spirit Pulsograph but the packaging of the 2 watches are vastly different as mentioned.





Really nice wooden box


My biggest watch box is from Montblanc!!



Lithographs included for the watch in a nice folder. Signed by master watchmaker Mr Cabbidu





I don't expect Montblanc to give such packaging to the non Villeret series but perhaps something better than the regular collections if a Villeret movement is in the case

Will feedback to Montblanc

Cheers
