Montblanc Villeret Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique 110 Years Anniversary Limited Edition
Apr 07, 2016,01:39 AM
Montblanc just celebrated its 110th anniversary with a big bash in New York City!
You may have seen Fx's post on the video presented by Hugh Jackman, Montblanc's global ambassador. The video gave a nice overview of the founding and history of Montblanc.
Montblanc is paying tribute to 110 years of fine craftsmanship with a limited edition of three timepieces. The Montblanc Collection Villeret Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique 110 Years Anniversary Limited Edition. Montblanc returns to its beginnings for the development of this new timepiece by recalling the design theme of the Maison’s first fountain pen series – the historic “Rouge et Noir” line – that features a serpent clip.
I have just shared the press release on our News Central and you can read them here:
I will be sharing more about this 110th Anniversary watch with live pictures very soon. The Bi-Cylinderique Tourbillon, the hand-engraving of the serpent makes this watch a real work of art!
Some live pictures to share for now. These are taken from the manufacture at Villeret (and not those professional pictures taken for marketing/PR so please bear with the more realistic pictures)
Stay tuned for my more detailed report.
And oh yes, Happy 110th Anniversary Montblanc! Continue to share the passion for fine watchmaking and craftsmanship and the arts!
Cheers

The Mysterious Hours and Minutes is quite a signature with the Montblanc Villeret Bi-Cylinderique series.
The Bi-Cylinderique Tourbillon looks great and I have posted a video of it before in the previous iteration of this complication in another Montblanc Villeret watch.
We should do a Bi-Cylinderique vs Exo-Tourbillon - like Batman vs Superman!
Serpent engraving on the case back and each case is numbered from 1 to 3.
Beautiful piece of art on the dial
