Presentation Box

Mike - I took some quick pictures of the outer box and inner box.

I remember when I first started collecting watches how exciting it was to peel away the layers - outer box, inner box, etc. The very first impression was the box! A high quality wood box like a Panerai, IWC, Blancpain,etc. always made my heart beat faster. Once the watch was firmly on the wrist, the presentation materials/boxes were put away in storage with the focus on the obvious - the watch. So, it raises an interesting issue, how important is the overall presentation and the boxes that contain our timepieces. The Panerai presentation is arguably at one extreme while the Rolex presentation arguably at the other extreme. I would say the presentation for the Montblanc is closer to the Rolex presentation than the Panerai presentation. Fairly mundane packaging, plastic (I think) black inner box of average quality with a basic interior. It definitely did not make my heart beat faster. I hope they will be using something quite a bit different for the Villeret 1858 collection and my recommendation would be to take it up a notch for the Rieussecs

Here are the pictures:
