Montblanc

Dear all This evening, Montblanc and PuristSPro jointly organized a dinner in Singapore where Purists were invited to see and try on Montblanc's 2014 novelties in the metal. The private dinner was held in Montblanc Singapore's Mandarin Gallery flagship bo...  

So, finally, what do you think of the Meierstuck Heritage Chrono? Would you consider it? It seems that you fell in love with the Perpetual Calendar! Best, Nicolas

I really like it Nicolas! The movement is superbly finished of course. The dial, case everything is nice including the classy but discreet montblanc star diamond at the case. I won't get it though for 2 reasons. 1. I already have a Montblanc Villeret with... 

Looked to be a great time. Happy for the lucky PuristS who were able to attend. And I hope to see that RG Perpetual Calendar on your wrist one day soon ;-)

Yes I am worried if I get the steel version I will want to PG version later! The PG version is a bit more expensive so need to save up now till Aug when they arrive! :) Thanks for your nice comments on my post and glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Robin

I've still loving the Nicolas Rieussec Homage piece. It's a superb piece and hopefully a stainless steel regular edition will be released someday. Cheers, Anthony ...  

The Homage to NR is actually my favorite watch if I don't consider it being too big for me. It is definitely a winner for Montblanc this year. From what I heard and observed last night, I think this watch will be sold out very quickly esp the steel versio... 

Excellent post, beautiful watches. I have taken a liking to the The TimeWalker Extreme Chronograph DLC too. Too bad I wasn't able to make it, I'll be sure to join next time.

Let's do lunch one of these days and we can try on the various Timewalkers :) The new Timewalker Extreme Chronograph DLC will be leaving Singapore to other markets soon though. I will help you check if we can still see it today or so. Good thing is the bo... 

I like how the a brand speaks to the audience through events like this.

I am sure you would have enjoyed the event, as well as the watches and the company of fellow purists. Hope you can see the Montblanc 2014 novelties in Taiwan soon. I think you will like them :) Cheers Robin

Some of pictures to add-on ... Venue of the event - the upper floor of the Montblanc Singapore Flagship Boutique Some snapshots before event began ... Reception The VIP room where the event was hosted ... Placards ... The Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage P...

Thank you for adding on to my post... with more watches! :) We all had a good time. Looking forward to our next catch up my friend. cheers robin

Look at that crowd! Thanks Kong for the photos. And especially for the photos of the food! It's Horogasm! I haven't seen you and Horogasm for a long time. You for much longer. That really was an awesome event. And the food looks very interesting...

Thanks Patrick. It's a bit difficult to shoot the photographer :-) A long while didn't see you too. Kong

Montblanc with its Heritage collection presented this year a solid offer. When it comes to this new collection, I think that my fav watch is at the end the Moonphase for its overall balance. The new Rieussec also seduced me. Thanks a lot for the pics and ... 

The Heritage Moonphase looks quite elegant in your photo. Thanks for the report Robin, Montblanc continues to do great things!

Which 2014 Montblanc watch is your favorite? :) Cheers Robin

... thank you very much for the excellent report which makes those people who were not present at the event to join the event with us virtually now. the event was very well organized and received, fine food and wine, good companies and of course the sihh ...  

Thank you for adding on to this post with your lovely pictures. Like you, I also like the Meisterstuck Heritage Perpetual Calendar the most, amongst the 2014 collection. Not sure on PG or steel for now. Glad you enjoyed the event btw and as mentioned.... ... 

I haven't held the Metamorphosis watch in my hands yet. And I event went to Geneva to see it! They really went the extra mile in Singapore!

I wish I was there to enjoy the company, food, and watches. Looks like a great time. For a second, I thought the NR looked great on your wrist...then I read your comment :-) Best, Mike

Then as mentioned, I would have booked the Homage to Nicolas Rieussec on the spot that night !! Wish you were here too Mike - always wanted to meet you in person. I am sure we will have a chance next time! :) Hope you will see these pieces real soon too. ... 

??? Fireproof? Regards, MTF ...  

Water and Fire resistant. Not that the watch is fireproof! Sorry for the typo MTF! :) I love the looks and more importantly the feel of this new leather strap. A perfect blend of new technology and classical luxurious leather. Cheers Robin

Fireproof watch would have been very exciting....Not that I regularly rush into burning buildings ;) Regards MTF

Classic problem, "Hot feature, but what makes the benefit cool?" Why's the fire-resistant strap beneficial? What's the story behind its invention? Here's my hypothetical story... Was this strap designed for race car drivers who have to wear the watch with... 

Complements the timepiece's name, the TimeWalker Extreme Chronograph DLC. The Diamond-Like Carbon coating on the case also reflects the Extreme nature of this watch. The watch is meant for adventures from how I see it! :) (Not for swimming though as it is... 

I shouldn't admit this in public. But during IGOTT 2, a festival we had in Las Vegas for PuristSPro members from around the world, I wore a... er... XXXXX to the go kart session. Just read this article. amp;fi=17&pi=4658178&ti=715028&s=0 I'm d... 

Thanks for sharing your time with us, Robin. Looks like a very nice and interesting event and you brought that to us. I've not paid enough attention to Montblanc, I must admit, but the Homage to Nicolas Rieussec and the Heritage Pulsograph is very attract... 

The Homage to Nicolas Rieussec is indeed an outstanding watch. It has the neatest dial amongst all the Nicolas Rieussec watches imho. Although I also like the Rising Hour for its innovation. The new Meisterstuck Heritage Pulsograph was voted as our favori... 

Thanks for the comprehensive report of the Singpore event with Montblanc to showcase the SIHH 2014 novelties. That Meisterstück Heritage Perpetual Calendar looks great. Can't wait to see one here. Regards, ED-209

And glad you like the Meisterstuck Heritage Perpetual Calendar. It's my personal favorite too for Montblanc's 2014 novelties! Cheers Robin

Another amazing event! Thanks for sharing! Always a big fan of these events! And definitely well attended by very impressive watches!

It's indeed a Montblanc-PPro event. We have Purists looking at Villeret priced watches as well as those in the more accessible range. It is indeed a night where Montblanc shared their passion for fine watchmaking with Purists in Singapore. Glad you joined... 

Thanks to Montblanc, Kong & Hororgasm for the awesome event!! And to Robin for the detailed coverage. Indeed you have captured the beautiful timepieces of the evening. Cheers ET

Glad you enjoyed the event and the report, as well as the Montblanc 2014 timepieces. Hope to see you soon in Singapore cheers robin
