Montblanc Villeret Monopusher Chronograph PuristS Edition.
That was THE watch which made me pay interest to Montblanc:
The reasons are easy to understand: The 43, 5 mm case is superb, the Cal 16.29 with its devil's tail is gorgeous, and the enamel dial is to die for. The cherry on the cake? The monopusher, integrated to the crown.
This watch was unveiled and made in collaboration with and for our Website, to celebrate our 10th Anniversary, in 2011.
At that time, I couldn't imagine I would one day pay interest to Montblanc watches, to be honest.
Since... since I saw these Villeret Minerva movements, and these gorgeous dials.
This P 10 Edition started it all. It made me change my mind. Even if I would have preferred a Red 10 rather than the red P 10, to tell the truth. But it had and has all the ingredients of a fine chronograph.
I would love to see something as exciting with a time only, mechanically and aesthetically. Perhaps for our 15th anniversary? 
Best,
Nicolas

Not hiding it, am I? ;)
But then you were the one advising for more debate and I just followed your advice
I love this edition and actually MB Villeret in general...
And the reason I did not buy one was because of the P10, rather than just the red 10 as you say. I ended up with the 'regular' black enamel dial version which I really do love and must say the movement is stunning. Cheers Andrew
I have to be honest that I don't love the dial...
I understand it, I acknowledge its beauty, but it is not my style. Now the movement... whoa. And a monopusher, something I have always lusted for. If only it came in another amazing configuration.... aah yes! It does! Counting the days, Amigo.
I have no idea honestly.
I was encouraged by your recent reports that yours will be picked up in March. I am hoping April-ish?
The caliber 16.29
Is great on our soon to be Incoming, the 1858 Chrono Tachydate But on the older Villerets with solid gold grand feu enamel dials, solid gold hands and other high end craftsmanship details from Montblanc Villeret, the caliber 16.29 is even more special lik...
