A Rattrapante, nothing else than a Rattrapante. With a Villeret movement. And a 42 / 43 mm case. Jerome, please, pretty please. All the best, and see Da Man soon. Best, Nicolas

How much is the cheap turbo (tourbillon for friends)?

I believe they have the skills to be an important brand for the group. I've recently seen the orbis terrarum and has nothing less than the inside-the-group competitors like JLC and VC. Sometimes i wonder if this internal "fight" among high-end brands is n...

.. this can be an exception. May vary by the currency, but around CHF30-45K. I asked similar question - his answer was, the first one to suffer would be his own "affordable" products and NOT the other way around, according to him.

I know your policy

I'm curious because with the introduction of the Tag heuer cheap turbo this world has been shocked. JCB has broken that cartel. I remember a JLC turbo with a "cheap" price, close to the montblanc. By the way they (should) have a shared line to follow, eve...

thought highest of him among watchmaker executives, a man of genuine integrity and mindful leadership. I very much agree with the commentary he provided in your excellent interview. Thank you very much for the effort. Cheers, Filip

Great insight and a very promising direction :)

Really like what is coming from the brand under JL's leadership. Some beautifully finished timepieces.

March, this year. [nt]

Without a tourbillon though!

 
 By: cory : October 10th, 2016-00:17
The one that exists with a tourbillon is incredible and that finish!?

I'm curious as to where JL will take us next...

And what complication(s)?! Exciting times with Montblanc

Thank you Ken.
