Zero discount strategy is the case with all artisan pieces, whether pens or watches. I would say that is good for value retention
Montblanc delivers fantastic customer experiences. Loads of nice international events in inspiring locations - the offer you got is for sure a great one.
No discount… 😏

Thanks a lot for your reply, Moritz. ☺️ A main point of the movement construction is that the large balance wheel is positioned outside of the tourbillon's rotating cage. It is raised 3.2 mm higher than the dial („Exo" stands for "external"). So the mecha...
Some answers / thoughts

As I own nine Villeret pieces at the moment with another one on order I can tell you the following: 1. Resale values have been doing better in the last three years with respect to pieces in the 35-50 kEuro range. Also, the new models sell out rather quick...
Thanks a lot, dear penfriend!

9 and almost 10 Villeret pieces… Wow, I am impressed! If I were to buy this watch, I would do so with the intention of keeping it and not reselling it, either. But it might happen that you are... forced to sell the watch. Nobody can - especially in this d...
Very interesting thoughts…

I admit that this is one of my insecurities. You can't even find anything published by Montblanc about this watch. All descriptions and further considerations are carried out by various online media. These reviews are all extremely informative and also co...
Agree and disagree

Agree the website is terrible. They do have some information on minerva and the special touches here- www.montblanc.com If you contact a boutique they can get you information packet by pdf. I think when many of the editions are 18 or 58 range they...
On point two and three, Penfriend is, of, course right. I will elaborate on your point one...

GP suffers a lot, too. Some years ago, you could expect to loose some 2 Third of the retail for a Girard Perregaux, which is totally unfair, but this was the reality. As for many other watches from other brands, you loose money on watches. So, Point One i...
Ha! 😁

I am after refinement AND coolness. I think the term "coolness" is very flexible and subjective, mon ami. The Montblanc Star Legacy Suspended Exo Tourbillon (this is the full name) is definitely the more "classic" watch but no less "cool" for me. Look at ...
You are right.

I can’t go wrong. But this is a very „important“ decision for me. And it’s about a lot of money… so I don’t want to make a mistake. Like you I am not the greatest tourbillon fan. A tourbillon today horologically doesn’t not really make sense in wrist watc...
Service is very good

try to establish the relationship directly with Villeret. You could even ask them to go there for a visit before deciding on that piece. Not sure whether Bucherer can help but it is worth a try. And if not I can help but that would rule Bucherer out in th...
