Montblanc

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 the process because it leads straight to the Montblanc KAM.

that helps me a lot.

Maybe I'll take up your offer.
Anyway, thank you very much!

I'll report as soon as I've finally formed my opinion.

value aside (in my humble opinion many Tourbillon pieces would lose value to some degree) I would feel more comfortable to buy such an expensive watch from a watchmaking company that is here to stay. Montblanc being a big group can simply decide to phase out many / all high end models as are not critical to their business. GP Tourbillons are always goign to be an important part of their collection.

You made a point. But I am sure you cannot compare these two pieces. The Villeret and especially it’s movement is a sublime piece of art.

And how would you rate the movement of the GP Neo Tourbillon in comparison?

and opinion.

but I am biased, having one myself. Any other comparison between the MB and the GP just does not work for me as both watches have totally different attitudes. What do you prefer to look at? Aventurine or three bridges, that is the question

if you compare the Suspended Exo Tourbillon with the Exo Tourbillon Rattrapante of our friend penfriend.

The Exo Tourbillon Rattrapante costs two and a half times more than the „Suspendu“ and was presented in 2013. The Suspendu was presented in 2021.

and I have no idea what another brand like ALS would charge for that tbh, but surely more

and I have an ego-tourb ;-) what I prefer

In life, an ego-turbo may sometimes be an advantage…

But I think this is also another league than the Suspended Exo Tourbillon I saw.

but also the dial is important, one should never forget. and I love the aventurine dial
