A Montblanc holiday contest
So the question is: "If you could gift a Montblanc watch, which one would it be?"
The rules are simple. To enter you only need to respond to this post. In the response you must include 3 photos. One photo should be the Star/Sport model you would choose to give. The second photo should be a Rieussec or Timewalker model of your choosing. The third photo should be a Villeret. That's it! No explanations are necessary so a simple post with only 3 photos and no words qualify. Anyone can enter (including PPro mods). Winner chosen completely at random...probably by my daughter. Shipped to the winner free of charge.
The contest will last for 12 days (why? Because of the song! )
What am I giving away?
A very rare, very collectible, limited edition lighted Montblanc loop
Yes, its the lighted loop which was gifted to PPro IGOTT2 attendees. Every guest only received one of these...no extras were given to my knowledge eventhough many tried to cajole a spare.
This loop has remained unused ( I unsealed it for the first time today to take the photos and to test the light)
Good luck! I'm interested to see your choices...
For those wondering why I've never used the loop...here is the one I use instead
The loop my mother used when she studied at the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), for her final GIA exams 30 years ago, and daily during her 15 year retail career. Notice the patina
Happy Holidays and warmest wishes,
Mike
I am banned but I start off the contest
I already have the special loupe given to PuristS at our 2nd International Gathering Of The Tribes (IGOTT-2).
I do not qualify for the contest but I am happy to start off the contest with my photos.
Ha! Perhaps MB will come up with an -S version
of the BiFrequence..then it will be a sports watch!
Thanks for being first one at bat!
Best, Mike
You and I have very similar tastes!
Good taste of course! But we already knew that
Thanks for entering and good luck.
Cheers, Mike
me me me~
the star with a star shape design engine at the center is simply brilliant!
ya i know its only watch, but i wouldn't mind it in tantalum or titanium:p
i said it b4 & i ll say it again, the "little green man" case is a touch of alien! in elegance
or in nude:P
Usually in the nude is the way to go
Seeing and appreciating all the perfections and imperfections :p
The bicylindrique is so cool...coupled with the Mysterieuse dial...if I could only be gifted with one of those!
Good luck Ed and thanks for your picks
Happy Holidays,
Mike
thx (crossing fingers lo~) [nt]
Top 3 ！
Star Elegence and undoubted choice ! Love that "stitchless" strap !
The new jumping hour .... an evolution of a GREAT watch ! In Rose GOLD , pls !
What I really need the loupe for is this !!!
(Watches were on display in Beijing last week)
Seeing one is a treat ! Handling and trying on both ... MAGICAL ! Elegance and warmth ... can't go wrong with either !
The refinement on that enamel dial is amazing and needs to be appreciated in the metal.
Been haunting me ever since !
you are very classical in your choices
A simple and thin star classic, a regulateur dialed "Rising Hours" Rieussec, and the Villeret historical dialed monopusher.
I agree the Grande Feu dial and finishing on the Villeret would look so good under a lighted 10X loupe
Best, Mike
My ideal Christmas gifts!
WOW! They have a working Metamorphosis at the boutique!
Perhaps one of these days, our kids can pitch in and buy us a Villeret Timewriter of our choice for all the hard work we do bringing them up
Let's see a Timewriter project every 2-3 years...they would be on Timewriter 15 by then!
I like your other choices...you are the first to choose a Timewalker Twinfly.
Merry Christmas, Mike
Yes, Metamorphosis is in Singapore already...
Hinestly I'm very surprised
Yes but remember...the contest is which what you would GIVE not receive
Great holiday spirit...
Mike

The metaphormosis is a great choice for Christmas becos....
Ha! That MTF, he is always so value oriented
The first Purist to recognize the "purity" of Cartier and Chopard when all of us would have turned away given the "jewelry focus" of these two brands.
Best, Mike
Hehe... were you looking for...
Of course these models are not the best there are a lot of beautiful models of Montblanc
I'm just delighted to be involved in the competition Thank you very match WTA
Please feel free to explain your choices...
Thanks for entering and good luck
Mike
The reasons for those choices..
The first watch has personally enticed me so I would have give that someone the same model that I would personally liked. For those other 2 watches, I have chosen simple choices because any chronograph or complications would have be to chosen by one who wants to buy as it completes satisfaction, as well as the GMT option or the secondhand,it shows the expression of respect and appreciation in language of watches. For the third choice, the steel band is a personal choice as well as the colour black, it is acceptable by all and Mont Blanc really is famous for it's black colour. For my personal view and opinion, Mont Blanc is always a right choice to give as a gift to treasure and suitable for all ages.Thank you very much
WTA
Here are my choices...
This Star would be an elegant and great start of a collection...
I have been obsessed with this model, I hope to see it in the metal one day.
And what can I say, sheer artistry. All photos by foversta of course!
Since the Star WorldTimer and Timewalker share the same function
Good luck and thanks for participating,
Mike
