during a visit to Villeret back in 2013. The chronograph operated at 50 Hz in normal operation and could switch to 500 Hz for short-interval timing to 1/1000 sec. VC's application goes in the opposite direction; 5 Hz in normal operation but able to slow t...  

Wow, thank you for sharing this!

I‘ve never heard of this Montblanc. Seems pretty funky, timing to 1/1000 sec by fumbling with a pusher. Especially if you have my reaction time 😂

Thank you for your kind words!

Already back to Lake Constance. But I could squeeze in a visit at the FPJ boutique in Geneva 👌🏻

Very nice Daniel - very special!

I like the way VC have used the same aesthetic in the recent Traditionelle models. The combination of modern looks in a traditional looking case really appeals to me for some reason. All the best, Jon

I fully agree.

The design choices are bold on this one, but they work very well due to the excuisite craftmanship and careful execution. The VC savoir-faire is very present, alowing them to go way more avantgarde than expected. Glad you like it, Jon!

A dream

The watch and scenery! I haven't been, but assume this is a main boutique? I know the hq has the new futuristic architecture

Actually the Geneva boutique is in a different place.

I believe the sign is where their previous boutique used to be. The new one is away from the river, at Place Longemalle.

Unbelievable watch. Rarely seen in the flesh. My favourite watch since

It's release. Diameter is perfect, not too big. The overall aesthetics are beautiful and the twin power reserve function is so innovative. Enjoy a grail of a watch. Cheers S

I hear less than 25 of them were made to date.

Enjoying mine thoroughly. From the concept of the „standby mode“ to the design to the very nice execution, it ticks many boxes. Very happy you like it!

It is.

And I wonder how many watch brands could conceive and the reliably build such a movement. I don’t think I‘d need more than my 2 hands to count.
