Watch Insider: Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 ExoTourbillon Rattrapante
Recently I had the opportunity to see the latest masterpiece from Montblanc’s Villeret collection, the 1858 ExoTourbillon Rattrapante, presented by new Montblanc CEO J��r?me Lambert. In this article, originally run on my blog, Watch Insider, I explore the watch and provide original photos and a short HD video.The Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 ExoTourbillon Rattrapante was one of the most spectacularly complicated timepieces at the Hong Kong “Watches and Wonders” watch fair, where it made its debut. It was developed by the chronograph specialists at the former Minerva, now a part of Montblanc, and offers a challenging new take on the rattrapante, the most complicated type of chronograph to produce.Unlike a conventional tourbillon, Montblanc's ExoTourbillon frees the large screw balance from the burden of the rotating cage. Rather than offering a mere chronograph, the new model contains a split-second chronograph with two column wheels and a classical double clamp.

What do you gentlemen think.

Met the Rolex Rep Today
Walked into my local AD and lo! The mythical Rolex rep was there. Actually, there were two of them, talking to the owner. The owner introduced me and immediately I wished I had shaved this morning. Oh, well. I asked about the shortage in some models and they said that Rolex decisions about supply are taken two years before so if there is an unforeseen increase in interest in particular models, there isn't much they can do about it immediately. Production ramp ups take more than a year after the decision is made and the decision isn't made quickly. I told them I owned an Explorer 1, brand new two weeks ago and said I bought it because it was a low-key watch that fit my personality. I said I was looking at the OP line and liked the 36mm and the 39mm sizes and colors except for the green pips on the blue dial for the 39mm. Just a little too funky for me but I try to fly under the radar generally. Nice guys with British accents (I guess people in Europe learn British English, from what I'm
