The Movement

Classically beautiful as the exterior of the watch is, it is the movement finishing that really impresses.

Anglage

The extremely even anglage can be seen on the sweeping edges of this distinctive Y bridge. This is a true hallmark of a hand-finished movement.

Striping

The bridges and cocks are decorated with extremely fine striping, and at different angles, they reflect light in an extremely aesthetic fashion.

arrow

The traditional Minerva arrow head logo has been integrated into the movement design. This is one of the most distinctive parts of the movement and the decoration of it is also done to exacting standards.

Conclusion

The Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 displays a quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail found only in the very best Swiss and German luxury watches today.

While there may be cynics regarding the pairing of a smaller watchmaking house and a larger luxury brand, if the standard of this collection is anything to go by, we can expect more excellent timepieces from Montblanc and Minerva in the future.
