Introducing: The Montblanc Collection Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch 110 Years Edition
The navigation theme has been a pretty prominent one in Montblanc’s recent production – probably most visibly, in the watches named for the famous Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gama – but this year Montblanc’s pretty much pulled out all the stops in making something that speaks both to the history of marine chronometers, as well as showcasing the artisanal side of watchmaking in the Montblanc portfolio as it exists at the Minerva movement manufacture (the counterpart to the somewhat larger scale production facility that Montblanc maintains in Le Locle).  The Montblanc Collection Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch 110 Years Edition (with which Montblanc challenges Audemars Piguet for Brand That Gives The Longest Names To Its Watches) and the Montblanc Collection Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch 110 Years Edition Unique Piece (ditto) are triple time zone, world-time tourbillon pocket watches of really incredible beauty; the latter is paired with a pretty

Out And About...
Out and about yesterday, I found myself, as I so often do, at Costco.I looked at their watches, and my eye was drawn to a very large Ritmo. I've heard of that brand here before, but never really considered it. As it was right in front of me, though, I checked it out.The first thing I noticed was how light it was. The case had to be 50mm, but it was light; almost too light. Upon further examination, I noticed that the lugs, and a surround encompassing the case, were plastic. I found this surprising and, frankly, a tad worrisome. I don't think I'd ever consider a watch with plastic lugs like this one had.It was a nice looking watch. Like I said, it was big, with a blue face and a blue unidirectional bezel (which actually wasn't too tight, as it rotated back a few ticks).I've no idea where it's made; indeed, I don't know much about it at all.Anyone here care to comment on Ritmo watches?
