Heldring-
Well their whole watchmaking business is simply Minerva, who they bought. They have little heritage themselves in that. But the designs they’re coming out with are quite appealing & marketable. There’s a hand-wound two hand ultra-slim model that’s particularly nice for the money. (Though I asked about it in the Montblanc boutique in Westfield and they pretty much denied all knowledge of it and said they couldn’t get it in.)

The main man is a mate of Clymer at Hoodwinkee so they’re getting lots of positive press from them. But regardless, the cheaper retro stuff is ok. Not sure who buys Montblanc tourbillons.

Montblanc should stick to making pens
I want to agree. But have you seen their watches?

Tudor shot themselves on the foot when they let Davide Cerrato leave for Montblanc. Just look at 2019 Montblanc offerings vs 2019 Tudor offerings..
