Montblanc Villeret Grand Chronographe Enamel Dial Watch
Most people haven’t followed Montblanc’s ascension to a high-end watch maker like I have. The path they made from even making timepieces in the first place to where they are now is interesting, and only took about 10 years. Villeret 1858 collection watches are among their highest-end pieces and rely on Montblanc Villeret – which was formerly Minerva.

The enamel dial (here in blue) is quite amazing, and at 47mm wide – this isn’t your usual petite classy timepiece. Oh, and the movement decoration is really good.

Watches that do things other than just tell the time hold a special place in the hearts of many timepiece collectors. The Favre-Leuba Raider Bivouac 9000 (reference 00.10105.06.45.45) is a great example, as it combines both a mechanical watch movement and a mechanical altimeter. The funny thing is that most of those “accessory” features in watches – while entirely functional and reliable – have difficulty applying to many real-world situations today. This is further reinforcement of the notion that we want luxury watches (and tools) for their emotional value as well as their functional value. I say all this because this is a review of a watch with a useful piece of functionality that while more “satisfying” in mechanical form, isn’t necessarily more useful than its more modern digital counterparts… and yet we still want it.A watch with an altimeter built into it is designed (of course) to indicate your current altitude.
