It is true that Montblanc is probably the most famous pen manufacturer, but most pen enthusiasts avoid them like the plague. Fame != quality.
However, the watches have been getting great reviews lately, and some of their more high-end models are fantastic watches.
Goose: They are neither a top-quality watchmaker or over-priced rubbish: they reside somewhere in the middle, and it sounds like they are trying to make strides, ya know? I'd check out the Montblanc forum on Timezone for lots of good information.
