Vreds 0 Posted June 10, 2014 BTW, how did you ask Montblanc and Cartier for the catalogs? I simply sent a mail to their customers service including my adress and a small story about my love for the Montblanc brand and that my local AD didn't have the catalogue in stock. Some time later a delivery man knocked on the door, asking me for a signature Same thing works with almost any company it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind regards, Still no news from Patek Ordered mine from Patek yesterday, arrived special delivery today..... Although I will update on a slight story involved in ordering these catalogues... Requested some a little while back, minimal response from anyone.... Then yesterday I had a brain wave (it hurt)... and sent all of them the following message. Dear sirs, My name is Graham Shannahan and I am the sales manager for (company I work for), a commercial subcontractor based in the UK. I am writing to request a copy of your latest brochure / catalogue for our main reception area. This will be after a thorough viewing / compilation of a wish list by myself of course. Our owner is more of a car man I am afraid, so our current offerings of light reading consist of Aston Martin, Porsche & classic car magazines. I am a watch man myself and thought that adding the (Watch Brand) catalogue to the options would certainly up our standing with the visiting clients. We have a large number of visitors on a daily basis that includes company owners, managing directors and a number of other clients that I would consider to be within your target market, so hopefully this would prove to be beneficial to (Watch Brand) also. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on the details provided. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards Graham Shannahan Had tonnes of responses and amazing replies saying they would be glad to, offering personal contact names within the company if we want to order etc..... Think that was a good way to go about it, haha. I will keep you guys updated with the list of ones I receive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FuzzyCoyote 2 Posted June 11, 2014 The PP catalogue which is awesome and a 240 page book about the company. Awesome!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nacho1991 0 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Just received the NOMOS catalogues. Yes, catalogues. One catalog about 38 model watches, another one about all the watches, a price list, one brochure called "The watch metro" talking about the automatic movements and dissecting them, a letter from Lydia Senenko thanking the interest in their watches and four big quality photos with some watches on them. Everything packed in a cardboard envelope. Nice brand, indeed. I love the Bauhaus style they apply in everything they do. This time, no folder containing all the catalogues. I wanted it :( Fuzzy, I hate you and everyone that has received that stunning book. You've had a great idea sending that email. Congratulations PS: The new Berlin set will be present in the nex edition of the catalog, as Lydia has gently told me in her letter.

You've had a great idea sending that email. Congratulations Haha thanks buddy, seriously though, I had had a great response from writing it in that way rather than just as a personal thing. Can't wait for a few more to arrive. Had a few emailing me today saying they would send them out today to be delivered ASAP and if there was anything else I would like to request, please let them know..... Not sure what else to request, other than a watch, but anyone got any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
