I was at the Welt at 07.15 this morning fulfilling my official duty as official first customer. Amazing place. Even more amazing than I had thought during previous visits before deliveries started today.

Car is great - wood all matches nicely. Love it. More photos to follow but for now...

Congratulations! I just read an extensive architechtural article about it in the brand new magazine "Vogue Men" which is chockablock with high-end Euro stories and ads (Maybach on the back cover); so this piece was no surprise to me. I just assumed--in terms of magazine article publication lead times--that the place had been open for some time, even though no one had mentioned it.

That you got to be #1 is really quite special. Best wishes with the newest version of my car. (What transmission did you get?)

Congrats Jonathan! I hope your car is everything you hoped it would be.

I'm sure your experience being the first European Delivery at the Welt was a fantastic one! Thanks for keeping us in the loop as you got closer and closer to your ultimate goal!
