Montblanc showcased a remarkable collection at the Watches & Wonders fair this year, spotlighting the brand’s expertise in crafting in-house-built engines and technical precision. Once more, it unveiled an intriguing array of creations.
Montblanc’s 1858 Geosphere CARBO2 embodies the brand’s heritage of precision and robustness, inspired by legendary Minerva watches. Designed for mountain exploration, it is also inspired by chronographs from the 1920s and 1930s originally conceived for military use. The next in lineup is the Montblanc’s 1858 Oxygen Capsule Collection which draws inspiration from the enigmatic green icebergs of the Southern Ocean, showcasing nature’s mysteries through meticulously crafted timepieces.
The show stealer is Montblanc’s Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum Around The World In 80 Days Limited Edition. It pays homage to Jules Verne’s iconic novel, Around the World in 80 Days, capturing the essence of adventure and intrigue in a timeless timepiece. The brand had previously translated the same magic and thrill in a special writing instrument collection too.
Montblanc’s Star Legacy Capsule Collection commemorates Jacques Balmat’s historic ascent of Mont Blanc, symbolizing courage and ambition. The ascent, instigated by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure, who offered a reward for its accomplishment, conventionally signifies the commencement of contemporary mountaineering.
Following the launch of the Montblanc Unveiled Timekeeper in 2023, the Maison is introducing a new limited edition, Montblanc 1858 The Unveiled Timekeeper Minerva Limited Edition in distressed steel with a grey aesthetic.
The new 1858 Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph features a limited edition design with five apertures on the case band, allowing light to illuminate the hand-finished manual movement. The architectural approach creates a captivating interplay of light and depth, showcasing the 291 components through five crystal windows.
Continuing its exploration of limits, Montblanc presents the Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810. Expanding the Iced Sea Automatic Date collection, Montblanc introduces bronze-tone and burgundy-tone models. Inspired by glacial ice, these timepieces captivate with their distinctive dials, offering a blend of elegance and rugged charm.
