What distinctly stands the new line apart is its more casual, outdoorsy vibe, simplified perhaps to appeal more to millennials.
Mountains and their majesty are the very spirit of each Montblanc timepiece and writing instrument. This year, it is paying tribute to the very peaks that gave it its identity with an overhaul of a classic collection that honours the spirit of mountain climbing as well as the heroes that fearlessly try and conquer the highest, most treacherous ones in the world.
The new line of Montblanc 1858 is a tribute to true adventurers encompassing wristwatches as well as one limited edition pocketwatch. Its name pays tribute to the date of the foundation of the Minerva manufacture; Montblanc is founded in 1906.
What distinctly stands the new line apart is its more casual, outdoorsy vibe, simplified perhaps to appeal more to millennials. Some notable changes include degradation of dial shades, resized hands and a new style strap knowned as sfumato, which involves the repeat of the dial colour degradation on the strap, resulting in the edges of the leather looking darker than its centre.
Each are created with everything a true mountaineer will need for their next conquest, from power reserves and to international time.
