Today, Montblanc unveiled six models in its new Heritage collection. While the four non-limited models are definitely interesting, I found the real stars of the show to be these two limited-edition models. These are the Montblanc Heritage Manufacture Perpetual Calendar and the Mont [...]

Having reviewed the Samsung Gear S3, the original Apple Watch and hands-on witnessed the first-and frankly ridiculous-Montblanc Summit I had a sneaking suspicion that this Montblanc Summit II would be the king of them all.

Five watches inspired by Minervas history are announced [...]

Theres a lot to love about a simple time-only watch that can hold its own in pretty much any situation. In fact, I find that every once in a while, I force myself to seek out pieces that might even push me out of my own horological safe space with an excessively stripped-down design.

Ill admit it, SIHH was never exactly the trade show Id religiously tune into as a watch enthusiast and not once did I feel any kind of remorse about my mental absence-work obligations aside, of course. This year, however, you cant deny that we saw the industry shift slightly as brands explored new price br [...]

Last year in 2017 when the relaunched Timewalker collection by Montblanc was debuted, I couldnt help but feel that while I appreciated the new watches, the particular piece for my tastes had yet to be released.

For those who still think of Montblanc as a pen company with no business in the world of haute horology, the brands tier of products made at their Minerva facility should change your mind and the Montblanc 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition 100 is a good example. Cased in bronze and with an unusual salmon colored dial, this is a vin [...]

Pre-WWII chronographs built by Minerva are among some of the most criminally underrated vintage watches of that particular era, so it should come as no surprise that with Montblancs purchase of the Villeret-based manufactory in 2004, wed see plenty of subsequent visits to the archives, as well as implementation in Montblancs modern offerings. This has [...]
