The 158-year-old Montblanc Manufacture (that you probably recognize more easily when I call it by its former name,?Minerva) in Villeret, Switzerland, is where the brands halo products come from, and you can always look forward to their cutting-edge work. The Montblanc TimeWalker Pythagore Ultra-Light Concept watch released toda [...]

Heres a welcome surprise?with the beautiful commemorative Montblanc Collection Villeret Tourbillon Bi-Cylidrique 110 Years Anniversary Limited Edition. The limited edition tourbillon watch?pays tribute to more than a hundred?year [...]

When it comes to dress watches,?the phrase less is more holds great significance. Sure, there may be some disagreement as to the exact complications one would like to have in a dress watch, but I do find the addition of a seconds hand and date display to be rather helpful. The seconds hand lets you know the watch is still running (useful for mechanical watches), and the date d [...]

At SIHH 2016, Montblanc introduced its new 1858 collection of watches which not only have a new logo (separate from other Montblanc products) but also contain two limited models known as the Montblanc 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition pieces that come in either steel or red gold, each in a set of 100 pieces. I found this collection interesting and am ha [...]

Weve been waiting to get our hands on?the Montblanc?Heritage Chronome?trie Chronograph Quantie?me Annuel watch since we first heard about it. For those not caught up about this piece, Montblanc is offering a quality, good-looking, high-complication watch for a fraction of the price that other annual calendar watches go for. [...]

Watches released in celebration of an anniversary provide an excellent excuse to turn our minds to the past and gratuitously borrow?design cues from a brands history. How close to the original the reinterpretation ends up being?varies from brand to brand, and model to model. In the case of the Montblanc 1858 Collection, the Swiss brand producing fine watches out of Le Locle for ge [...]

You can tell by the title that this watch has a lot going for it. The?Montblanc Heritage Spirit Perpetual Calendar Skeleton Sapphire Dial watch is an aesthetic?tour de force, but is it all that it appears to be at first glance? It has the name, the look, the complication-clout, but does it tickle the pur [...]

I really do love watches with personality. Its personality and story which really get us excited about watches. The latter is probably more difficult to accomplish than the former because making an interesting looking watch is often harder [...]

The Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Quantieme Complet does exactly what it says on the cover, and the clue to this one is the last part of the name quantieme complet. This phrase indicates a complete calendar, and for Montblanc, that takes the form of a four-part calendar. Back to basics with this one-as far as traditional d [...]

One of the most remarkable announcements we received prior to the SIHH 2015 watch trade show was the upcoming release of Montblancs e-Strap (debut article here), a smart wearable device option that would be first available on the upcoming Montblanc Timewalker Urban Speed watch. Precious little was known about how the e-Strap would behave in real life and the a [...]

With watches like the new Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Geospheres Vasco da Gama and the Chronometrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph, Montblanc has gone all out for SIHH this year. While those are the sorts of dream-like pieces that make SIHH great, they only represent one part of the complex market in which Montblanc figh [...]

While most press attention at SIHH is grabbed by the flashiest, largest, and most complicated pieces, some of the more simple pieces are going entirely unnoticed. And thats a shame. In a market full of massive grand complications, minute repeaters, tourbillons, equation-of-times, and the like, it is refreshing to see the exact opposite being given the same [...]

Montblanc is now one of the most exciting brands under Richemonts wide umbrella-thanks in no small part to Jerome Lamberts leadership, the man who played a key role in making?Jaeger-LeCoultre the powerhouse that it is today. And with SIHH 2015 just weeks away, the company has just released details of its latest watch, [...]

Prior to the Geneva watch trade show SIHH 2015, watch and luxury goods maker Montblanc has announced it is stepping into the smartwatch market-well, at least the smart wearables market. The upcoming Montblanc Timewalker Urban Speed collection of timepieces will have an optional strap called the e-Strap (p [...]

From time to time, when I return to the Montblanc Timewalker in an article, I mentally go back to when first I learned about this watch collection years ago. That was back in 2004, when Montblanc initially debuted the collection. That means that 2014 is the 10th anniversary of their modern yet classic looking Timewalker watch collection. Wh [...]

The newest Nicolas Rieussec watch by Montblanc for 2014 is actually a limited edition, versus a permanent part of the larger Nicolas Rieussec collection. Montblanc originally released the avant garde-looking Nicolas Rieussec collection of watches several years ago not only as a celebration of the chronograph (time wr [...]

746 components inside a 52 millimeter wide, perfectly round case in red gold: this is the Montblanc Metamorphosis II in one sentence. As the name and those whopping figures suggest, there is a lot more going on, however-especially since we are talking about not one, but two watches here-so let us give [...]

I have high hopes for the Montblanc Meisterstuck Heritage collection of watches that came out this year at SIHH 2014. Weve discussed it before, and today wed like to look at the elegant looking Montblanc Meisterstuck Heritage Moonphase watch model. This simple timepiece has the time, lacks a seconds indicator, and [...]
