Each year Montblanc's presence at Watches and Wonders in Geneva celebrates our 165 years of watch making heritage. Our innovative spirit started with the classic Minerva pocket watches in 1858, a design that continues to inspire our approach to contemporary watchmaking.

Novelties in our 1858 and Star Legacy collections, including several limited editions, are on show at Watches and Wonders in an eye-catching booth inspired by the great glaciers of Swiss Alps. Featuring a swinging pendulum weighted by an oversized version of our classic fountain pen nib, the booth brings together the rich expertise of Montblanc complemented by artworks from Marie De La Ville Baugé.

Our Novelties

1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date

Alluding to the depths of a glacier with all its minerals captured in time for millennia, the new 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date comes with a grey glacier pattern dial inspired by the Mer de Glace. The glacial texture was achieved using an almost-forgotten ancestral technique called gratté-boisé. The 41mm timepiece comes with a stainless-steel interchangeable bracelet which can be quickly and easily switched for a black rubber strap with grey outline. It features a water resistance of 300m, Super-LumiNova® markings, and is adjustable on the wrist when wearing the watch for diving.

1858 Geosphere Chronograph 0 Oxygen The 8000 (Limited Edition – Boutique Exclusive)

This has several advantages for explorers by eliminating fogging and preventing oxidization, thus allowing the movement to last far longer with greater precision. Powered by Montblanc’s Manufacture Chronograph with Worldtime complication, Calibre MB 29.27, this automatic movement includes a date at 3 o’clock and two 3D turning globes with the Northern Hemisphere at 12 o’clock and the Southern Hemisphere at six o’clock. Both hemispheres feature orange reference meridians, 14 dots marking the 8000m peaks on the northern continents, and day & night indicators. The timepiece also comes fitted with a fluted bi-directional black ceramic bezel with cardinal points and a 3D coloured laser engraving on the case back displaying names and altitudes of the14 eight- thousanders. The dial and bezel luminescent indications are very practical for any outdoor adventures.
