FEATURES

• WATCHMAKING CODES

  The story begins in 1821 at the Champs-de-Mars racetrack in Paris, where inventor Nicolas Rieussec debuted a timekeeper built to precisely mark each racehorse’s finish. This pioneering spirit lives on in the timepiece, through design details that pay tribute to Nicolas Rieussec's invention, the world first inking chronograph.

• EMBLEM

  In 1913 the Montblanc emblem was created, representing a bird’s eye view of the Mont Blanc Mountain with its six glacier valleys. Here, it is elegantly reinvented on the hands, dial, and crown.

• SFUMATO EFFECT

  The characteristic Montblanc sfumato effect can be seen on the timepiece’s strap and the outside of the dial, creating both a sense of depth and a natural diffusion of light and shadow.

• MONTBLANC DNA

  Designed under the vision of Montblanc’s Artistic Director, Marco Tomasetta, the calf leather strap evokes the contours of a fountain pen nib – an homage to the Maison’s signature writing instruments.
