FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MONTBLANC 1858 COLLECTION
Uncover answers to some of Montblanc’s common questions, including where the prestigious brand first started and the reasons why Montblanc 1858 watches are so popular in the horological industry.
When did Montblanc start making watches?
Montblanc’s watchmaking story began in 1858, when Charles-Yvan Robert founded his workshop in Villeret, in the Swiss Jura Mountains. Little did he know that this was the start of the historic Minerva era.
By the 1880s, Montblanc had built a solid reputation for innovation, with watches that wound at the crown, rather than with traditional winding keys. The brand’s next step was to craft professional pocket watches and stopwatches, before pioneering one of the first manually-wound monopusher chronographs ever developed for wristwatches, in the early 20th century.
As time went on, Montblanc refined its watchmaking capabilities and grew to become the brand we know today – one of the world’s leading forces in precision chronometry for professionals.
