THE MONTBLANC 1858 COLLECTION AND THE INTRODUCTION OF BRONZE

The Montblanc 1858 Collection can be seen as the vintage offer of the brand and a faithful tribute to the rich past of Minerva, the haute-horlogerie manufacture that Montblanc acquired a few years ago. During the 1930s and 1940s, Minerva was specialized in military and pilots’ chronographs, such as the one you can see below. The Montblanc 1858 Collection relies on historical design codes taken from the original 1930s Minerva chronograph, including large cathedral hands, with their cloisonné design filled with beige luminous paint, luminescent Arabic numerals, vintage shaped crowns and classic minute railway tracks that encircle the dials. Furthermore, this collection shows the return of Montblanc’s historical font and emblem (the Mont Blanc Mountain). Montblanc will only be producing 50 pieces of this very limited edition.
