Watches and Wonders 2024: Montblanc Highlights
For a brand that’s probably still better known for its pens than its timepieces, you certainly couldn’t fault Montblanc for not trying, as it pulled out the stops at Watches and Wonders with a giddy profusion of novelties.
For example, there’s the Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810, a blue-dial diver featuring oxygen-free technology in a 43mm titanium case, whose 4,810-metre depth rating – that’s 4.81km, by the way – perfectly matches the height for which the brand is named and “connect[s] the world of the ocean to the mountain, which has always formed part of the maison’s DNA”, or so says the blurb.

You could also be tempted by the Iced Sea Date Bronze or Burgundy, a pair of 41mm divers in said colours (case for the first, dial the second) with far less aggressive depth ratings, or perhaps the latest 1858 Unveiled Minerva Monopusher Chronograph, whose skeletonised dial reveals even more of the watch’s inner workings than previous iterations of the timepiece. It features the hand-wound MB 17.26 calibre, based on technology Montblanc inherited from Minerva, which can be seen not only through the watch’s front and back, but also via apertures in its side.
As well as venturing up to loftiest heights and plunging to the deepest depths, Montblanc also offers a voyage across the globe in the form of the Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum Around the World in 80 Days Limited Edition (and try remembering that name when you walk into your friendly authorised dealer). This 43mm watch in stainless steel is fitted with an in-house complication that simultaneously tells the time in 24 zones around the planet. Just in case you needed to know.
