Renowned for its luxury writing instruments, Montblanc expanded into fine watchmaking in 1997, establishing its watchmaking headquarters in Switzerland. Montblanc introduced its first timepieces under the Montblanc Meisterstück Collection, echoing the legacy of its iconic pens. A pivotal moment came in 2007 when Montblanc acquired the esteemed Minerva manufacture, a historic Swiss movement maker established in 1858, leading to the creation of high-complication watches, including chronographs and tourbillons. Blending contemporary design with heritage, Montblanc’s collections, such as the Star Legacy, 1858, and Geosphere, pay homage to both classic aesthetics and adventurous spirit. Its current best-selling line is the Iced Sea, which also features the brand’s proprietary 0 Oxygen technology.
