The Spirit of Meisterstück An icon beyond writing culture Ninety years ago, Montblanc created a writing instrument that was to become one of the world’s best known icons of luxury: the Montblanc Meisterstück. Its timeless, functional design, innovative ink supply and hand-profiled gold nib made this fountain pen the legendary writing instrument of our time. Ever since 1924, the Meisterstück has presented flawlessness, the quest for perfection and masterly craftsmanship – in short, the sophistication that pervades all Montblanc Manufactures and products. It is this quality that also determines the high standards that Montblanc embraces. In the Montblanc Manufactures at Villeret and Le Locle in the Swiss Jura, the company develops and produces the finest timepieces and most innovative calibers that the highest level of Swiss traditional watchmaking art can achieve.

The Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Collection draws its inspiration from the spirit of the Meisterstück. With design, sophisticated complications and sumptuous decoration, these elegant timepieces embody this spirit of the Montblanc Meisterstück and pay tribute to the codes of traditional Swiss fine watchmaking in every detail, aiming to make each timepiece a lifelong companion for its owner. The marriage of tradition and innovation is particularly characteristic of the latest timepieces from Montblanc. Thus, with the ExoTourbillon Rattrapante from the Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858, Montblanc presents a timepiece that is unique in the world of haute horlogerie. As a world premiere, it combines Montblanc’s first patented ExoTourbillon – whose large balance-wheel oscillates outside the tourbillon cage – with a split-seconds chronograph. Respect for the chronograph tradition at the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle is expressed in the new Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Collection, “Homage to Nicolas Rieussec”, which also honors the inventor of the world’s first patented chronograph. The TimeWalker Chronograph 100 brings together the dynamic TimeWalker design with innovative materials and a patented and very special complication. The Manufacture Caliber , made in the Manufacture in Villeret and finished by hand, is capable of measuring time to an accuracy of a hundredth of a second.

Manufacture in Villeret and finished by hand.
The Montblanc Manufactures in Villeret and Le Locle Montblanc watches embody the tradition and knowledge of 156 years of uninterrupted Swiss watchmaking heritage. These precious timepieces, including their in-house calibers, are conceived and crafted in the Montblanc Manufactures in Villeret and Le Locle. The history of the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret goes back to 1858, when it was founded under the name of Minerva. The Manufacture rapidly built a reputation as a maker of sophisticated chronograph mechanisms and developed avant-garde concepts in watchmaking. For example, Minerva produced one of the fi rst chronograph calibers for wristwatches, and in 1936 developed a mechanical stopwatch capable of measuring time to the nearest hundredth of a second. To this day, the timepieces of the Villeret 1858 Collection are made by hand in the traditional way. Montblanc’s Manufacture in Villeret has accordingly taken up the cause of preserving traditional Swiss watchmaking art while further enriching it with groundbreaking innovations.

Meanwhile, at the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle, this philosophy provides the drive to enhance the tradition of Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship with the most modern technologies. The result can be seen in the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Collection, for which Montblanc has transferred the concept of the first chronograph, patented by Nicolas Rieussec, to innovative Manufacture calibers, giving a distinctive new face to the chronograph. This is a perfect example of Montblanc’s approach to watchmaking, which encompasses the entire process of creating a timepiece, from conception and development to manufacturing and absolute quality testing.
The Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle.
The Highest Level of Accuracy Only a handful of Manufactures around the world possess the capability and know-how to produce the balance-springs of mechanical timepieces. The Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret is among this select group. The master watchmakers themselves make the balance-springs in their entirety, measuring their length, not by electronic means, but by hand – in accordance with tradition and with the utmost accuracy. This quest for perfection also fi nds expression in the sophisticated fi nishing operations with which the watchmakers of the Manufacture in Villeret enhance the appearance of each individual component of the movement. Edges are chamfered by hand, plates are artistically ornamented with Côtes de Genève stripes and wheels are given a high polish. The watchmakers use traditional materials such as Grand-Feu enamel for the dials, for which they rely on techniques that impressively reveal their expert craftsmanship.

In addition to their love of detail, the watchmakers at both Manufactures are motivated by the challenge of developing new and exceptional complications. The quest for innovation leads to mechanical solutions unprecedented in the world of fine watchmaking, such as the ExoTourbillon, for which Montblanc’s watchmakers separated the tourbillon cage from the balance-wheel, creating the first tourbillon with a cage smaller than its balance-wheel.
A balance determines the accuracy of a watch’s rate. Balances are propelled by slender hairsprings, which are still traditionally handmade at the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret.

Passion from Switzerland The master watchmakers at Montblanc’s Manufacture are committed to preserving traditional Swiss watchmaking at the very highest level, creating innovative timepieces of the utmost precision, perfection and durability. With timeless aesthetics and intricate mechanical movements crafted entirely in-house, the watches produced in the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret still express the core values upon which it was founded in 1858. The elevated art of Montblanc’s watchmaking has at its core intrinsically human qualities embodied by the artisans behind every timepiece – qualities such as creativity, a passion for the art of traditional watchmaking combined with constant innovation, and a reverence for the value of time. It is these core values characteristic of Montblanc – in association with the watchmakers’ knowledge that is handed down from generation to generation – that come to the fore in the exquisite watches expressing remarkable individuality and craftsmanship.
Montblanc watches are patiently and meticulously elaborated by horologists highly skilled in the art of watchmaking.

The Montblanc 500-Hours Test As part of their craft, watchmakers assemble hundreds of individual components, a task requiring a sharp eye, a steady hand and a saint’s patience. The completed watches begin a life fraught with wear and tear: they labor tirelessly, day and night, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. The movement of a 4-hertz watch completes 28,800 vibrations per hour. Prior to its scheduled servicing in three to five years’ time, a watch’s balance will perform approximately one billion vibrations that need to be orchestrated by delicate parts such as hairsprings, balance bearings and pallet forks. Before a timepiece with a Manufacture caliber leaves the Manufacture in Le Locle, it is subjected to a comprehensive test program developed by Montblanc. For 500 hours, the running of the watches is examined in the utmost detail in a test laboratory. During this three-week period, different series of tests subject the watches to conditions that they will undergo over the course of a year. In this way, Montblanc ensures and certifies that the finished timepieces meet the company’s stringent quality standards.
Only after the quality-assurance team at Montblanc Montre S.A. in Le Locle is convinced that a watch upholds Montblanc’s strict quality standards do they release it for subsequent delivery. Each watch that passes the 500-hours test is individually issued a test certificate.

Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Collection The Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Collection embodies the codes of Swiss fine watchmaking in every detail. The new collection is inspired by the spirit of the Montblanc Meisterstück, emblematic of masterly craftsmanship, timeless design, perfect functionality and utmost sophistication. This collection exemplifies the traditional characteristics of Swiss fine watchmaking. The time is shown by faceted hands of classic dauphine shape on silvery white bombé dials artistically finished with a soleil decoration. The chapter ring comprises polished triple-facetted applique indexes of three different lengths. The surface finishes, like the horizontal satin-brushing of the case-middle, are differentiated, so as to underline the classical shape of the elegant case, which is 39 mm or 41 mm in diameter. The crown displays the Montblanc emblem as a polished motif in relief against a matte, micro-blasted background. The Meisterstück Heritage Collection incorporates these lavish characteristics in all models, from the classic three-handed watch with date or elegant moon-phase watch to the remarkable complications of a perpetual calendar or monopusher chronograph.
In 1924, Montblanc created a writing instrument that was to become an icon beyond the writing world: the Montblanc Meisterstück.

Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Pulsograph Limited Edition In 1923, the Minerva Manufacture, which preceded the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret, created one of the first chronograph calibers for wristwatches, thus paving the way for the success of mechanical wristwatch chronographs. These precision instruments for measuring short times became important professionals tools for their time. The most elaborated were equipped with a pulsometer scale, especially favored by doctors and enabling them to precisely measure their patient’s pulse. The pulsometer scale of the Montblanc Heritage Pulsograph is graduated up to 30 pulse beats and is shown on the outer edge of the dial. The central chronograph seconds hand follows this scale and – like the arrow-shaped hand of the 30-minute counter – is made of blued steel. The hours and minutes hands, the hand on the smallseconds display and the applique hour markers are red gold-plated and designed to harmonize with the elegant 18 K red gold case, which is 41 mm in diameter. The Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Pulsograph, a limited edition of 90 watches, is powered by the Montblanc Manufacture Caliber . This impressive, hand-finished movement, marked with the traditional Minerva arrow, can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back.
Though its diameter is merely 29.5 mm (13 lines), chronograph Caliber
contains all the attributes of classic chronograph
mechanisms and traditional Manufacture craftsmanship, like the column-wheel control and horizontal-wheel coupling.

Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Perpetual Calendar The grande complication of the perpetual calendar represents an immense mechanical challenge and an expression of the highest watchmaking skill. The perpetual calendar always displays the correct date without needing to be corrected by hand, including for months with less than 31 days and for leap years. This is achieved by a sophisticated mechanism involving a multitude of different levers and cams of complex form that enable the lengths of months and leap years to be recognized mechanically. The elegant 39 mm red gold
The displays of the Heritage Perpetual Calendar are harmoniously arranged on the dial: the date at 3 o’clock, the day at 9 o’clock and the month at 12 o’clock. On the inner scale of the month display, the leap year cycle is indicated by a blue triangle, with the leap year shown by a red 4. A window at 6 o’clock shows the moon phase and the age of the moon in days at the upper edge. The slim blued hands of the calendar displays stand out elegantly against the silvery white bombé dial with soleil finish. Gilded hours and minutes hands harmonize with the 18 K red gold case and the pin buckle of the black alligator-skin strap. A sapphire crystal case back reveals a view of the automatic Montblanc Caliber .

Bohème Collection The new Bohème Collection is the feminine expression of Montblanc’s passion for fine watchmaking in an elegant, functional timepiece with a high complication, for the contemporary Bohème lady wanting to express her femininity in the true Bohème spirit. Designed for the confident woman, the Bohème Collection combines distinctive style and feminine elegance. Traditional codes of fine watchmaking have been carefully interpreted with this collection to create a true expression of femininity. The floral Arabic numerals, the minute scale with precious discrete “file sauté” and the sophisticated guilloché dials with integrated date window convey fine watchmaking with utmost refinement in every detail. The round yet sophisticated 30 mm or 36 mm cases featuring delicately curved beveled horns underline a classic, elegant appeal. The high-quality automatic movements can be admired through sapphire crystal case backs. The new Bohème Collection is available with red gold and steel cases, with a fully diamond-paved center or a silver-colored guilloché dial with 90 facets.

A Grande Complication with Timeless Feminine Charm With the Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewelry, the contemporary Bohème lady elevates the expression of her femininity to the pinnacle of Swiss fine watchmaking beauty. The indications of the perpetual calendar are harmoniously spread out on the highly sophisticated silver guilloché dial with 60 facets: month and leap year cycle, date, moon phases and day of the week. If kept sufficiently wound, the complex movement will require no manual adjustments until the year 2100. However, should correction be necessary in the event that the timepiece has not been worn for a long period of time, tiny correctors hidden inside the watch allow for fast and easy adjustment. Each Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewelry timepiece undergoes 500 hours of rigorous tests at the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle. It is rare for a grande complication to express fine watchmaking in such a feminine way, as is the case with the Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewelry. The bezel of the 36 mm 18 K red gold case is set with 60 sparkling diamonds and the winding crown is adorned with a uniquely shaped Montblanc Diamond in the form of the Montblanc emblem. Its automatic Caliber can be admired through the sapphire crystal glass in the case back. The Bohème Perpetual Calendar
With the Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewelry combining the highest expression of haute horlogerie with elegant femininity, a new era of feminine expression in fine watchmaking has begun.
Jewelry combines 18 K red gold with 60 sparkling diamonds, for a watch with the bewitching allure of fine jewelry.

Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Collection
52 / 53
One Second in the Summer of 1821 Thanks to Nicolas Rieussec, the watch industry was able to overcome a new mechanical challenge: creating a timepiece that would for the first time precisely measure elapsed time intervals. Nicolas Rieussec first applied his invention at a horse race in Paris in 1821. The functional principle was the combination of a timepiece and a writing instrument. Nicolas Rieussec affixed a pair of indexes, each culminating in an ink-filled nib, above two rotating discs. When its designated button was pressed, the nib briefly touched the rotating disc, where it left a plainly visible mark. This made it possible for Nicolas Rieussec to time the performance of each racehorse to the nearest quarter of a second. The principle of time measurement was permanently transformed by Nicolas Rieussec’s invention, which he aptly named “chronograph” from the Greek “chronos” (“time”) and “graphein” (“to write”). The first patent for the manufacture of a chronograph was granted to Nicolas Rieussec in 1822, yet this was only the beginning of a process of experimentation and development that continues to this very day. In 1825, the ingenious watchmaker unveiled an improved and more readily portable chronograph that indicated the hours, minutes and seconds and could even show a fifth of a second. By 1845, Nicolas Rieussec had developed a chronograph in the now-familiar circular form of a stopwatch.
All Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec calibers are manufactured in the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle and rely on the principle of measuring the duration of brief intervals via rotating discs and motionless hands.
54 / 55
Homage to Nicolas Rieussec Collection The design of the new Limited Edition “Homage to Nicolas Rieussec” is inspired by the original Nicolas Rieussec chronograph from 1821. The design features characteristic elements of Nicolas Rieussec’s historical Timewriter, such as the numerals on the hour ring and chronograph counters. With the Manufacture Caliber of the “Homage to Nicolas Rieussec” Limited Edition, the watchmakers of Le Locle have created a complicated movement based on Rieussec’s concept, lending the watch an unmistakable appearance: the hour and minute displays are positioned off-center, the numerals of the chronograph counter are carried on rotating discs and the elapsed time is shown by a fixed hand. Montblanc’s watchmakers have used a new combination of materials on the dial: Super-LumiNova pigments – invisible in the daytime – are inlaid all around the chapter ring, which is crafted from hybrid ceramic. As darkness falls, these numerals become visible, lending the watch the characteristic style of the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Collection. Luminescent hands make the time clearly legible. A version in 18 K red gold has been produced in a limited edition of 193 watches, while a variation in stainless steel is limited to 565 watches.
The white of the chronograph counters is a direct reference to the enamel dials of Nicolas Rieussec’s original chronograph.
56 / 57
Nicolas Rieussec Collection and the Manufacture Caliber Combining traditional watchmaker’s craftsmanship and modern engineering artistry, the automatic mechanical Manufacture Caliber ticks unseen beneath the innovative dial. A laboriously milled column-wheel controls the monopusher chronograph; the connection between the gear-train and chronograph’s wheels is alternately engaged and disengaged by a vertical coupling, which functions nearly without wear and prevents the elapsed-time hands from jumping when the chronograph is switched on. The double barrel stores enough power for 72 hours of continuous running. The movement’s appeal derives not only from its outstanding mechanical performance, but also from its horological aesthetic. The components are decorated with Côtes de Genève stripes and feature beveled, polished edges. Bright red jewels, blued screws and shiny golden brass wheels complete the handsome ensemble, which can be admired by peering through the transparent pane of sapphire crystal in the back of the case.
319 components are elaborately crafted in the Montblanc Manufacture.

Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Automatic The chronographs in Montblanc’s Nicolas Rieussec Collection not only bear the name of this legendary watchmaker, they also carry his creative spirit into the contemporary era. The automatic chronograph in the Nicolas Rieussec Collection, featuring a completely black dial adorned with fine grain d’orge guilloché, is a tribute to the inventor of the chronograph. Its innovative minutes display, along with the contemporary design of its rotating discs for elapsed seconds and minutes, creates purity and clarity that continue into luminous hands for the primary time zone and a skeletonized hand for the hours in the second time zone. The characteristic face of Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec chronographs:
All measurements performed by Montblanc’s automatic Manufacture Caliber are clearly legible, even under adverse light conditions. Equipped with a monopusher mechanism, a column-wheel and vertical disc coupling, this caliber also features several additional complications that complement its classical appearance. These include a day/night display for the second time zone and a rapid-reset mechanism for the hours hand so its wearer can speedily readjust the watch to show the correct local time and date. Even though horse race spectators nowadays no longer need chronographs of their own to measure times, speed still remains the heart of the Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Automatic.

Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours The revolutionary idea behind the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours is to stage the natural wonders of dawn and its evening counterpart, dusk. Depending on the time of day or night, the numerals on the hours disc change color from black for daytime hours to blue for the hours of the night, allowing the wearer to instantly assign each hour to the correct half of the day. The characteristic face of the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Collection has undergone further evolution in the Rising Hours model to display the hours on a rotating disc, to which an appealing complication has been added: a day/night indication in the hours display. This elaborate and patented mechanism consists of two rotating discs positioned one on top of the other. While the upper, 12-hour disc turns continually, the color change for the numerals is accomplished by the underlying disc, which rotates at variable speeds. The result of this “Rising Hours” mechanism is clearly seen twice a day: at six o’clock each morning, the pierced digit “6” appears light blue on the left and black on the right to symbolize that night is ending and day is dawning; at six o’clock each evening, black daytime hours on the left yield to pastel blue nighttime hours on the right. In addition to this double-disc mechanism, four other disc displays rotate in the Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours.
The highlight: the hours, in combination with a day/night indication, appear through the cut-out numerals of the hours disc.
68 / 69
Montblanc Manufacture Caliber The second special feature of the Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours is a veritable horological revolution. It is located behind the pierced Arabic numerals of the 12-hour disc, where a patented mechanism changes the color of the hour numerals depending on the time of day or night. While the 12-hour disc rotates continually, the underlying day/ night disc, which is half pastel blue and half black, is propelled during certain intervals and with varying speeds to produce the desired color change in the cut-out numerals. To achieve the complicated motion that provides the color change from day to night, the day/night disc is controlled by a Maltese-cross mechanism comprising two cam wheels. In a motion defined by their profiles, these wheels either turn idly past each other (the day/night disc thus remains motionless throughout these intervals) or intermesh. This engagement causes the day/night disc to turn at an increasingly faster pace at predetermined times until two teeth on either side engage in such a way that the day/night disc no longer accelerates but instead continues to turn synchronously with the 12-hour disc. Afterwards, the day/night disc decelerates again until the meshing is completely separated, at which point the day/night disc returns to a standstill. This patented “rising hours” mechanism emulates the changes from night to day and vice versa, respectively at dawn and dusk.

Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Open Home Time Rather than two buttons flanking the crown, this watch is equipped with a single push-piece at 8 o’clock: as a monopusher chronograph, it relies on a single button to sequentially trigger the start, stop and zero-return functions. Furthermore, this chronograph has no large elapsed-seconds hand at the center of its dial, but pays homage to the first Rieussec chronographs from 1821 with a pair of rotating counter discs, one of which counts the elapsed seconds in the lower part of the dial at 8 o’clock, while its counterpart tallies up to thirty elapsed minutes at 4 o’clock. The anthracite-colored dial of the Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Open Home Time shows the ordinary time on its off-center subdial. This subdial features circular apertures inside its hour-scale, behind which a partly skeletonized 12-hour disc rotates to show the hour in a second time zone. Here, too, the display relies on Rieussec’s principle of a rotating disc rather than a hand: a small red triangular index labeled “HOME TIME” points to the hour in the wearer’s home time zone, while the larger hours and minutes hands keep track of the time in whichever zone the watch’s owner is presently located. This complex interplay of three rotating discs is a technical solution that gives the watch an unmistakable aesthetic and uses the dial as an integral part of the movement.
Another aperture in the dial, positioned between the two chronograph discs, invites connoisseurs to admire the low-wear vertical coupling, the screw balance with its spirally coiled hairspring and the escape-wheel with its characteristically shaped teeth.

The round cases, black Arabic numerals and sumptuous finishes in the tradition of haute horlogerie, such as guilloché dials, endow these watches with a timeless beauty. The Montblanc Star Twin Moonphase depicts
The automatic Montblanc Caliber of the Star Twin Moonphase was constructed for a new type of complication that is used exclusively by Montblanc and which gives the watch its name: a moon-phase display that shows the moon’s phases in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and the age of the moon in days. The disc display in its aperture depicts the changes of the moon in the Northern Hemisphere. The moon phases of the Southern Hemisphere are shown on the outer edge of the display and are indicated by a slim steel hand. Central blued steel feuille hours and minutes hands and a slim seconds hand stand out against the silvery white dial with its fine guilloché work. A traditional date hand is positioned between 1 o’clock and 2 o’clock. The black alligator-skin strap with a triplefolding clasp forms an elegant contrast with the stainless steel case and its sapphire crystal case back.

Shifting hues of multi-colored opal, nacreous mother-of-pearl, lunar silver and a hint of cerulean turquoise: no two mother-ofpearl dials are identical, and each reflects incoming light in its own unique way. For centuries, the crafts of jewelry and watchmaking have complemented each other in the most beautiful manner. The most valuable mother-ofpearl is found in pearl oysters, abalones and freshwater mussels. How this precious material is created remains one of nature’s mysteries.

Star Quantième Complet Historians can only guess when human beings first began to devise calendars, but it is known that people were already subdividing time into regularly recurring intervals even before classical antiquity. For orientation, the ancients relied on recurrent phenomena such as the moon’s phases, with one lunation from full moon to full moon defining the duration of a month. The English word “calendar” is derived from the Latin “calendae”, which means “the first day of a month”. Nowadays, calendar functions number among the classical complications added to watches, and the depiction of all calendar information ranks among the great challenges in the art of watchmaking. The name given to Montblanc’s Star Quantième Complet refers to this special feature, as French-speaking watchmakers use the term “quantième” to denote the calendar function and the word “complet” to refer to a full mechanical calendar with displays for the date, day of the week, month and lunar phase. With its combination of classical Roman numerals and blued hands on its dial, the Montblanc Star Quantième Complet continually makes its own classically elegant impression from one phase of the moon to the next.
The panoramic workshops of the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle: a marriage of tradition and modernity.

Experts agree nowadays that the moon’s primary influence is tidal: at an average distance of 380,000 kilometers from the earth and with each lunation lasting 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes and 11.5 seconds, earth’s only natural satellite causes astonishing effects. Spring tides in the Gulf of Maine can attain a height of 21 metres and tidal currents such as the maelstrom can endanger small ships – two extreme examples of the power generated by gravi tational interactions between the Earth, the moon and the sun.

Star Classique In developing the Star Classique, the master watchmakers at the Manufacture in Le Locle distilled the essential functionality required from a watch – an hours hand, a minutes hand and a small-seconds hand – not for the sake of sacrifice, but to create perfect functionality in a highly slim, elegant form. Thanks to its slender and slightly convex shape, the Star Classique fits perfectly on its wearer’s wrist. Each detail is finely coordinated with every other: the case, hands and buckle in 18 K red gold, the alligator-skin strap, the minimalist dial with a fine guilloché Montblanc emblem in the subdial for the small seconds. The view through the sapphire crystal in the case back also perfectly matches the overall harmonious appearance. The automatic mechanical movement with its ball-bearing-mounted winding rotor and shimmering golden balance not only functions precisely, it also accentuates the elegance of the Star Classique from second to second.
Discreet elegance: the new Star Classique Automatic in its classically round, very slim and elegant gold case. The diameter is 39 millimeters; a narrow bezel contributes to the visual appeal; and the height of only 8.90 millimeters seems even slimmer thanks to the bold inward rounding on the middle part of the case.

Star 4810 Collection The Montblanc emblem stands for the Maison’s commitment to the highest quality. The famous emblem representing the six snow-covered glaciers on the summit of Europe’s highest mountain symbolizes expert craftsmanship and refinement, handcrafted with consummate attention to detail. The Montblanc Star 4810 Collection translates the emblem into finely crafted guilloché-embellished dials and thus carries the height of Mont Blanc’s 4,810 meters in its name. Available as either a chronograph or a classic three-handed timepiece, each model features a case in either stainless steel or red gold, housing an automatic movement that animates an hours hand, minutes hand and seconds hand. Linear, clearly cut luminescent Roman numerals assure excellent legibility and the beautifully decorated dials are available in a variety of colors. With one sapphire crystal above the face and a second crystal on the case back, each watch in this collection radiates an aura of subtle, timeless elegance.
Guilloché dial with big date at 6 o’clock.

4,810 Meters The second of triumph
Montblanc Star 4810 Collection Chronograph Automatic Movement: Automatic chronograph
At 6:23 p.m. on the evening of August 7, 1786, Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard became the first alpinists to reach the summit of Mont Blanc. In that second, they not only ended a 26-year race to be the first to ascend the peak, they also overcame an antiquated superstition: previous attempts to climb Mont Blanc had started from base camps pitched at lower altitudes because climbers feared that dragons and ghosts lurked beneath the glaciers.

Balmat and Paccard were the first mountaineers who dared to spend the night at 2,300 meters and set out towards the summit from their lofty aerie. The elevation of Mont Blanc’s peak –
4,810 meters – is immortalized in a meticulous engraving on the nib of each Montblanc Meisterstück writing instrument and is further commemorated by the Montblanc Star 4810 Collection.

Montblanc TimeWalker Collection The Montblanc TimeWalker Collection allies Swiss watchmaking art with dynamic design and advanced materials. Special surface treatments, functional complications and incisive formal language lend a characteristic face to time. The watches in the TimeWalker Collection appear remarkably lightweight – an effect that is created by the dynamic silhouette, narrow bezel and curved lines, for cases up to 43 mm in diameter. The skeletonized horns underpin the overall lightness of the design, which makes for optimal legibility with its large and planar dial and slim Arabic numerals. Functional complications and characteristic lance-shaped hands underline the technical and avant-garde appeal of the Montblanc TimeWalker Collection.
Skeletonized horns characterize the Montblanc TimeWalker Collection.

Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph 100 In 1916, the Minerva Manufacture, later to become the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret, took professional circles by storm with its first mechanical stopwatch accurate to a hundredth of a second. In its later incarnations, the timepiece was even augmented to include a central chronograph hand that could describe one complete 360-degree rotation per second. This same principle is used in the Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph 100 with the newly developed Manufacture Caliber . The TimeWalker Chronograph 100 incorporates the fusion of the purest watchmaking tradition, cutting-edge innovation and high performance. In a reference to the 1916 Minerva stopwatch, the push-piece of this manually wound monopusher chronograph is similarly positioned at 12 o’clock on the Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph 100. The transparent dial in sapphire crystal reveals a view of the hand-finished Manufacture Caliber . The case back, inset with a sapphire crystal glass, and the carbon-coated case middle are both made of titanium. The stainless steel bezel has an extremely resistant DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph 100 has been crafted in a limited edition of 100 watches.
In order to measure hundredths of a second, a mechanical movement needs a balance that completes 360,000 semi-oscillations per hour. A 50-hertz balance of this kind is fabricated in the workshops at the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret.
126 / 127
Montblanc Manufacture Caliber The Montblanc Manufacture Caliber is powered by two balances with different frequencies: a small, flat high-speed balance-wheel for the chronograph function with a frequency raised to 360,000 vibrations per hour (50 Hz) and a large, high-mass screw balance-wheel for the accurate operation of the going-train, oscillating at 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.50 Hz). This movement has two spring-barrels with a winding mechanism that allows both barrels to be wound by the same single crown. A hundredth-of-a-second chronograph running at 360,000 vibrations per hour needs special controls. The sophisticated chronograph function of the Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph 100 is made possible by a patented mechanism with a new type of column-wheel control and zero-reset mechanism for the central hundredths-of-asecond hand. Using meticulous manual processes, plates, bridges and steel components are made, finished and decorated with circular-graining and Côtes de Genève stripes. The edges are chamfered by hand. The chamfering is hand-polished and the sides drawn out. The balancesprings are individually numbered by eye according to traditional practice and the spring-setting of the chronograph is painstakingly performed by hand. For this purpose, all the rockers and levers must be ground to match each other to the nearest hundredth of a millimeter.
The engineers at the Montblanc Manufacture devised a patented mechanism with an innovative column-wheel control and a novel zero-return solution for the central hundredths-of-a-second hand or trotteuse.

Montblanc TimeWalker Extreme Chronograph DLC The masculine character of the TimeWalker code is particularly apparent in the TimeWalker Extreme Chronograph DLC. Against the black dial, luminescent anthracite-colored hours, minutes and chronograph hands stand out clearly. 12-hour and 30-minute counters and the smallseconds hand are let into the dial, with a date aperture to complete the display. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal provides a view of the automatic Caliber . The stainless steel case and the pin buckle of the high-performance leather strap are coated with black diamond-like carbon (DLC). This layer of new-generation hard material ensures the highest degree of wear-resistance and extreme hardness. The black wristband made of Montblanc “Extreme leather” makes an exceptionally technical, sporty and elegant impression. Its material combination and manufacturing process are highly complex, based on the know-how of the artisans of Montblanc’s Pelletteria – its Florence-based Manufacture for leather goods. The strap’s inlay is made of black Vulcarboné rubber, which gives the wristband extreme strength and flexibility. This innovative leather treatment produces a high-performance material with special shielding properties that provide the leather extra protection against abrasion, water and heat.

Montblanc TimeWalker TwinFly Chronograph GreyTech Immediateness is the characteristic feature of the 888 timepieces that comprise the limited edition of the TimeWalker TwinFly Chronograph GreyTech. With its perfect synthesis of innovative materials, advanced technology and functional design, this chronograph speaks a language that needs only one second to express its message: “Welcome to the 21st century!” The key to understanding this phrase is Montblanc’s Manufacture Caliber : the entire construction from the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle puts the elapsed-time function in the center of the dial and – thanks to its TwinFly function – it can simultaneously send the chronograph’s elapsed-minutes and elapsedseconds hands racing back to their starting positions at the push of a button. The Montblanc Manufacture caliber with a column-wheel and a vertical coupling excellently performs in the TimeWalker TwinFly Chronograph GreyTech. Dark grey rhodium-plated components inside the movement give the chronograph an unmistakable appearance that continues into its titanium case and dial. The micro-blasted buttons, the bezel, the crown and the annulus around the transparent case back all feel velvety soft. The satin-finished case with skeletonized horns shimmers unostentatiously and the second time zone at 12 o’clock prominently shows that the TimeWalker TwinFly Chronograph GreyTech was made for people who move with the times.
It takes exceptional powers of visual imagination to design the perfect watch. In the designer’s mind, the masterpiece is already complete, with every detail minutely considered and all the materials chosen.

Chronograph Caliber : A Montblanc Movement with Manufacture Quality The TimeWalker Twinfly Chronograph is driven by Montblanc’s state-of-the-art Manufacture Caliber . This newly developed automatic chronograph movement featuring innovative and contemporary new features has been taken one step further: it boasts a newly developed central flyback function on the minutes and seconds hands (TwinFly). As a special function, this automatic chronograph possesses a fast hour change without stopping the movement. Apart from the vertical disc clutch, the column-wheel control and the twin barrels supplying a three-day power reserve, this movement is characterized by a 24-hour second time zone indication with a day/night display at 12 o’clock and a date display. A modern and an extremely low-wear disc-coupling engages to transfer energy from the fourth-wheel to the chronograph-wheel. The large screw balance vibrates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations/hour (4 Hz) and a double-barrel ensures 72 hours of running autonomy. Further proof of Montblanc’s expertise in chronograph movements is the newly calculated profile for the teeth of the gear-wheels, which significantly improves the efficiency of the energy transmission. Due to its construction, the movement is easily able to cope with amplitude fluctuations when the chronograph function is started or stopped, and maintains a stable rate in all other modes. The Caliber is assembled, finely adjusted and encased at the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle.
The Montblanc Caliber
contains a
vertical disc clutch, which ensures virtually friction-free power transmission to the wheels of the chronograph.

Stop one, start the next! Pressing a button once causes the TwinFly function to instantly return both activated elapsed-time hands to zero. A new measurement begins immediately when the button is released. The complex mechanism of Montblanc’s Manufacture Caliber saves time by combining the three conventional steps of “stop”, “return to zero” and “start” into one by means of two hearts for the zero-reset function that lie on the same axis. If this quick change were viewed in slow motion, we could see its individual phases. The ordinary hours and minutes of the time display and the elapsed seconds and minutes all run along the caliber’s central staff.
Aircraft pilots particularly appreciate the ease with which intermediate times can be measured.

Montblanc TimeWalker ChronoVoyager UTC The acronym “UTC” stands for Universal Time Coordinated, which is synchronized with TAI (Temps Atomique International, i.e. International Atomic Time). In 1972, UTC replaced GMT, Greenwich Mean Time, which had defined the limits of the 24 time zones into which the world was divided at the Meridian Conference in Washington D.C. in 1884. The 43 mm-diameter stainless steel case with a narrow stainless steel or satin-fi nished titanium bezel leaves room for a simple and tidy dial, the design of which is entirely subordinated to its function. The broad flange around the dial bears the 24-hour scale for a freely selectable second time zone; light and dark zones on the scale enable it to serve as a day/night indicator as well. The red tip of an extra-long skeletonized hours hand sweeps along this scale to show the time in the currently selected second time zone. The smaller hours hand indicates the local time. The minutes hand and seconds hand are valid for both time zones. When the crown is withdrawn to its first extracted position, the hand for the second time zone can be reset in hourly increments. This intelligent mechanism is part of Caliber with automatic winding, a balance with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. The stainless steel case has a screwed back into which a pane of sapphire crystal is inserted.
A second time zone synchronized with Universal Time Coordinated makes the automatic TimeWalker ChronoVoyager UTC the perfect companion for all frequent travelers.

Montblanc TimeWalker World-Time Hemispheres The important things in life cannot always be kept in one time zone. To help its wearer keep tabs on time in a globalized workday, the TimeWalker World-Time Hemispheres simultaneously shows the different times in all 24 of the world’s time zones. The local time is shown by the hands, while the flange around the dial bears the names of 24 cities, each of which represents one of the 24 time zones into which our planet is divided. A 24-hour disc turns at the center of the dial to indicate the hours in the localities specified on the flange radially opposite the disc’s markings. While the time zones progress with the sun from east to west across the meridians of longitude, the Montblanc TimeWalker World-Time Hemispheres also brings the north-south axis into play, as it is available in Northern and Southern versions. These different perspectives naturally affect the time displays and require corresponding adaptations in the mechanical movements. Both models have immobile rings around their dials marked with 24 place names in the relevant hemispheres, but the 24-hour discs in the centers turn in opposite directions and are labeled clockwise or counterclockwise respectively.
The Northern Hemisphere model shows a map of the Earth as seen from the north with the North Pole at its center; the Southern Hemisphere variant puts the South Pole at the midpoint.

Bird’s-eye views from above the North and South Poles reveal drastic differences between the two hemispheres, which comprise the 510 million km2 of the Earth’s surface: a land hemisphere and a water hemisphere. Dry land covers nearly half the Northern Hemisphere, but oceans dominate in the south, covering 89 % of the surface. A similar distinction can also be found on our solar
system’s most Earth-like planet: the average altitude of the southern half of Mars is several kilometers lower than in the north.

Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858
162 / 163
Crafted by Hand and Tradition Haute horlogerie has a long and illustrious history in the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret, for it was here in 1858 that the foundation for 156 years of uninterrupted watchmaking tradition was laid in the very building that still houses the Manufacture today. The handmade masterpieces the Montblanc watchmakers create require a perfect command of watchmaking technique, a trained eye and an intuitive understanding of a watch’s soul – qualities that are instilled by a lifetime dedicated to the craft. Every handcrafted detail of the decorated timepieces in the Montblanc Collection Villeret is an example of the excellent craftsmanship distilled into each wristwatch that leaves the ateliers, making each watch a mechanical work of art.
Over the years, the Montblanc Manufacture has continued to uphold its values and preserve its working methods, and its watchmakers today belong
The large, high-inertia balance-wheel is made entirely in-house. Even the sensitive balance-spring needed to oscillate the balance-wheel is likewise manufactured and counted by hand in the Montblanc Manufacture, while the watch’s accuracy is further enhanced by manual finishing and adjustment of the escape-wheel, lever and pallet stones. Many of the parts that make up a Montblanc Manufacture caliber pass through the deft hands of the angleur, who meticulously shapes, chamfers and polishes each one of them to glossy perfection. The “double infinity” tourbillon bridge alone, for instance, requires up to a week of painstaking work until every surface is flawless.
to a select group of artisans who still practice the traditional techniques of haute horlogerie – the art of fine watchmaking – largely by hand.

Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 ExoTourbillon Rattrapante Combining Montblanc’s patented ExoTourbillon and a split-seconds chronograph, the ExoTourbillon Rattrapante constitutes a world premiere in haute horlogerie. In the upper part of the silver-grained dial in solid 18 K gold, the balance-wheel oscillates freely in full view, separate from the tourbillon carriage. Below it, the displays are harmoniously arranged on the regulator dial with Grand-Feu enamel rings. The off-center hours display also shows a second time zone with a day/ night indication. The case of the Monopusher Chronograph – a limited edition of 18 watches – is made from 18 K white gold. The sapphire crystal case back permits a view of the sumptuously hand-finished Montblanc Manufacture Caliber with its two column-wheels, the traditional Minerva arrow and the classic rattrapante clamps.
The three-dimensional regulator dial is made of gold, decorated with Grand-Feu enamel elements crafted in accordance with the tradition of ultra-fine watchmaking.

The Patented Montblanc ExoTourbillon The striving for perfection at the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret resulted in the development of an innovative tourbillon construction that brings significant advantages in terms of energy request and precision: the patented ExoTourbillon. It is the world’s first tourbillon with a rotating cage that is smaller than its balance, which oscillates outside the cage – hence the Greek prefix “exo” (outside) in the timepiece’s name. The balance of the Montblanc ExoTourbillon Rattrapante is isolated from the tourbillon’s rotating cage so that the cage’s rotation does not interfere with the balance’s oscillations. Thus the balance performs with greater precision because it isn’t disturbed by the inertia of the cage. The smaller rotating cage has less mass and is freed from the weight of the balance, so less energy is needed to power its rotary motion. Thanks to the ExoTourbillon’s patented energy-saving construction, a tourbillon can be wed to a cleverly designed split-seconds chronograph function. Despite its mechanical complexity, this split-seconds function can work with the same barrel and the same power reserve as those of the basic chronograph movement – and can do so with greater precision than would be possible in a chronograph without the ExoTourbillon’s construction. Painstaking handcraftsmanship, invested in each ExoTourbillon Rattrapante from the Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 and performed in accord with authentic Swiss watchmaking tradition, explains the limited number of 18 watches in the series of these grande complication timepieces.
The split-seconds column-wheel opens and closes the brake-clamps of the split-seconds wheel when the rattrapante button at 2 o’clock is pressed, allowing the user to read the duration of an intervening interval.

One Watch, Two Faces A watchmaker is at home, looking on as his son plays. Once again, the latter is absorbed in saving the world with his toy action robots, which can be turned into human-like figures, cars, airplanes and other objects at a whim. The father wonders why these versatile figures exude such a great fascination – which he, too, finds hard to escape. Gradually, as his son takes part in a rocket propulsion at full volume, the watchmaker’s thoughts begin to play their own game: constructing a watch that could change not only its design but also – like the robot – its function. The idea for developing the Metamorphosis is born. In accordance with Montblanc’s quest of always combining innovation with tradition, the Caliber is selected as the basis for a revolutionary concept watch. The modern, entirely newly developed caliber is completely produced at the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret.
Montblanc Metamorphosis: A watch with two faces and two functions. The first face of the Metamorphosis is that of a classical watch; the second face is that of a sporty monopusher chronograph.
172 / 173
Metamorphosis The name of this watch expresses what makes Montblanc’s Metamorphosis
unique. Changing external appearances is as commonplace in the watch industry as it is for a chameleon, but a genuine metamorphosis also implies an inner transformation. Absolutely unprecedented in haute horlogerie, Montblanc’s Metamorphosis is a wristwatch with two faces and two different functions. The first face of the Metamorphosis is the dial of a classic regulator watch with an off-center hours hand, a retrograde 270° minutes hand, a large seconds hand, and a date display at 6 o’clock. The second face is the dial of a sporty monopusher chronograph with a central elapsedseconds hand and a novel counter for 30 elapsed minutes at 6 o’clock. Between these two faces are 15 transitional seconds during which a patented mechanism creates a metamorphosis that uniquely unites the two faces. The dial opens entirely by mechanical means and the chronograph’s elapsed-minutes counter rises upwards. This spectacular movement is built with 728 individual components. All these 728 parts satisfy the exacting demands for quality, aesthetics and predominantly manual construction that distinguish the centuries-old Swiss horological tradition. Montblanc’s Metamorphosis has been crafted in a strictly limited series of 28 wristwatches at the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret.
A patented mechanism that performs the transformation in 15 seconds is enormously complex and involves about 50 individual components moving technically simultaneously.

Timewriter II Chronograph Bi-Fréquence 1000 This chronograph seems to defy the laws of physics. A frequency of 500 hertz was thought to be indispensable for a mechanical watch that can subdivide precious time into a thousandth of a second, but the master watchmakers at the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret devised a chronograph that achieves this feat with a balance oscillating at only 50 hertz. The master watchmakers’ inspiration for this mechanism was triggered by their childhood memory of playing with big wooden hoops, which they rolled along the street either by repeatedly pushing them with their hand or by striking them with a small stick. They soon realized that they could keep the hoop rolling in a uniform rotary motion if they continually gave it equally strong impulses at equally timed intervals. Decades later, this phenomenon would point them on the path toward an ingenious method for measuring a thousandth of a second. Instead of just one impulse propelling the seconds hand with the frequency needed to measure a hundredth of a second (50 hertz), an additional impulse is sent to an innovative wheel in the gear-train: the thousandths-wheel. Powered in this manner, it spins around its axis at an unchanging speed to measure a thousandth of a second. The chronograph function is controlled by a two-level column-wheel: one level guides the start, stop and zero-return functions; the other level controls the thousandths-wheel.
Whereas a frequency of 500 Hz is generally considered physically necessary to capture the thousandth of a second in a mechanical watch, this genuine chronograph accurately measures down to the 1/1,000th of a second with a frequency of only 50 Hz.

Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique An horological innovation that enriches haute horlogerie with numerous unprecedented features, the Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique is the first wristwatch with both a tourbillon escapement and a double cylindrical hairspring. As a renowned Manufacture specializing in chronographs and particularly in the production of hairsprings and balancewheels, the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret has always combined traditional Swiss craftsmanship and the quest for innovation. The watchmakers in Villeret miniaturized and transplanted the precisely beating escapement with a cylindrical hairspring – originally developed for marine chronometers in the 18th century – into a tourbillon.
Unlike the vast majority of contemporary balance-springs, a cylindrically shaped balance-spring doesn’t swing to and from in a single plane,
Unlike conventional hairsprings that coil and uncoil in a single plane, a cylindrical hairspring expands and contracts along a perpendicular axis. Instead of being wound as a spiral in a plane, with successive coils disposed at increasing distances from a common central point, it is wound along a common central axis, each individual coil the same size as – and disposed “on top” of – the preceding one. This construction eliminates the slight eccentricity of the center of gravity and allows the cylindrical spring to “breathe” with absolute concentricity and symmetry. The Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique contains not just one but two cylindrical balance-springs, which act in opposition to each other with a torque that remains constant, thus further optimizing the isochronism that ensures the precision of the watch’s movement. Embodying a technique never before attempted in a wristwatch, these innovative balance-springs are produced exclusively in-house at the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret.
but expands and contracts along a vertical axis as though its gyres were the threads around a bolt. The Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique ticks with two cylindrical balance-springs positioned concentrically one inside the other, each with its own diameter, but both with identical torque.

A Superlative Vintage Drawing its inspiration from numerous historical developments, the Collection Villeret 1858 celebrates a wealth of ideas from days gone by in combination with the development of contemporary chronographs that can measure more than mere time. The Vintage Tachydate features a gold dial with classical “grainé” decoration, which is produced in the style of the historic Minerva chronographs of the 20th century. On its tachymeter scale, speeds of between 30 and 1,000 km/h can be measured and distances can be determined by means of a telemeter scale. It is thus reminiscent of an era when speed acquired an entirely new dimension with the advent of the automobile and advances in aircraft design. The Vintage Tachydate with date display is limited to 58 watches and is available in white gold and red gold versions. With its Montblanc Manufacture Caliber , the Vintage Pulsograph harks back to the 1930s, when chronographs were used mainly by doctors to measure their patient’s pulse.

White or colored enamel, as hard as glass and resistant to oxidation and temperature variations, is deposited onto metal surfaces by melting or sintering. The techniques of enameling were already known in the Middle Ages and were used up to the 17th century for cases, as well as later for dials. Until the early decades of the 20th century, the art of enameling was much favored for its creative potential and the printing technique that was perfected for dials, on which the enamel powder is always applied to both sides of the metal substrate. Montblanc accepts only flawless quality, so that chronographs with enamel dials can become true collectors’ items.
