Timepieces for the sophisticated traveler

Strong, sporty and elegant – these are the three characteristics a sophisticated modern traveler looks for in a watch that but only a few, if any at all, brands are able to provide. Marking its 110th anniversary, German brand Montblanc  introduces new timepieces in its 4810 collection. 

Built on this best-selling line that was first presented in 2006 for the Maison’s centennial celebrations, the new 4810 collection respects all the codes of Montblanc’s watchmaking. The brand presented five new watches under the 4810 range and and a limited edition piece from the TimeWalker collection during the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2016.

Montblanc 4810 ExoTourbillon Slim

The new Montblanc ExoTourbillon Slim Collection combines the Maison’s patented ExoTourbillon complication with the addition of a quick stop-second function. It is fitted with a black alligator strap to accentuate the warmth of the red gold case and red gold details on the dial.

Montblanc 4810 ExoTourbillon Slim 110 Years Special Editions for Europe, North America and Asia

The theme of travel across the Atlantic is beautifully highlighted in three Montblanc ExoTourbillon Slim Limited Editions for Europe, North America and Asia, as each version features a miniature hand-painting of the respective continent on the dial. Each of the 110 piece is totally unique as no individual hand-painted map can ever be exactly the same as another. The lower section of the dial has been decorated with the Côtes de Genève motif to highlight the ExoTourbillon construction at six o’clock, and a single rhodium plated XII and rhodium plated skeletonized hands maximize the view of the map. 

These limited editions feature the Calibre MB 29.24 – powered for the first time by a micro-rotor decorated with a Côtes de Genève en Eventail.

Montblanc 4810 TwinFly Chronograph 110 Years Edition

This flyback chronograph allows the wearer to time one event, and  then stop, reset and restart the chronograph with just one press on the pusher at four o’clock – exhibiting the highly functional manufacturing complications known to Montblanc’s horological offerings. 

This TwinFly function not only restarts the central chronograph seconds hand (in blue), but also the central minutes chronograph hand (in red gold), sending both hands back to zero and instantly restarting them for a new time measurement. Another pusher at two o’clock starts and stops the chronograph, while the pusher at four o’clock also returns the chronograph to 0 when it has previously been stopped.

Montblanc Collection Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique Pocket Watch and Navigator
110 Years Edition 

The one-of-a-kind Montblanc Collection Villeret Tourbillon Pocket Watch & Navigator 110 Years Edition, developed in collaboration with Erwin Sattler, combines a nautical clock with a pocket watch that can be placed in a dedicated compartment for display and safekeeping when not in use. 

Weighing an impressive 120 kg, the navigator is designed to stand firm whether it is placed on the motionless floor of a library or on the pitching and rolling planks of the ship. The nautical precision clock keeps its balance with a cardanic suspension system that sits inside a nickel-plated brass cage. Even when the ship rolls to one side, the clock remains perfectly horizontal and runs precisely, thanks to a case mounted with eight ball bearings, indicating the ship’s heeling with a downward pointing arrow on a scale from 0 to 27 degrees, the perfect symbiosis of aesthetic form and nautical function. 

Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum

Following the success of the launch of the Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum in 2015, Montblanc presents its version under the 4810 collection. 

Named after the Latin Orbis Terrarum, which translates to “globe,” “earth” and “world,” this timepiece tells the time in 24 timezones in an intelligent and intuitive way, thanks to a manufacturing complication developed in-house by Montblanc’s master watchmakers. The dial is constructed of multiple layers, starting with the main sapphire crystal disc that displays the continents as viewed from the North Pole and the names of the 24 cities representing the different timezones. This disc also includes the 24-hour ring that indicates the different times in the 24 cities.

Montblanc TimeWalker Exotourbillon Minute ChRonograph Limited Edition 100

This timepiece under the TimeWalker collection boasts of being the first equipped with Maison’s exclusive in-house patented ExoTourbillon. The combination of high performance, daring and imposing aesthetics, plus the mix of lightweight yet highly resistant materials reinforces the spirit of performance of the TimeWalker from case to movement. 

The design and the functionality of the model is further highlighted by the use of high-tech materials such as titanium, carbon fiber and diamond-like carbon, which make the timepieces extremely lightweight and robust.
