SIHH 2018
Three new Montblanc 1858 models .

MONTBLANC

EXPLORATION IS THE THEME FOR MANY MONTBLANC TIME-
PIECES in 2018 , and the newest members of Montblanc ’ s 1858 collection are built with this in mind . Find out more by turning to read our interview with Montblanc CEO Nicolas Baretzki within this issue for more details about how Montblanc has conquered the horological peaks at Villeret and Le Locle , the Swiss cities where Montblanc manufactures its watches .
On this page we ’ ve shown you the watches within the 1858 collection that attracted the most attention at SIHH 2018 . Other debuts , which we showed you in our SIHH preview issue , expand the Montblanc Time- Walker collection , most notably with a new in-house chronograph designed with a ‘ Panda ’ style dial . Montblanc also reinterprets the inaugural Star collection , which celebrates its 20-year anniversary in 2018 . The collection ’ s name is now Star Legacy and it features a more sophisticated look . And as part of an overall consolidation of all its watch collections ( from twelve to six ), Montblanc in 2018 adds its Rieussec line to the Star Legacy collection .
