Montblanc

Montblanc is widely recognized as a prestigious manufacturer of luxury fountain pens. However, it has also established itself as a renowned watchmaker, known for crafting timepieces with complex mechanisms and in-house-built engines. The brand's history dates back to 1906 when it was founded, adopting its iconic snow-capped logo with six tongues, symbolizing the glaciers found on the famous mountain.

In 1997, Montblanc ventured into the watch industry, expanding its horological offerings while maintaining the aesthetics and sophistication synonymous with their pens. The TimeWalker Collection, launched to cater to a younger audience, exemplified the brand's seamless transition into watchmaking.

Notably, in 2006, Montblanc acquired Minerva, a renowned manufacturer of chronographs, which became a subsidiary of the brand. This integration allowed Montblanc to leverage Minerva's rich heritage and expertise in watchmaking, incorporating it into their timepiece designs.
