Taking vintage inspiration to new heights, Montblanc's Minerva-inspired 1858 Split Second Chronograph deftly blends technical prowess and retro elegance. Inspired by the military chronographs of the 1920s and ‘30s made by Minerva (a legendary brand now owned by Montblanc), the monopusher chronograph features a distinctive dial in rich blue Grand Feu enamel with bright orange accents. It is equipped with a tachymeter scale for measuring speed and a telemeter scale to measure distance. The complex split-second chronograph function allows the owner to measure multiple events with the same starting time but different ending times. The 286-part manually wound MB M16.31 chronograph boasts an in-house-made hairspring (something few watch brands build themselves). Just 100 pieces will be made.

From the beginning stages of its production process to final finishes, Montblanc aims to objectify time in a way that is accommodating to the present-day consumer but that also anticipates and accommodates future generation wearers.Fusing craftsmanship from across Europe, Montblanc makes its writing instruments in Hamburg, imports its leather goods from France and timepieces from Switzerland to offer the best possible products in every category. This unification of spheres transpires into its watches.Whether moving with automatic or chronograph motion, Montblanc's watches astound through their accuracy and precision. The brand's Summit Lite Smartwatch opens new opportunities to be active through its sprightly aluminum structure and stripped rubber straps. Paired with activity apps, users can spend time efficiently, easily being able to track their progress and meet targets. In a converse but equally agile manner, the Geosphere Limited Edition, which was purposed for military use and exploration, is similarly dependable, while other lines such as the 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date and Star Legacy Full Calendar also promote harmony with the Earth's elements.
