Inspired by the rich watchmaking history of its Minerva workshops in Villeret, Switzerland, this year Montblanc unveiled a host of Heritage watches that recall Minerva's 20th-century watches. This new Heritage Perpetual Calendar watch boasts a vintage sectional dial and an early Montblanc logo. It houses the new self-winding, 378-part Caliber MB 29.22 movement that was three years in the making. This movement has a built-in safety feature that prevents the user from setting the watch between 8pm and midnight, which could damage the caliber (as this is when the wheels that turn the calendar indications are in motion). It is equipped with a second time-zone indication and 24-hour indication, making it perfect for travel.

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.
