The World of Montblanc
When the owner of a Montblanc product holds it for the first time, emotions flow: a mere glance at any
Montblanc product bears witness to the careful selection of materials, the craftsmanship that brought it
into being and the care and patience that were devoted to it. Each Montblanc product is a masterpiece in
itself, designed for those who value traditional and refined methods of fabrication: the art of the crafts-
man perfecting the nib of a fountain pen, the skill of the artisan fashioning leather goods, the creativity
of the goldsmith shaping the perfect jewel or the ultimate precision with which each watch is individually
manufactured in the Montblanc workshops in Switzerland.
It is the passion and artistry of the Montblanc master craftsmen that give each product that very special
something to complement its functional beauty: a soul. The symbol, the icon of the soul, is the white star
Montblanc emblem: a reference to the summit of the highest mountain in Europe. For more than a hun-
dred years, it has stood for the brand's high aspirations and commitment and, at the same time, for a
higher sense of lifestyle and culture. The star of the Montblanc emblem represents values that have true
relevance in a world of continuous change: timelessness, tradition and durability. Montblanc means tak-
ing time for something of personal importance: thoughts and feelings, beauty and culture.
Time for oneself and for others – and for the most significant moments in life.
Watch movements
Automatic movements
The automatic movements of Monblanc watches are wound by the natural movement of the wearer's wrist.
If the watch ceases to be worn, it will run for about 40 hours. If the watch stops after an extended period out
of use, it is advisable to rewind it with 10 to 15 turns of the crown and then set the time and date.
Manually wound movements
The manually wound movements of Montblanc watches have to be wound by hand. The running time of the
watch is about 50 hours, and it is wound by turning the crown 20 to 25 times. If the watch stops after an
extended period out of use, it is advisable to rewind it and then set the time.
Quartz movements
The quartz movement of a Montblanc watch offers outstanding precision, even when the watch remains
unworn for an extended period. It is recommended that the battery be changed approximately every two
years, or when the seconds hand moves in jumps of four seconds. The battery should always be changed by
an authorised Montblanc service centre.
For Montblanc quartz watches and any other Montblanc products with electrical/elec-
tronic components: Please contact your local authorised Montblanc dealer regarding the
disposal of any electrical or electronic components, such as batteries.
