Luxury German marque Montblanc had cause for double the celebration recently as it not only the reopened its 1881 Heritage Flagship Store in Tsim Sha Tsui, but also unveiled an all-new line-up of models in its 1858 Collection of precision timepieces.
On the evening of the grand opening, Montblanc’s refurbished two-storey showroom was entirely transformed to emphasise the themes that guided the latest 1858 Collection chronograms: ‘reflection and reconnection with nature’. From the foliage-covered Greenery Wall – which showcased such notable designs as the 1858 Geosphere and the 1858 Automatic Chronograph – to the special LED display of a gushing waterfall that acted as the perfect foil for the brand’s other iconic ranges (Star Legacy and TimeWalker, to name but two), it was a wholly captivating and immersive experience for the lucky VIP guests in attendance.
If that weren’t enough, attendees were also treated to a walk through time via the History Wall, which highlighted the legacy of the Minerva Manufactory, the groundbreaking watch complications manufacturer that was founded in 1858, and the pre-cursor to the Montblanc brand today. With champagne glasses in hand, and with a lively musical performance from renowned violinist and DJ Olivia Dawn, it was truly a haute horological night to remember.
