DESCRIPTION

  • Montblanc 4810 Collection

    Montblanc celebrates the golden age of travel across the Atlantic Ocean with its 4810 collection

    Montblanc marks its 110th anniversary this year with a new 4810 Collection, building on this best-selling line that was first presented in 2006 for the Maison’s centennial celebrations. The new 4810 Collection respects all the codes of Montblanc’s watchmaking, with its strong, elegant and sporty design, offering a new sophisticated interpretation of this much loved 4810 Collection for the modern traveller who needs a performance timepiece he can rely on.

    It was in 1906, during a booming period of manufacturing, that three pioneers travelled to America – engineer August Eberstein, merchant Alfred Nehemias and stationery trader Claus Voß – inspired by what they discovered. They developed a writing instrument with non-leaking technology and a piston convertor. Eberstein was the visionary engineer of the trio, and had spent many years researching micro mechanical innovations in the United States and England. His vision of performance, innovation and perfect quality became the nucleus and driving force of Montblanc. Voß, on the other hand, was the entrepreneur. He had been actively seeking for innovations with unique development potential. When he met Eberstein he immediately recognized his creativity and passion for engineering and knew he would be the perfect partner to complement his own entrepreneurial drive.

    In 1910, the three founders adopted the name Montblanc, after the highest mountain in  Europe, and made it a symbol for their vision for excellence. This desire for the highestquality translated into ultimate performance, true innovation and the finest craftsmanship, values that continue to drive Montblanc today. The peak of the Mont Blanc Mountain measures 4,810 meters, a number which has always been an iconic figure for the Maison. Today this number is reborn in the new 4810 Collection and honours the spirit of excellence that was set by the Maison’s founders when they began their incredible journey 110 years ago.

    The beginning of the 20th century was an exciting time for innovation. It marked a departure for new horizons especially with transportation across the Atlantic driving international commerce and cultural relations. Thanks to ground breaking new inventions, the rise of the marine steam engine and improved navigational methods, there was a quantum leap in sea travel. Passenger liners competed against each other for the Blue Riband award—a prestigious prize for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. The record was based on average speed, as ships took different routes across the ocean, and only recognized the fastest speed westbound against the challenging Gulf Stream. This much-coveted award attracted both passengers and freight companies who sought out the fastest and most powerful ships. The Blue Riband became a true symbol of distinction and high achievement and its spirit is part of the new Montblanc 4810 Collection, embracing peak performance and horological excellence.

    During these enterprising times, the cities with the largest ports experienced the most vigorous growth and development, becoming hubs for trade, cultural exchange and innovation. The port of Hamburg was among them; as Germany’s largest port it soon became referred to as the country’s “Gateway to the World”. Thanks to the port, the city of Hamburg was thriving with international trade, but also the manufacture of Germany’s own sumptuous ocean liners, which were quickly recognized as the world’s most important and modern shipping vessels. Montblanc’s roots were set down in Hamburg during these dynamic times and are celebrated in the new Montblanc 4810 Collection from both a technological and aesthetic point of view.

    To celebrate the Maison’s 110th anniversary, and the incredible era in which it was founded, Montblanc is introducing a number of unique new timepieces in its 4810 Collection. With a choice of three in-house movements including a number of manufacture complications – Calibre MB 29.21 ExoTourbillon Stop-Second, Calibre MB LL100.1 TwinFly Chronograph, and the Calibre MB 29.20 World Timer.

    Each timepiece in the 4810 Collection follows the strong and elegant design codes of the Maison with guilloché dials featuring the prominent exploding Montblanc star motif, red gold Roman numerals and indexes, larger and bolder cases, and beautifully designed regate-shaped and skeleton hands. The attention to detail brings a new level of sophistication to the 4810 Collection, showing how Montblanc continues to “share the passion” for watchmaking with timepieces that offer functions, quality and aesthetics to seduce watch aficionados the world over.

    Montblanc 4810 TwinFly Chronograph 110 Years Edition

    Highly functional manufacture complications are an integral part of Montblanc’s horological offering, as the new Montblanc 4810 TwinFly Chronograph 110 Years Edition illustrates so well. This flyback chronograph allows the wearer to time one event, and then stop, reset and restart the chronograph with just one press on the pusher at 4 o’clock. This TwinFly function not only restarts the central chronograph seconds hand (in blue), but also the central minutes chronograph hand (in red gold), sending both hands back to zero and instantly restarting them for a new time measurement. Another pusher at 2 o’clock starts and stops the chronograph, while the pusher at 4 o’clock also returns the chronograph to 0 when it has previously been stopped.

    Driving the functions of the Montblanc 4810 TwinFly Chronograph 110 Years Edition is the Maison’s self-winding Calibre MB LL100.1 that has been developed and assembled entirely in-house and features both a chronograph and a dual time indication via an additional central hand (the dual time function on the MB LL100.1 has the same functionality as the one on the Heritage Chronométrie Dual Time). The chronograph mechanism uses a traditional column wheel and a vertical clutch system to start and stop the chronograph with perfect precision. Two barrels ensure a 72-hour power reserve so that the wearer can comfortably leave the watch over the weekend and then strap it right back on the wrist on Monday morning without missing a beat.

    On the aesthetic side, all the familiar Montblanc design codes can be found in the Montblanc 4810 TwinFly 110 Years Edition, starting with a 43 mm steel case and a large opening for the silvery-white guilloché dial, whose pattern depicts an exploded view of the iconic Montblanc Star. The hours are marked by alternating red gold-plated Roman numerals and baton indexes, while the hands are a mix of baton and regate designs and point to scales that run around the dial, indicating the seconds and the minutes with utmost precision. Each hour is also accentuated by the addition of a SuperLumiNova®* dot for improved visibility at night, and the minute scale includes red numbers at each 10-minute mark for greater legibility during the day.

    For the functions, the hour and minute hands are indicated with red gold-plated, regate-shaped hands, while the second time zone is shown via a highly readable skeletonized blue regate-shaped hand (for home time when travelling). Setting the local time is an extremely fast and precise affair, as the seconds don’t stop when the crown is pulled out. Moving onto the subdials, small seconds are displayed by a red gold-plated hand with a red tip in the subdial at 6 o’clock. This subdial also doubles as a date indicator with a large red arrow pointing to the date. At 12 o’clock, the subdial illustrates a map of the world that reveals whether it is day or night in the home time when travelling and links back to the pioneering spirit of travel crossing the Atlantic.

    Limited to 1,110 pieces, the Montblanc 4810 TwinFly Chronograph 110 Years Edition comes fitted with an elegant black alligator strap.
