From the beginning stages of assembling individual parts to presenting a truly alive and resplendent piece, Montblanc products are lifestyle companions that will accompany yours and future generations to come. The Montblanc watchmaking story began in 1858, when Charles-Yvan Robert founded his workshop in Villeret, in the Swiss Jura Mountains. Bringing a Montblanc timepiece to life requires centuries of accumulated knowledge, decades of experience, years of development and hundreds of hours of dedicated labour.
