The Montblanc 1858 Collection continues to reinterpret the famous Minerva chronographs from the 1930s, with distinct designs and exceptional mechanics that traverse time. The vintage style of the collection has been further enhanced by the introduction of bronze—a first for the Maison. Through this choice of metal, Montblanc combines traditional Swiss artisanal watchmaking with a genuine material from watchmaking history. For the first time in the watchmaking industry, bronze is coupled with steel and it results in a bi-colour, bi-material combination that brings out the best of vintage design. The vintage Montblanc 1858 Automatic Dual Time with its highly recognisable styling features a traditional black dial, cathedral-shaped hands and beige Super-LumiNova® Arabic numerals. The timepiece comes in a 44 mm satinated stainless steel case with a bronze bezel and crown. Powered by the calibre MB 29.19, this automatic movement features a dual time complication entirely developed and assembled in-house with a home time indication and a day/night display. The timepiece is completed with the authentic Montblanc logo from the 1930s on the dial and a brand new cognac-coloured calfskin strap featuring traditional beige stitching just below the lugs and has been treated to give it an aged appearance—all in perfect keeping with the vintage theme
