Montblanc Watch 1858 Automatic Iced Sea Automatic Date 129372
Montblanc could have looked towards tropical waters for inspiration when creating its dive watch range, but instead, it looked closer to home. The 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date watch is a masterpiece that blends the beauty of the glacial lakes of the Mont Blanc Massif with state-of-the-art watchmaking mastery. The glacial ice that can be seen there captivated Montblanc’s designers with its interlocking network of crystals that have been held inside ice for millennia. To capture the beauty of this natural phenomenon, Montblanc designed the dial with a mere 0.5mm depth and fitted the watch with an interchangeable bracelet. This Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea watch is a certified diving instrument for those serious about taking to the water while wearing it.
The design has been certified to ISO standards and guarantees an impressive 300-meter water resistance, not to mention a two-toned ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel for measuring elapsed time underwater. As a luxury dive watch, the 1858 Iced Sea Automatic, complete with date feature and mechanical movement, combines all the robustness, legibility and reliability one would expect of any expertly crafted tool. But best of all is the dial’s ability to create the impression of peering into a glacier itself - a design element deeply rooted in the brand’s heritage.

Montblanc Meisterstück X Olympic Heritage Chamonix 1924 Classique Fountain Pen F, 131362
This beautiful Meisterstuck fountain pen from Montblanc celebrates the spirit of the Olympic Games Chamonix 1924. The event shares the year with the brand’s launch of the luxury writing instrument, which has become one of the most covetable items for marking celebrations, anniversaries and milestone moments. In that same year, the foot of Mont Blanc hosted the 1924 Olympic Winter Games. This masterpiece features the colours chosen for that Olympic year – a blue-grey tone in precious resin and an 18ct gold nib that has been engraved with a ski jumper, which was used on an original vintage Olympic poster. On the cap top ring, a wreath of leaves adds more detail to the design, symbolising the victories and wins of the sporting event over the years. The “Olympic Games Chamonix 1924” inscription can be read on the surface of the cap, while the years “1924” and “2024” can be seen on the cap ring.
Montblanc Meisterstuck Olympic Heritage Doue Chamonix 145 Fountain Pen M 131367
Celebrating that same iconic sporting event, this Montblanc Meisterstuck Olympic Heritage Doue Chamonix 145 fountain pen boasts a precious resin barrel in dark blue-grey tones and platinum-coated hardware that epitomises opulence and sophistication. Perfect for marking a special Christmas spent together, the fountain pen will make a beautiful Christmas 2024 gift idea and will slip effortlessly into a stocking on Christmas Eve. The luxury writing instrument will appeal to sports enthusiasts, as well as Montblanc collectors and features a cap, once again, engraved with the “Olympic Games Chamonix 1924” lettering, framed by a design inspired by the cover of the official Games report. On the cap top, Montblanc experts choose a coral-coloured resin to bear the floating star Montblanc motif.
Montblanc Watch Iced Sea Automatic Date M133300
Could any watch be more fitting for the winter period than one that bears a frozen dial? The 1858 is Montblanc’s reborn dive watch and might just be the perfect present for underneath the Christmas tree this holiday season. Dive watches are, after all, the ultimate all-rounder. Until 2022, Montblanc’s catalogue was absent of such a tool watch. This particular design captures a setting sun over the glacier. The black glacial pattern of the dial gives this timepiece a real 3D appearance and combines beautifully with the tones of a bronze case – an increasingly popular case material. The texture of the dial is also significant since it is inspired by the region’s main glacier – the Mer de Glace, which means “sea of ice”. Take a closer look and you’ll fully appreciate the intricate ancestral technique called grate boise, which achieves this unique effect.
The mastery of Montblanc's design continues much further into the heart of this timepiece, too. Behind a titanium caseback and underneath a unidirectional rotating bezel lies a mechanical movement capable of producing a 38-hour power reserve. The case promises 300 meters of water resistance and while the dial appliques themselves illuminate in bright blue Super-LumiNova by night, the dial remains just as legible during the day with an anti-glare sapphire crystal glass front. The watch is completed on an interchangeable black rubber strap with brown contrast stitching and a fine adjustment system for enlarging or tightening, depending on the situation.
