Montblanc expands its Bohème watch collection with timepieces inspired by the world of handwriting and waterpainting.

Presenting the codes of fine watchmaking in an elegantly feminine way, Montblanc’s Bohème collection continues to grow with three new models that are inspired by the world of handwriting and watercolors. A new 30mm Automatic Date and two new Day & Night models – in 30mm and 34mm – bring an additional touch of romance to the collection.

The Montblanc Bohème collection combines refined dials with precious decorative techniques and practical complications that are all interpreted with considered elegance. The classic case, with its faceted integrated horns, blends the Montblanc Bohème style with essential functionality.

The Montblanc Bohème Automatic Date comes in a 30mm stainless steel case and features an elegant sunbrushed silver-white dial adorned with diamond indexes, rose gold-coated floral Arabic numerals and rose gold-coated hands. A closer look at the dial reveals numerous refined watchmaking details, including a filet sauté pattern around the periphery of the dial, an engraved circular line that frames the sunbrushed finish, and a stamping technique called filét d’étoiles for the ring containing the numerals and diamond indexes. This filét d’étoiles technique was inspired by photographs of the night sky that use long exposure times to capture the movement of stars in the night sky as the Earth rotates.

Powered by the Maison’s MB 24.19 automatic movement, with a power reserve of 38 hours, the Montblanc Bohème Automatic Date indicates the hours, minutes, and seconds, as well as a date in an almond-shaped aperture at six o’clock. A keen eye will note the date numerals are handwritten in a romantic font style. Other details include a water resistance of 30 metres, a white calf leather strap with alligator print featuring Montblanc’s interchangeable strap system, and an additional strap in blue calf leather with a satin pattern.

The new Montblanc Bohème Day & Night models come in a choice of 30mm or 34mm stainless steel cases. Like the Automatic Date, they feature an elegant sunbrushed silver-white dials adorned with diamond indexes, rose gold-coated floral Arabic numerals and rose gold-coated hands. Other refined details include a filet sauté pattern around the periphery of the dial, an engraved circular line that frames the sunbrushed finish, and a stamping technique called filét d’étoiles for the background behind the numerals and diamond indexes.

Fitted with the automatic Calibre MB 24.20 with a 42-hour power reserve, these two new models indicate the hours, minutes and seconds, as well as the date and a day and night display, which is presented in an almond-shaped aperture at 6 o’clock with handwritten numerals. This romantic font has also been applied to the dial for the day & night mention “Jour et Nuit”.

The celestial day & night complication is of particular note as it shows the changing sky over a period of 24h and brings an artistic touch to the timepieces as if it was created with watercolors. Crafted by one of Montblanc’s in-house designers, this this illustration gives a fairy tale-like atmosphere to the timepieces.

Other details include a white calf leather strap with alligator print featuring Montblanc  interchangeable strap system, an additional strap in blue calf leather with a satin pattern, and an open caseback offering a view of the movement.
