Echoes Of The Yew Tree Ball: Montblanc Revives 18th-Century Grandeur In A Masterpiece

MRSTATELESS MONTBLANC, NEW RELEASES 2025, Limited Edition, Tourbillon, Versailles, Yellow Gold 0

Montblanc has unveiled one of its most elaborate creations to date — the Star Legacy Suspended Exo Tourbillon Château de Versailles, a limited edition of just eight pieces worldwide. Inspired by the splendor of the Palace of Versailles and the legendary Yew Tree Ball of 1745, this exceptional timepiece merges fine watchmaking with the decorative arts that defined the French royal court.

A Glimpse into History

The Yew Tree Ball, held in 1745 at the Palace of Versailles, was a grand masquerade organized by King Louis XV to celebrate the marriage of his son, the Dauphin Louis, to Infanta Maria Teresa Rafaela of Spain. Taking place in the famed Hall of Mirrors, the event gathered around 1,500 guests in elaborate costumes — including the king himself, who appeared disguised as a sculpted yew tree. It became one of the most memorable spectacles of the French court and now serves as the poetic inspiration behind Montblanc’s latest masterpiece.

A Masterpiece Inspired by Versailles

Every detail of the Star Legacy Suspended Exo Tourbillon Château de Versailles evokes the grandeur of that historic ballroom. The dial recreates the Hall of Mirrors through a blend of precious materials and traditional decorative techniques, including champlevé enamel, hand engraving, and marquetry.

The white gold dial is coated in black enamel and adorned with gold paillons before being kiln-fired, producing a shimmering effect reminiscent of candlelight reflecting on mirrors and chandeliers. The archways are sculpted from cacholong (a milky-white opal) and Sarrancolin marble sourced from the same quarry that supplied the palace itself, while the solid oak parquet on the dial mirrors the ballroom’s original flooring.

Above the dial, sapphire plates etched with chandeliers and masked figures add depth, capturing the festive spirit of the Yew Tree Ball.

Artistic Details and Traditional Horology

The time display sits on a sub-dial of white champlevé enamel, featuring blue enamel Roman numerals and a golden sunburst motif. Surrounding it is a 3N gold ring, laser-engraved to recall the brass detailing of Versailles. The yellow gold hands, inspired by Baroque design, are created using modern laser-cutting, and the small Apollo head at the center symbolizes light and artistry — a recurring theme in Versailles’ decor.

The 44.80 mm 18K yellow gold case features a hand-engraved laurel wreath bezel and a caseband depicting an allegorical scene from a painting by François Lemoyne, representing peace and cultural harmony — values central to both Versailles and Montblanc’s artistry.

The Suspended Exo Tourbillon Caliber MB M16.68

Powering the watch is Montblanc’s in-house Caliber MB M16.68, featuring the Suspended Exo Tourbillon, where the balance wheel is positioned above the tourbillon cage rather than inside it. This innovative design reduces energy consumption while allowing the use of a larger balance wheel with 18 regulating screws, improving precision.

The single-arm, gold-coated steel bridge follows the curve of the domed dial, and the one-minute tourbillon functions as a running seconds display. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement showcases meticulous hand-finishing with Côtes de Genève, circular graining, mirror polishing, and sharp anglage.

A Presentation Worthy of a King

Each watch is presented in a custom-made box by Elie Bleu, the Parisian master cabinetmaker. Inside, a Reuge music box plays a composition by Jean-Philippe Rameau with lyrics by Voltaire, performed at Versailles in 1745. When activated, the melody begins as the watch gently rotates, as if dancing in time with history.

Exclusivity and Legacy

Limited to just eight pieces, the Montblanc Star Legacy Suspended Exo Tourbillon Château de Versailles stands as a remarkable fusion of art, history, and horology. It captures the elegance of the 18th century while demonstrating Montblanc’s mastery in fine watchmaking.

Minerva Mechanics In Focus: Montblanc’s Burgundy Split-Second Chronograph

MRSTATELESS MONTBLANC, NEW RELEASES 2025, Chronograph, Limited Edition, Split Second 0

Montblanc continues to explore the intersection of historical horology and modern craftsmanship with the 1858 Split Second Chronograph Burgundy, a limited edition timepiece that showcases the mechanical artistry of traditional Swiss watchmaking. Designed in tribute to Minerva’s legacy—one of the oldest and most respected chronograph manufacturers in Switzerland—the watch blends vintage aesthetics with a high-performance rattrapante movement.

Design That Recalls the Golden Era of Chronographs

The timepiece features a bold 44 mm stainless steel case, topped with a fixed 18k white gold fluted bezel, a visual cue pulled directly from Minerva chronographs of the 1920s. Brushed surfaces and a narrow polished bevel add texture and contrast, emphasizing the watch’s tool-watch roots while maintaining refined elegance.

A monopusher chronograph is built into the fluted crown, controlling the start, stop, and reset functions. A second pusher, placed at 2 o’clock, manages the split-second complication, enabling the wearer to time intermediate intervals with precision.

Dial in Deep Burgundy With Functional Symmetry

One of the most striking elements is the sunray-brushed burgundy dial, which shimmers between shades of crimson and wine depending on ambient light. This vivid background supports a clear, vintage-style layout: a tachymeter scale encircles the outer edge, followed by a seconds/minutes track in white. Two subdials provide functionality—a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, and small seconds at 9 o’clock—each with a black background for enhanced readability.

Large Arabic numerals coated in white Super-LumiNova mark the hours, although the central open-tipped hour and minute hands, in contrast, are left without luminous fill—preserving a historically accurate appearance. To differentiate between the overlapping hands, the chronograph hands are painted white, including the one on the minute counter, allowing for quick distinction from the timekeeping elements.

A Movement Worthy of a Display Caseback

Powering the watch is the manual-winding Montblanc calibre MB M16.31, a movement crafted at the Montblanc Manufacture in Villeret, formerly known as the Minerva workshops. Modeled after the early 20th-century Minerva calibres 19-09 CH and 17-29, the MB M16.31 is a large-scale, pocket-watch-style chronograph movement measuring 38.40 mm in diameter and 8.13 mm in height.

This caliber is equipped with dual column wheels and horizontal clutch architecture, supporting both the chronograph and rattrapante (split-second) functions. It beats at a traditional 18,000 vibrations per hour, relying on a large screwed balance wheel for steady precision.

The level of finishing is exemplary: bridges and plates in German silver (maillechort) are decorated with Côtes de Genève, perlage, and hand-chamfered edges. The split-second mechanism features a signature V-shaped chronograph bridge, patented in 1912, while the arrow-tipped hammer references the goddess Minerva herself. A gold-plated going train adds a warm visual accent beneath the sapphire display caseback.

Limited Edition of 100 Pieces

Completing the package is a burgundy leather strap with an alligator print, fitted with a stainless steel triple-folding clasp with fine adjustment. The strap is interchangeable, offering versatility for those who want to swap styles.

The Montblanc 1858 Split Second Chronograph Burgundy is produced in a limited edition of 100 units and is priced at € 55,000. For collectors and enthusiasts of high-complication mechanical watches, this model stands out not only for its historical connections but for the sheer quality of its execution.

Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Annual Calendar Debuts In Steel And Lime Gold

MRSTATELESS MONTBLANC, NEW RELEASES 2025, Limited Edition, Watches and Wonders 2025, World Timer 0

Montblanc expands its 1858 collection with the introduction of the 1858 Geosphere Annual Calendar, a watch that integrates complex functionality with high-end finishing and a strong connection to Minerva’s technical heritage. This new model brings together a rare combination of annual calendar and world time functions in a manually wound timepiece.

The watch is presented in a 42mm case, available in two materials: stainless steel and Lime Gold, the latter being a proprietary alloy exclusive to Montblanc. At 13.3mm thick, the case features a satin-brushed finish with polished accents and is topped by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. A fluted bezel, referencing Minerva’s historic designs from the 1920s, adds a distinctive vintage signature.

The crown, placed at 3 o’clock, is fluted and embossed with the Montblanc emblem. Just above it, a recessed corrector enables easy adjustment of the calendar.

On the silvery-white dial, legibility is prioritized through a balanced layout. A double window at 12 o’clock displays the big date, while a peripheral rotating month ring uses a red arrow as an indicator. A nod to the past is included with the inscription “Minerva” in place of “July,” referencing the brand’s registration in that month in 1887.

The lower half of the dial showcases a hand-painted 3D globe, crafted from sapphire crystal and illustrating the Northern Hemisphere, complete with a 24-hour scale and day/night indication. The Greenwich meridian is highlighted in orange. Upon request, the globe can be configured to represent the Southern Hemisphere.

Around the dial’s center lies a sunray-brushed chapter ring, bordered by a textured minute and seconds track, and marked with arrow-shaped indices. The stainless steel model features blue-coated markers and hands, while the Lime Gold version includes rose gold-coated elements. Both versions are treated with white Super-LumiNova® for enhanced visibility in low light.

Driving the timepiece is the Calibre MB M14.58 manual movement, which operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz) and delivers a 65-hour power reserve. This calibre builds upon the MB 14.08, previously used in the Montblanc Heritage Pythagore line, which itself draws lineage from the Minerva calibre 48 developed in 1943. While the MB 14.08 was known for its straight-line architecture based on the golden ratio, the new MB M14.58 adds complexity with an additional bridge to support a central seconds hand and integrates the annual calendar and world time modules. It’s adorned with rhodium-plated German silver bridges, hand-chamfered edges, Côtes de Genève striping, and a gold-plated gear train.

Each watch is fitted with a blue calfskin leather strap, embossed with an alligator motif, and equipped with a triple-folding clasp featuring a micro-adjustment system.

Production is strictly limited: 100 pieces in stainless steel and just 30 pieces in Lime Gold. The retail prices are USD 45,500 and USD 59,000, respectively.

Montblanc Introduces Iced Sea 0 Oxygen In A Compact 38mm Format

MRSTATELESS MONTBLANC, NEW RELEASES 2025, Diver, Watches and Wonders 2025 0

Montblanc continues to expand its presence in the world of professional dive watches with the latest addition to its Iced Sea collection. Building on the success of previous models, the new Iced Sea Automatic Date Zero Oxygen arrives in a refined 38mm stainless steel case—introducing a more compact and versatile size, while preserving the collection’s robust diving credentials.

The latest Iced Sea models maintain ISO 6425 certification, offering a water resistance of 300 meters, making them fully capable of handling professional underwater environments. The highlight this year is the introduction of Montblanc’s proprietary Zero Oxygen technology into the 38mm range. This innovation eliminates internal fogging by completely removing oxygen from the case, enhancing reliability in extreme conditions and preventing oxidation of the movement over time.

Offered in two striking dial colors—Glacier White and Ice Blue—the new models draw inspiration from the icy terrain of the Mont Blanc massif. These glacier-inspired dials are crafted using a gratté boisé technique, lending them a frosty, textured appearance that captures the light with a natural, crystalline shimmer. Both dials feature prominent Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock, surrounded by applied hour markers and lume-filled syringe-style hands for optimal legibility in low-light situations. A practical date window is positioned at 3 o’clock.

The case measures 12.3mm in thickness and is finished with a mix of brushed surfaces and polished bevels. The unidirectional rotating bezel, color-matched to the dial, is designed for underwater timing and features a luminous triangle at the zero position. The Glacier White variant is equipped with a crisp white ceramic bezel, while the Ice Blue model is paired with anodized aluminum bezel inserts in a complementary two-tone gradient.

Inside, the timepiece is powered by the MB 24.17 automatic movement, based on the reliable Sellita SW200-1. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement offers a 38-hour power reserve. The caseback features a detailed engraving of a diver descending beneath a frozen seascape—an artistic touch that reinforces the Iced Sea’s adventurous spirit.

Montblanc offers these new 38mm models with a choice of an interchangeable stainless steel bracelet or a rubber strap, both fitted with a secure double-folding clasp and an integrated fine adjustment system for improved comfort and wearability.

Prices are set at € 3,600 for models on a bracelet and € 3,400 for those on a rubber strap.

MRSTATELESS MONTBLANC 2024, Diver 0

In April, Montblanc presented the year’s main novelties, including the impressive Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810.

The diving watch that meets the ISO 6425 standards has a waterproof rating of 4810m which corresponds to the height of the highest peak in Western Europe and comes with an oxygen-free case that allows you to avoid fogging situations due to temperature variations.

Housed in a robust 43mm by 19.40mm Grade 5 Titanium case, which comes with a satin brushed finish on the surfaces and polished on the bevels, it features a unidirectional bezel with black aluminium insert and a 60-minute scale that illuminates completely in the dark, screw-down crown at 3 o’clock that is carved with the brand’s logo and protected by guards and lastly screw-in 3D laser-engraving case back.

The smoky-blue dial comes with an engraved 3D glacier pattern where we find applied baton hour markers that at the 12-6-9 positions are replaced by Arabic numerals and a framed date window at 3 o’clock, and three centre hands all filled with Super- LumiNova, lastly a railroad minute track alongside the edges.

Inside, shines the Caliber MB 29.29 automatic movement with 198 components based on the Sellita SW300 that also houses many other brands from the Richemont universe, which is COSC-certified, presenting an accuracy of +6/-4 seconds per day, operating at 28,800 Vph and offers up to 5 days of power reserve.

The new Montblanc ref. 133268 comes attached to an integrated black rubber strap with a steel folding clasp that is available in the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers for €8,900.

Montblanc continues to celebrate 100 years of the Meisterstück pen and is now presenting a limited edition of the Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph to mark the occasion.

It has a round steel case measuring 43 mm in diameter and 15.01 mm thick with a polished and brushed finish, smooth bezel, domed sapphire glass, fluted ball-shaped crown with the brand’s logo at 3 o’clock, a rectangular mono-pusher at 8 o’clock that handles the chronograph function and open back case.

The black dial is adorned with a luminescent 1920s writing instrument scheme background that lights up blue in the dark, featuring an off-centre dial at noon that mimics the Montblanc emblem dimension charts found on the pen caps and the watch’s crown, rose gold Dauphine hands and Arabic numerals, two rotating registers connected by a rose gold longangle-shaped bridge that also works as a 30-minute and 60-second pointer at 4 and 8 o’clock that come with the references “48” and “10” (the height of Mont Blanc) and which are also a symbol on Meisterstück pens, and finally, a date window at 6 o’clock.

Montblanc Expands Iced Sea Collection With A New 0 Oxigen Deep 4810 And Two Automatic Models

MRSTATELESS MONTBLANC, NEW RELEASES 2024, Diver, Watches and Wonders 2024 0

Montblanc expands the Iced Sea collection with three new watches, first with the impressive new 0 Oxigen Deep 4810 model and then with two models of the Iced Sea Automatic, one in bronze and the other in stainless steel.

Montblanc Iced Sea 0 Oxigen Deep 4810

The diving watch ref. MB132291 returns with a case completely devoid of oxygen and with a stunning 4,810m of watertightness, which corresponds to Mont Blanc’s height.

On the outside, it wears a titanium case measuring 43mm in diameter and 19.40mm thick, an anodized aluminium bezel with a luminescent scale, domed sapphire glass, curved lugs, screw-down crown at 3 o’clock with guards and 3D laser-engravement case back.

The textured blue dial is obtained using the stumato technique inspired by the “Mer de Glace” glacier, where we find applied indexes, three centre hands filled with Super-LumiNova and a date window next to the crown.

Inside runs the Caliber MB 29.29 automatic movement which is chronometer-certified by COSC. The watch comes attached to a black rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp and is priced at €8,900.

Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic

The other two novelties are not so impressive, arriving in a 41mm diameter case, with an aluminium bezel, sapphire glass, screwed crown, 3D laser-engraved case back and 300m water resistance. The glacier-textured dial features a very similar layout to the Iced Sea 0 Oxigen Deep 4810 featuring applied hour markers, Arabic numerals, Super-LumiNova filled hands, and a date window at 3 o’clock. Coming equipped with the MB 24.17 automatic movement based on the Sellita SW200-1.

The ref. MB133300 is presented in a bronze and aluminium alloy case, which is 50x stronger than traditional bronze, two-tone aluminium bezel insert in black and brown and rose-gold plated indexes on the black dial.

Montblanc Presents The New Unveiled Secret Minerva Aged Steel

MRSTATELESS MONTBLANC, NEW RELEASES 2024, Chronograph, Limited Edition 0

After the 2022 limited editions in Lime gold and stainless steel of 18 and 58 pieces, the Montblanc Minerva monopusher chronograph returns in a new limited edition of 88 pieces now in aged steel.

The watch comes in a 43mm round steel case with a black patina finish obtained through a process that involves manual washing and brushing with Montblanc Quartzite and mountain limestone in a “V” shape as it is in front of the Villeret Manufacturing.

The exclusive watch also comes with a fluted bezel in white gold inspired by the first bezel of that shape that equipped a Minerva from 1927.

For the first time, it features an openworked dial that reveals its manual Caliber MB M16.29, which in a humorous move by the Maison is identified as M16.26 since the “9” is turned upside down.

The dial features parts in sandblasted German silver, anthracite rhodium bridges and Maison’s coquille diamantage motif in a snail. Adorned with applied hour markers and the Arabic numeral twelve all filled with Super-LumiNova, just like the centre cathedral hands, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a small second at 9.

The 273-part MB M16.29 manual movement operates at 18,000 Vph and offers up to 50 hours of power reserve.

The watch comes attached to a black crocodile leather strap with white stitching and a folding clasp matching the case, which can now be purchased for USD 39,500.
