Chinese New Year is a time for joy and togetherness for family and friends, a celebration steeped in centuries-old traditions that symbolize the promise of new beginnings, prosperity, and good health. To mark the beginning of The Year of the Dragon, Montblanc presents a special assortment of gifts that blend the heritage of fine craftsmanship with contemporary design. Functional yet sentimental, each piece is intended to inspire their recipient to leave their own indelible mark and embrace the upcoming year with their Montblanc companions in tow.
The auspicious color of red also carries over to the selection of Montblanc leather goods. With its brilliant soft leather and elevated design cues inspired by the art of writing, the latest Montblanc Meisterstí¼ck leather capsule introduces a warm burgundy color that has been adorned with a hand-applied sfumato effect, gradually transitioning from darker to lighter tones, akin to ink diffusing into paper.
The Meisterstí¼ck Document Case makes for an elegant yet functional companion for travel, while the contemporary Meisterstí¼ck Messenger Bag offers a reimagined take on a classic design. Other ready-to-gift pieces from the Meisterstí¼ck burgundy color sfumato capsule include the Montblanc 149 Bag, suitable for overnight trips, as well as the Meisterstí¼ck wallet (6cc) and the Meisterstí¼ck card holder (6cc).
Crafted in a limitation of 1990 pieces, the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen South Pole Exploration draws inspiration from the fearless explorations of the Antarctic continent and provides a fitting gift for those looking to follow in these footsteps, be that in action or spirit.
Housed in an ultralight 42mm titanium case devoid of oxygen, the watch’s zero oxygen technology helps eliminate fogging and prevents oxidization, ensuring unparalleled durability and allowing the movement to work with continued precision over time. The watch’s limitation pays homage to Montblanc Mark Maker Reinhold Messner, who, in 1990, etched his name in history by becoming the first person to cross Antarctica on foot without animal or motorized support, alongside explorer Arved Fuchs. The case back features a 3D-engraved vista, capturing the beauty of the South Pole and the ethereal Aurora Australis.
Meanwhile, the iced blue dial with its sfumato effect evokes a hazy view of the horizon from the mountaintop. The watch is finished with a matching iced blue bi-directional anodized aluminum bezel and comes with an interchangeable tapered titanium bracelet and a grey rope-pattern textile strap inspired by the world of mountaineering.
Montblanc is available at Rustans Makati, Rustans Shangri-La, Rustan’s Cebu, Greenbelt 5, and Solaire Resort Entertainment City.
