Montblanc - Elegant timepieces, jewellery and writing instruments inspired by the romance of the moon

Designed for the free-spirited and independent woman, the ultra-feminine Montblanc Bohème Collection with its pure lines and sophisticated designs sees the arrival of a new assortment of timepieces, jewellery and writing instruments inspired by the phases of the moon, and their influence on the passing of the seasons. Bohème Moongarden, a tribute to pure and sophisticated style, is a poetic and alluring extension to the Bohème line, evoking the captivating romance of the moon. 

Capturing the presence and self-confidence of the contemporary Bohème lady, two new Montblanc timepieces pair aesthetic elegance with the highly functional attributes of a unique complication, expressing her passion for fine watchmaking. Montblanc has taken the 12 names of the different moons as inspiration to create Bohème Moongarden, a new exclusive complication developed in-house that displays the name of each month’s full moon instead of the traditional name of the month. The name appears in a crescent shape window in the centre surrounded by a golden line and the moon phases appear in an aperture at “6 o’clock”. An 18K red gold bezel is set with 78 fine Wesselton diamonds, giving the watch radiance. The feminine and sensuous floral Arabic numerals with a prominent “12” set on a sophisticated silvery-white «guilloché» dial with 90 facets, and the 18K red gold-plated hands in leaf shape add to the refined aesthetics of the Bohème Moongarden. Because the Bohème lady enjoys personalizing her look to convey her own distinctive style, the watch features an interchangeable leather strap mechanism so she can playfully change the straps, each one decorated with colourful seasonal patterns evoking the seasons related to the changing of the moon phases. 

A second watch, Bohème Day & Night brings together timeless feminine elegance and complete functionality, balancing the highest aesthetic refinement with a respect for the utmost perfection of fine watchmaking traditions. The new timepiece is defined by its romantic small complication and a characteristic Bohème guilloché dial crafted in the purest fine watchmaking style. The original day & night indication allows the wearer to know which part of the day or night it is precisely – highlighting the beauty of transition. While the day is indicated through a sophisticated light blue and golden sun, the night indication is represented in a warm dark blue decorated with a smiling golden moon adorned by stars. True to the aesthetic attributes of the Bohème line, the unique character of every Bohème piece comes from the unexpected details that enrich the codes of fine watchmaking from the elegant 34mm stainless steel case featuring a bezel fully set with 72 top Wesselton diamonds to the sophisticated integration of the elliptical date opening on the dial. 

Bohème Moongarden Jewellery: The elegant glow of moon pearls 

In a display of pure and minimalistic style, the theme of the moon appears in the refined jewellery pieces that elegantly pair rhodium-plated silver with the iridescence of Akoya pearls, farmed in the seawaters of South Japan. Flowing freely around the neckline or suspended from the ears, the contemporary silver jewellery is enhanced by the natural beauty of the pearls, reflecting the light like the ethereal and mesmerising glow of the moon. 

Classic pearls, elegantly displayed like the phases of the moon, are given a contemporary design treatment, becoming a stylish and feminine statement for the woman who enjoys creating her own independent look. A seductive necklace can be worn at different lengths paired with a bracelet, while a pair of earrings features an innovative pull-through mechanism to give them an effortless flow and let the pearls shine. Mysterious and enthralling, a sautoir featuring a cascade 

of four chains embellished with different-sized pearls is designed to adorn the neckline, playfully combining the softness of round shapes with the pure architectural lines created in silver. Each piece in the Moongarden jewellery collection features one pearl adorned with a delicate snow cap, an iconic reference to Montblanc and the Maison’s passion for craftsmanship and refined design. 

Bohème Writing Instrument: An ode to the beauty of the full moon 

Completing the collection, the Montblanc Bohème Doué Moongarden writing instrument references the moon and its impact on the four seasons. Capturing the mood of autumn, the metal barrel lacquered in a flannel grey tone features an elaborate foliage design inlaid with red- coloured lacquer, representing red gold-coloured leaves moving in the autumn wind under a golden full moon. The red gold-plated fittings contrast with the flannel grey precious resin cap evoking the autumnal skies, while the clip is set with a synthetic cognac-coloured stone that shines like a radiant moon. The fountain pen’s retractable nib is delicately hand-sculpted in Au750 red gold with rhodium-plated inlay by the master craftsmen at Montblanc’s Hamburg Manufacture with a passion for detail and dedication to achieve a product of the finest quality. To complete the selection of writing instruments Montblanc Bohème Doué Moongarden is also available as Fountain Pen, Rollerball and Ballpoint Pen. 

By enriching the Bohème collection with new creations dedicated to the beauty of the moon, Montblanc gives the contemporary Bohème lady new ways to express her femininity, sophistication, and her passion for the aesthetic yet functional pieces she treasures.
