Intense reflections of guilloché rose gold combine with dazzling nuances of carnelian to give rise to four new Alhambra creations, aglow with tender harmonies.

There are many design elements that come into play in the Montblanc Star Legacy Collections. Their form is inspired by Minerva pocket watches from the late 19th and early 20th century with their round, polished, pebble-shaped cases and onion-shaped crowns. These two limited-editions include an Automatic Date and a Chronograph Day & Date. Both models are limited to 800 pieces each and come in 43mm stainless steel cases featuring satin-finished and polished details. They are also fitted with open casebacks so the wearer can appreciate the mechanics of the mechanical movements within. The case size increase to 43 mm occurred in 2020 and was more than a new size, but a whole new direction and expression of how elegant a timepiece can be. The Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Date with its beautiful blue dial and rose gold-coated hands and numerals is powered by the MB24.17 automatic movement that has a 38-hour power reserve and indicates the hours, minutes, seconds, and date. 

Whether it’s vibrantly colourful dials in the 1970s or groundbreaking movements finished with striking tones in its more recent creations, ZENITH has never shied away from exploring chromatics in new and daring ways. Consisting of eight different iterations of the DEFY 21 and limited to only eight box sets, the Ultra Colour pieces are all crafted in entirely matte finished lightweight titanium, allowing the chromatics from within to shine through. The open dial features raised chronograph counters matching the grey tone of the case, beneath which vibrant metallic colours are applied in the least expected part of the watch: the movement. The bridges as well as the oscillating rotor of the eight Ultra Colour pieces are monochromatically finished in eight different tones: Black, blue, violet, orange, pink, green, turquoise and khaki. The metallic tones shift with the light, enhancing the sense of volume and dynamism of this exceptional vibrant series. The cordura-effect rubber straps are also made to match the colours of the movement.

Among the brand manufacture’s proudest traditions is its historical association with one of modern literature’s greatest writers. With The Old Man and the Sea, the brand’s century-long affinity for Ernest Hemingway pivots from the man behind the pen, and sets course for his most iconic tale. Hemingway’s timeless story of the luckless fisherman, Santiago, and his quest to bring a giant marlin to shore epitomises the writer’s life and legacy. On The Old Man and the Sea, kotibé mahogany, enamel and sterling silver embody the lessons of Santiago’s journey: that lives lived with courage and integrity can be destroyed, but not defeated. The brand design’s leitmotif is “The Fight”, a barrel-length sculpture of the fisherman’s epic struggle portrayed in precious metals. Inspired by early dust jackets created for Hemingway’s classic, it recalls the heroism presented by life’s most mundane moments.
