Montblanc presents a luxury watch inspired by the Palace of Versailles, a tribute to Louis XIV

Montblanc takes its inspiration from Versailles to create an exceptional luxury watch. The model pays homage to Louis XIV, without giving in to pastiche.

Versailles on the wrist: the codes and materials of a luxury watch

First of all, the theme asserts itself on the hand-worked dial. Solar motifs recall the Sun King and his arts. The luxury watch plays the card of measured gilding and royal blue.

What’s more, the guilloché work is reminiscent of the decorations in the Galerie des Glaces. The craftsmen apply deep, clean finishes. Yet the piece remains balanced, despite the richness of the subject matter.

The polished case reveals sharp edges and satin-finished sides. The crown, on the other hand, bears the Montblanc star like a seal. Each piece leaves the workshops under strict control.

“The prestige of Versailles, at the pace of a whirlwind.”

Suspended Exo Tourbillon: the heart of a luxury watch

The Suspended Exo Tourbillon is the technical highlight. The balance wheel stands outside the cage, reducing the rotating mass. This choice adds spectacle to the piece.

comes from the Minerva heritage. What’s more, the bevelling and drawn flanks shine under the magnifying glass. In this way, the luxury watch expresses true Villeret savoir-faire.
