Montblanc Bohème Collection:
An elegant and self-confident expression for the contemporary
Bohème lady: the new ladies watch collection by Montblanc
In presenting the new Montblanc Bohème collection, Montblanc gives a new expression to its
passion for fine watchmaking. Designed for women, the Bohème line combines distinctive style,
elegant design and respect for the watchmaking tradition.
All the traditional codes of fine watchmaking with a clear feminine expression have transpired into
this collection created for contemporary and sophisticated women with authentic and strong
personality. It is rare for a watch to express the grand complications of fine watchmaking in such a
feminine way: beyond its aesthetic beauty, the Montblanc Bohème collection, with its self-winding
calibre, date or perpetual calendar, welcomes women to fine watchmaking who want to express
their femininity in the true Bohème spirit.
The new Montblanc Bohème Ladies timepieces attain their unique character through a refined
attention to detail that enriches the codes of fine watchmaking with superb elegance and
femininity.
The floral Arabic numerals with their sensuous curves are discreetly raised by a minute scale
displaying the beautiful character of a “filet sauté”. The finely guilloché 60 or 90-facet or diamond
paved dial serves as a backdrop to the race of the hours and the minutes. The leaf-shaped hands
assert their blued or their red gold profusion with strength and refinement.
With the simple elegance of its case with a diameter of 30 or 36 mm, and its delicately curved,
1
bevelled horns, in red gold or stainless steel, the Montblanc Bohème collection bears the hallmark
of authenticity.
This classic elegance can be enhanced individually by choosing diamonds for the bezel or the
mother-of-pearl dial and by selecting a leather or stainless steel wristband. In addition, the
contemporary Bohème lady can express her passion for fine watchmaking by wearing a grand
complication timepiece.

ultra-femininity,

and

Montblanc Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewellery
With its two manufactures based in Switzerland, Le Locle and Villeret, Montblanc holds all the
expertise and experience of watchmaking craftsmanship and mastery of savoir-faire. Top of the
line of the new Montblanc Bohème ladies timepieces collection, the Montblanc Bohème Perpetual
Calendar enables the Bohème lady to elevate her feminine lifestyle to the pinnacle and beauty of
Swiss watchmaking.
While this model epitomises the contemporary Bohème spirit, a combination of sophistication,
individuality and audaciousness, its movement, the Perpetual Calendar, raises it to a whole new
dimension. This grand complication with its timeless charm is manufactured with the utmost
mechanical expertise and combines the highest expression of the expertise and experience of the
watchmakers with elegant femininity.
The indications of the Montblanc Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewellery timepiece are
harmoniously spread out on the highly sophisticated silver guilloché 60-facets dials: month and
leap year cycle at 12 o’clock, date at 3 o’clock, moon phases at 6 o’clock and day of the week at 9
o’clock. While this feature ensures it can be read with ease, the extremely complex movement
means it will require no manual adjustment until the year 2100. However, should correction be
necessary in the event that the timepiece has not been worn for a long time, tiny correctors hidden
inside the watch allow for fast and easy adjustment.
To house the self-winding calibre MB 29.15, which can be admired through its sapphire crystal
glass, the dimensions of the red gold case have been designed to 36 mm. As an utterly guarantee
of the outstanding quality, each Montblanc Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewellery timepiece
undergoes 500 hours of rigorous tests at the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle before leaving
the workshops to mark time on the beautiful wrist of a contemporary Bohème lady. A woman
who, apart from the performance of this extraordinary timepiece, will succumb to the charm of the
3
bezel set with 60 sparkling diamonds and of the winding crown adorned with a uniquely shaped
patented Montblanc Diamond in the form of the Montblanc emblem.
The Montblanc Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewellery: a timepiece where fine watchmaking and
fine jewellery are perfectly united to create a new era of feminine watchmaking.

Montblanc Bohème Date Automatic
When the Montblanc master watchmakers and artisans started their mission to design a timepiece
that would attract women to the beauty of fine watchmaking in an unprecedented way, they chose
to start from scratch.
They began by designing a classically shaped case, however, one to which each detail, each line,
each curve adds a touch of refinement. The case is made of red gold, stainless steel or a
combination of both, with a diameter of 30 mm perfectly adapted to delicate wrists. The feminine
case is water tight to 30 metres and is set off by bevelled, delicately curved horns, ensuring
maximum comfort.
Montblanc created a dial displaying the sophisticated codes of fine watchmaking expressed in a
distinctive feminine style: a 90-facet sunburst guilloché in the centre, surrounded by elegant floral
Arabic numerals with “filet sauté” minute scale, the blued or red gold-plated leaf-shaped hour-and
minute-hand and the central second hand extended with the Montblanc emblem. To add a date
window at 6 o’clock the watchmakers developed an elliptical opening which is perfectly integrated
into the dial’s curvature. The shape of the window underlines the signature style of this Montblanc
Bohème timepiece, marked by beauty and sophistication.
The hour, minute, central second and date functions are assured by a self-winding mechanical
movement calibre MB 24.14, with a frequency of 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour and a power
reserve of 38 hours. The Montblanc Bohème Date Automatic is available with a red gold or
stainless steel case enhanced by a bezel fully set with 62 sparkling Top Wesselton diamonds.

It is also offered in a pure stainless steel or in a combination of stainless steel/red gold version
with a dial adorned by 8 diamonds. According to personal taste and preference, the contemporary
Bohème lady can choose between a small scale alligator wristband in black, white, grey or warm
aubergine or a pure stainless steel bracelet or elegant stainless steel / red gold wristband. The
Montblanc Bohème Date Automatic will feature for the first time for the Maison, a shiny two color
leather wristband in yellow and orange, or light and dark blue to convey a very sophisticated yet
contemporary look.
Today’s women embody a combination of strength of character, independence and sophistication
in their private and professional life. This newly created Montblanc ladies timepiece cultivates the
best of fine watchmaking tradition and visual elegance with audaciousness and creativity. With its
timeless design, refined feminine elegance and high watchmaking qualities, the Montblanc
Bohème Date Automatic opens a new chapter in the history of Montblanc ladies’ timepieces.
