Montblanc Collaborates with Collective Horology on a 1858 Minerva Monopusher Chronograph
Drawing inspiration from a historical stopwatch.
Montblanc has teamed up with Collective Horology to release their 8th collaborative time-teller, introduced as the 1858 Minerva Monopusher Chronograph “Blue Arrow” P.05 for Collective.
Modeled after Montblanc’s Minerva stopwatch, the new limited-edition centers around its unique, white lacquered dial, where yellow subdials and blue scales serve as nods to its historical inspiration. Signed with the Minerva logo on the dial, the watch is attired in a 42mm stainless steel case and outfitted with a slim, 18k white gold fluted rotating bezel.
Running inside is the legendary MB M13.21 chronograph movement, which is a modern-day successor to the Minerva Calibre 13.20. Each example of this high-end monopusher movement takes two full days to be decorated, which is all done by hand at the Villeret Manufacture. Boasting 60 hours of power reserve, the Devil’s tail lateral clutch demonstrates the artisans’ high level of hand-finishing, making it a noteworthy highlight of this intricately-crafted caliber.
Limited to 30 units, the Montblanc 1858 Minerva Monopusher Chronograph “Blue Arrow” P.05 for Collective has a price point of $34,500 USD. It’s exclusively available for order via Collective Horology’s official online shop and is expected to be ready for shipment by December.
