Montblanc Watches: From Fountain Pens To Horology | Tick Talk 02

They made the pen you signed your first contract with. They also, it turns out, make some of the most under-rated mechanical watches coming out of Europe. In this second Tick Talk episode, watch critic Robin Swithinbank heads to Hamburg to spotlight MONTBLANC — the German maison that quietly bought a historic Swiss movement-maker and built a watchmaking arm to rival its writing one. Expect a tour through the 1858, Heritage and Star Legacy collections, and a case for why MONTBLANC deserves a second look from anyone who thought they only made pens.
