“It is great to come back to SIHH, showcasing the brand’s evolution in the watchmaking sector” says Nicolas Baretzki, Montblanc CEO. “Exploring this environment is an opportunity for our visitors to experience the spirit of exploration that inspired 1858, a line built for explorers and anyone who dares to venture out into nature to find new perspectives.”
Celebrating the spirit of exploration
Attendees were presented with a timeline of the major milestones in the history of Minerva, founded by Charles-Ivan Robert in 1858 as a manufacturer of pocket watches. In addition to charting the evolution of classical watchmaking, the timeline illustrated key milestones in the spirit of mountain exploration as well as the spirit of racing, and the role Minerva played in both.
