A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION for the Montblanc brand since its inception, Mont Blanc is a peak that towers above all other mountains in Europe. Having scaled its heights, I can attest to the awesome vistas of glaciers, glacial peaks and iced lakes that it offers. Marco Tomasetta, Montblanc’s creative director describes the new Iced Sea Automatic date as a “way to create that same sense of awe and wonder that comes from the incredible experience of gazing into the depths of Alpine ice.”
That “Frozen” Dial
It is Montblanc’s first-ever certified diving watch and it is clear from our conversation with CEO Nicholas Baretzki that the IcedSea is no mere “me too” product. Eschewing the purely utilitarian and functional dials of traditional diving watches, Montblanc embraces a reproduction of the texture of ice with its interlocking network of crystals that have been frozen in time for millennia.
