Hand-crafted with respect for tradition

In Villeret, fine watchmaking can boast a long and illustrious history, since it was here that the Minerva
Manufacture was established in 1858, laying the foundations for a tradition lasting 150 years, in the very
same building that houses Montblanc's workshops today. A heritage that has been handed down unbroken
from generation to generation, and to which the watchmakers of Villeret are still a credit. The timepieces
that they make by hand demand a perfect mastery of watchmaking techniques, an experienced eye and an
intuitive understanding of the soul of a watch. All qualities that develop in the course of a lifetime devoted
to this art.Because such skills are rare, Montblanc determined to preserve them by founding the centre of
excellence dedicated to movements and innovation in Villeret.
"Movements"
Centre of Excellence
In Villeret, the Montblanc watchmaking Manufacture is the centre of excellence dedicated to the
movement, where all the Manufacture's calibres are developed, from the smallest functional complication
to the innovative "grandes complications".
Every Montblanc movement represents a bridge linking tradition, performance and excellence.
The calibres are developed in the innovative spirit of today and the tradition of tomorrow.
