Rustan’s will bring to the country just in time for Christmas the Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Collection that  unites fine watchmaking, Swiss craftsmanship and the brand’s own renowned traditions.

Better known for making exquisite pens, Montblanc has taken inspiration from explorer Vasco de Gama. It is his  pioneering spirit and skillful navigation that have inspired the unique and memorable designs of the Heritage Collection.

The Montblanc Vasco de Gama Quantième Annuel has an annual calendar mechanism that automatically knows all the months from March to January and asks for “special attention” only on the last midnight of February.

The Quantième Complet Vasco de Gama has a silvery white dial with a sunburst pattern while the ExoTourbillon Chronograph, the flagship of this limited-edition line, boasts several artisanal elements like a sketch of De Gama’s sailing vessel, the São Gabriel.
