Montblanc products combine the values of traditional
craftsmanship and timeless aesthetics with the expression of a
refined lifestyle. This is also inherent in the Montblanc
Eyewear Collection being strongly aligned to the other Montblanc
Collections, reinterpreting the classical Doublé-Ring-design on
the temples or the elegant Montblanc signet in endura gold in
the style of the Montblanc Jewellery Collection. Like in other
product categories, the Montblanc collection has in recent times
successfully attracted women by offering a wide variety of
female styles.
The new 2008 Spring/Summer Montblanc Eyewear Collection is
the result of a carefully-orchestrated blend of aesthetic values
and timeless design: sophisticated flair is combined with modern
motifs, expressed in unique materials with unmistakable style.

The men’s styles are predominantly in metal, with Urban
Classic character. The aviator sunglasses, in drop and square
formats, are styled in the classic version with flat fronts and
temples in enamel-effect acetate recalling the materials used
for the famous Montblanc pens. The latter also provided the
inspiration for the “nib” motif on the temples of some models,
while others feature details from the Leather Collections.
Fascinating new features can be found in the circular
guilloché motifs enriching the temples, in reference to the
StarWalker Doué writing instruments as well as the Doublé Ring
design.
The women’s models are strongly aligned to the Montblanc
Jewellery Collections. They are distinctive for their highly
sophisticated, precious details that enhance the wide and
curving frames, with rounded, square and mask-style forms.

The Montblanc signet is creatively reinterpreted throughout
the new Eyewear Collection. It comes as a double-porthole – one
circular, one star-shaped – on the stems of some frames inspired
by the links of the Silver Jewellery Star Collection’s chain
necklace.
On the Crystella model the Montblanc signet becomes a
“playful luxury” in satin-finish gold with glossy edge andsmall
a Swarovski crystal rotating around its profile.
Classic “rings” on the temples provide a distinctive touch to
the square frames.
The acetate materials are enhanced by “jacquard” or
mother-of-pearl effects, in dark shades with harmonizing lens
colours, or in ivory with smoke lenses.
MB173S: bold and sophisticated, this mask shape is
enhanced by a variety of rose gold or endura metallic
reflections on the front. The combination temple is distinctive
for its ornamentation in metal with the Montblanc star, and
temple tip in acetate in feminine, pearly shades, such as
tortoise/pearl burnt umber, or pearl ivory.
MB180S: aviator glasses in metal, with double bridge,
enhanced by a particularly distinctive temple with the Doublé-Ring
design and circular guilloché motifs recalling the StarWalker
Doué writing instruments. Wrap-around front, and total comfort
with the spring hinge.
MB185S: in perfect harmony with the maison style, rich
in sophisticated details and valuable craftsmanship, Stardust
Shield is the product of aesthetic refinement and materials
expressing an approach combining tradition and modernity, with
strong reference to the techniques used in the Meisterstück
Solitaire Collection. The beautiful glossy rose gold colour
enhances the wealth of Swarovski crystals set amongst the
net-like motif of the broad temples.
