Living up to its iconic name and icy demeanour, Montblanc launched last year what would turn out to be one of its strongest lines to date, the Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea, a spin-off of its 1858 Collection. The main attraction is the uniquely rendered dial, and then there is the story and the inspiration behind it too.
Ice Ice Baby
The 1858 Iced Sea’s brilliant dial was the brainchild of Montblanc’s dial makers. With a rough, uneven texture, as if it has been scratched or even stomped on, it is meant technique where a piece of wood is used to scrape the surface of the dial by hand, which also means it takes much longer to create than a standard dial.
