“A Flight to Mont Blanc”

Under the motto “A Flight to Mont Blanc”, Montblanc invited some 1,500 international guests to an incomparable evening on 5 April 2006. With many celebrities  – including Naomi Campbell, Marcus Schenkenberg, Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis, Christopher and Gitte Lee, Thomas Heinze, Célia Gräfin von Bismarck, Bruno Eyron, Sunnyi Melles, Norbert A. Platt –  not only was the centenary celebrated, but also the world première of the first Montblanc Chronograph with Grande Complication.

An exclusive VW limousine service brought the invited guests to a very special location – to a replica of the summit of Mont Blanc. A real speciality, for no other brand logo can so perfectly reflect the company name in its event location. To create the mood for a magnificent party, both Managing Directors - Lutz Bethge and Wolff Heinrichsdorff – invited the guests to a champagne reception on board an original Airbus. Check-in for the presentation of the Montblanc Anniversary Watches and an incomparable party “on the summit of Mont Blanc”.

A special highlight was the presentation of the exclusive watches for ladies and gentlemen, in strictly limited editions worldwide. The “Montblanc Profile Lady Elegance“, a 9.85-carat ladies’ watch with a total of 794 Top Wesselton diamonds in facet and baguette cut on the strap, and the “Montblanc Star Chrono GMT Perpetual Calendar“ with COSC-certified movement, were stylishly presented by the top models Naomi Campbell and Marcus Schenkenberg and shown exclusively to the Montblanc guests.

The evening of the cultural brand Montblanc continued in dazzling fashion after the presentation. Star appearances by baritone Thomas Hampson, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, the violin virtuoso József Lendvay and the versatile Italian star singer Lucio Dalla, enchanted the guests with their music and made for an unforgettable evening.
